Toyota has introduced a new top-spec variant of its much-loved hybrid crossover, the Hycross. Called the Exclusive Edition, this model brings some cosmetic upgrades and added features, while keeping the trusted hybrid setup untouched. Priced at Rs. 32.58 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s based on the ZX (O) variant and is available only for a limited period.
Styling
The biggest changes in the Exclusive Edition are on the outside. Toyota has gone for a bolder look by offering dual-tone colour schemes. Buyers can choose between Super White and Pearl White as the primary body colour, but it’s the black accents that set this edition apart. You’ll find blacked-out treatment on the roof, front grille, ORVMs, bonnet emblem, plastic cladding, and the stylish alloy wheels.
This contrast design gives the Hycross a more aggressive and upmarket appearance, aimed at customers looking for something more exclusive and premium in a sea of standard SUVs.
Interior
Inside, the dual-tone theme continues to flow. The dashboard, door pads, and seats all carry a mix of dark and light tones that add a layer of sophistication. While the basic layout remains the same as the ZX (O) variant, the Exclusive Edition gets a few upgrades that add to everyday comfort and practicality.
Notably, Toyota has added:
- Ambient lighting in the foot well
- Wireless phone charging pad
- In-cabin air purifier
These may seem like small touches, but they elevate the in-cabin experience and cater to a more tech-savvy, comfort-focused buyer.
Engine
Under the hood, there are no changes to the powertrain. The Hycross Exclusive Edition is powered by the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a self-charging hybrid electric system. The combined output stands at approximately 186bhp and 205Nm of torque.
It uses an e-CVT gearbox that offers smooth and refined power delivery—ideal for both city cruising and highway drives. Toyota’s hybrid tech is already known for its fuel efficiency and lower emissions, and this edition sticks to that proven formula.
Here’s a quick look at the key mechanical specs:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol |
| Hybrid System | Self-charging electric motor |
| Power Output | 186bhp (combined) |
| Torque | 205Nm |
| Transmission | e-CVT |
Limited Run
Since it’s a special edition, Toyota will only offer the Exclusive Edition for a limited time. That adds an element of urgency for buyers who want something distinctive in the hybrid SUV segment. It doesn’t reinvent the Hycross, but the visual tweaks and extra features make it a strong proposition for those seeking something a bit more premium.
At Rs. 32.58 lakh, it is positioned at the top end of the Hycross range. The added style and cabin comforts could be enough to sway buyers who were already considering the ZX (O) variant.
