Really cool review. Range of hybrid looks impressive at first. Then I did a quick math. It saves roughly 2 Rs per km. Difference between a high end Hycross Petrol and low end Hycross Hybrid is about 5.6 lakhs. So if you really need to have saved at least 1Rs from this deal, you'll have to drive like 2.8 lakhs km. I'd rather put my 5.6 lakhs in a savings account with 4 interest rate. Gives me 207 litres of fuel per year calculated at 108 rs per litre. That makes about 2900km with mileage you gave. Even more with better rates. 😅
Me too have the same view, even i think the same. I won't be able to churn out even a difference of 2.5lcas in 5years if my average driving is 24k km per year ! Well wld buy gx and spend another 1lac on upgradations 😊
What Maths😅😅😅 you need mentally peace/ Freedom while driving so Hybrid is. These maths never churned out. As old as your car goes mileage goes down. I myself have Strong Hybrid in highways it gives me mileage of 50 with ac on. I remember that add Petrol khatam hi nahi hota
Instead of fortuner should have been taken Innova crysta Diesel that would have been much more sense ...than Crysta would have been much cheaper in running cost beating so called Strong Hybrid
@@97priyam what it returns is depend on driving style of person who drives "12" is not everyone's figure...It's upon zigwheels to tell approximately it returns and, still running cost is concern in long term it is still Diesel which is better also Scrap is only in some parts not in entire India. here the channel is for global or rather all India so the people living will decide whether to buy or not...
I think diesel will have high cost due to DEP and high maintenance. Hybrid has advantage of low maintenance petrol engine + great mileage(better than diesel engine) Hycross Hybrid is best car out there to buy currently( low engine noise. Smooth ride. High mileage) make it best for long drives and city
Mighty impressed with the FE of regular petrol. 13.87 is damm good for a car of this size. To put things in perspective, I get similar numbers with my Grand i10.
You guys are amazing... Love your comparison, reviews etc. Kindly do it for Hyryder also. I've booked one already but the waiting period is just unimaginable....
Man, I don’t understand how could the manufacturer accept the tyre size for this car. You look from 3/4s and the tyres almost disappear inside the fender!! :(
This is very interesting. In the Honda city hybrid comparison test, the diesel still came out on top. But here in the heavy SUV/MPV segment where it actually makes sense for a diesel powertrain, the petrol hybrid came out on top. The diesel even had 28L extra capacity and it still gave less fuel efficiency, more cost/km, & it'll only give an extra 68km of range compared with the hybrid. That is impressive. Wondering how much more weight the fortuner carries, being bigger and with a ladder frame chassis. Maybe that played some role.
Wow!! What a comparison! Hats off to Zig Wheels ! I personally own Hycross Hybrid and one literally needs to go to petrol pumps rarely on this car ! My car delivers a mileage of 19- 23 kmpl and the ride/seats are damn comfortable during long journeys!!
A big❤ on covering a distance of 1000 plus KM for a review shoot😅( considering reaching Pune), and showing the genuine performance of all three big cars, I would say, you three and your team are amazing people. All the best Zig Wheels.
This is what I was waiting for😍 U guys did a great work and made my day. I looked hybrid VX now i got the full satisfaction as thr was no proved video like how you guys made it. Hats off to you guys for the good work keep it up.👍
Kudos to ZIG WHEELS for this test. For someone who is considering the HYCROSS this test provides a meaningful insight. However a direct comparison with the latest gen INNOVA CRYSTA instead of the FORTUNER would have been the icing on the cake. Thanks.
If petrol gx vs hybrid gx exists.... Right now price difference is 4lakhs extra for hybrid... According to this test, we have to drive 2 lakh kilometers to justify premium for hybrid..... Looks like petrol gx is good value for money, for people who don't drive more than a 1000kms per month like me...nice video... Great work
Wrong calculations. GX OTR 22.77L VX OTR 29.5L difference 6.5 lakhs upfront Mileage Gx 10 kmpl minimum Vx 19 kmpl minimum (Note : i take minimum mileage because gx ne 13.5 kmpl mileage diya hai video mai but hamesha yehi nhi hoga city mai kam bhi hoga toh 10 kmpl man lete hai kam se kam) Hence to cover 6.5L upfront cost u need to use hybrod vehicle for 1,25,000 kms atleast. Also innova hycross hybrid battery cost 2.5L right now (not in india but outside india coverted into INR) Although it has 8 years warranty. Hence gx is value for money.
@@Gaurav-tz1bp yes brother i know...m here telling i want a gx hybrid...which is not on offer now...if gx hybrid exists it ll be 4lakhs extra to gx petrol... obviously Toyota now offers only vx hybrid with more features
No surprising results in this test, except the Goa detour of course 😂 Even with the higher investment, given how the fuel prices fluctuate (mostly upwards), the Hybrid, if driven more, may not be able recover the cost difference but could potentially make that extra investment feel worth it. But then with the hybrid and electrics, the question remains about the battery. Given the smaller size battery of a hybrid, it goes through far more charge cycles than its electric counterpart. As we know the efficiency of the hybrid is largely based on the torque/power assist the battery/motor provides, now, how long do you think it will be before a hybrid user starts seeing difference in efficiency figures? Will it be negligible? If not, how much will the replacement cost? Wont that effect the second hand value of the product? It was nice to hear Mr. Kamath speak Konkani, though Mr. Shenoy didn't extend the same courtesy 😛 While Fortuner dwarfs everything on road, Mr. Kamath dwarfs even the Fortuner😅
I am getting over 19.5kmpl constantly with my VX variant. I have done three fuel tank mileage test. And I am running on normal mode. This consist of both city and highway drive. 😊 Very nice video 👌🏻
Awesome.. your last video on Honda City hybrid vs Honda City diesel manual vs virtus gt .. made me to buy my car tht is virtus gt. Unbelievable video and made a good choice too . Thank u team. .. looking forward to see more videos like these . ❤
Lets assume, we drive 3.5 lakh km on each car. As per the data results from this video Hybrid- Rs.5.69*350000= Rs19,91,500 NA- Rs.7.67*350000= Rs.26,84,500 We save almost 7 lakh from Hybrid cars. That is great but we would have changed the hybrid batteries twice which costs 4 lakh each time. So total 8 lakhs lost. To save the 7 lakh, we need to spend 8 lakh on battery. So the clear winner is NA Petrol in terms of mileage. In case if you are buying the car in emi thinking that you will get best mileage. Car price difference is already 6 lakh and bank interest will be close to 2 lakhs. So again there will be 8 lakh difference. If you buying the car in mileage point of view, just go with NA Petrol
This is what i was looking for, Now i can close down my choice easily. Instead of Hybrid , petrol model is the best if we look at difference of 10 Lakhs in price.
I own a harrier automatic and I am very happy. (3 years, 40000 kms) I was bitten by the hybrid and ADAS bug, visited the showroom to see if I can get the hybrid. Boy, the moment I sat in the driver seat, I headed back to the door. The vehicle is cramped and I started feeling claustrophobic. Will keep my Harrier for some more time.
Another great Drive to death episode. Great Job Team Zigwheels , The ? was a good surprise and an indirect range comparison of all 3 Toyotas.14kmpl is great even with light load for the NA Innova petrol . want a Drive to death episode of Toyota Camry .
Thanks team ZigWheels for this 👍🏻 Legitimate Review and comparison, it really helps buyers to concentrate on few aspects and also the real time drive experience
659 km for a full tank 2.0 engine. That range is awesome for a 2.0 gas engine. My 2013 Innova 2.0 Gas 4 speed AT only have 380-390km range on a full tank.
Kudos to the whole team for the brilliant display of the efficiency for all these cars. I am already owner of hycross Gx and getting the same efficiency and satisfied with my decision for the price point at which the car is for my family requirement
I really loved your videos. I would like you to suggest a car for me with a budget of 25 lakhs. I am looking for a 7/8-seater car because I need more boot space. My requirements are: 1. Space (cabin and boot) and comfort 2. Reliability 3. Safety and decent mileage 4.Easy to maintain 5.Decent Resale value Car is mostly chauffeur(personaldriver)-driven and we use it once in 2 months (75% highway). This will be our first car,So Please suggest a car(MT/AT), its variant, and engine type. Please give me 2 options with priority.
Would love to see a Top gear style roadtrip in India from the brilliant zigwheels team. that's the first thought came to my mind after watching this video. 😀😀
Hey, how about a running cost vs cost price break-even comparison? The Rs / KM was might useful, but Fortuner and Hybrid are tens of lakhs more expensive than non-hybrid Hycross and each other. I know Fortuner is apples to oranges in the mix, but just to indulge a buyer, could you add a break even km too considering on-road prices?
Great review once again. Next set of vehicle. 1. Tucson, Tiguan, Jeep Compass. 2. Breeza, Nexon, Kiger, Magnite, Venue, Sonet. (Considering you have kartikeya, ameya and Nabil) Thanks
I drive an Ignis, that returns me 19-ish kmpl....that gigantic minibus of a car returning the same fuel economy as that of a compact hatchback...MADNESS!
I also made small maths calculation here: Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) On-Road Price in Bangalore:*Rs.26,50,615* Toyota Innova Hycross VX (Hybrid) On-Road Price in Bangalore:*Rs.32,76,722* - so the difference is roughly 6L … consider 2rs difference bet hycross & hybrid. if i drive up to 3lakhs kms for 6 years with hybrid then only i would reach 6Lakhs rupees saving. And round about buying only Hycross is worth. I have not included the hybrid battery replacement charges after 1.5 Lakhs kms. well just to enjoy high end features like ADAS, Ventilated Seats, Cruse control, and some features purpose only you can take Hybrid models. I would invest that 6lakhs in some real estate with some add on money.
Did some math here: If you drive Hybrid for 30,000km, At cost/km, it'd cost you: 1,70,700 And Non-hybrid: 2,30,100 So you'll save just 60k! Andd, the diff in buying is 8l+ (not denying the features and feel but this is how much you shell out)
Great comparison…Seems Petrol Innova makes more sense than even Diesel Auto …. Hybrid has a savings of 2 rupees per Km … so the break even point is like 3-4 lakh kms ( considering the price difference is 6 to 8 lakhs )
Thanks for watching. Do account for the difference in variants between the two powertrains too. Not only is the hybrid more efficient and a stronger performer, it’s also offered in higher variants with more features which also adds to the price premium
Driving experience of the Hybrid is way better than the petrol. Plus you can get all the comfort and luxury features which you can’t get in the petrol. Then the green image, which may matter to some if not to all. Hybrids are also more future proof
Would be interested to know what drive mode was used by the HYCross Hybrid in the this experiment. (Eco/Normal/Power) or a combination of the 3. If so in any particular ratio?
Superb comparison! The number crunching at the end was great. Just one more thing you could've added - break even point. How many kilometres you need to drive the hybrid to cover the extra money that you pay for the hybrid variant.
The breakeven point would be far lower if you discount the 5-6 lakh worth of additional features that the ZX (O) has over the GX. But like you rightly pointed out, a Hybrid car at current price points will not make sense in the overall cost of ownership scheme of things. If Toyota had the VX/ZX spec for the non-hybrid, that’d be very interesting!
A lot of people buy diesel over petrol or electric over ICE or CNG over petrol or hybrid over petrol - just because they're cheaper to run, without doing this break even point calculation. And most people don't even use the car till break even point, which is mostly a few lakh kilometres.
Im impressed in your dedication just to give us actual data. Amazing content. So i just sibscribed and will watch more on you channel. One question please, how does the Innova Hybrid feel going uphill? And when fully loaded?
Thank you! The Hycross Hybrid has enough punch for driving uphill with a full load, especially because of the electric assist. It will get vocal especially on sharp hill overtakes but the performance is there
Nice and griping video. I have narrowed down to hybrid hycorsss. Which variant do u recommend( and value for money being top criterion) without compromising the essentials
the most awaited comparison a petrol, petrol hybrid and the diesel .......candid and fun .....nice fuel economy test..👍...... i did not get this towards the end he said in the Fortuner 28 extra liters of diesel will give you only 68 extra kilometers what was that........
The total tank range on a Fortuner diesel is 1040km with a 80 litre tank. The total tank range on a Innova HyCross Hybrid is 972km on a 52 litre tank. Fuel advantage Fortuner has: 80-52= 28 litres Tank Range advantage Fortuner has: 1040-972= 68km Hence the statement.
Great Comparison of FE. Nice Video. All the Best for Future Videos. Long Drive Video on Innova Hycross was much awaited and you guys have made a perfect one. From all aspects I feel, VX Variant is value for money!
Excellent effort ...keep it up, pls clarify the difference in fuel efficiency of hybrid vs non hybrid in city....on highway its 2rs/l difference but wat about city... this difference shud increase?
Would like you to do a video on the choice to make now between a petrol hybrid/petrol/diesel considering the capital cost including interest and the running costs and the resale value especially of the diesel considering its possible ban.
Even if we count 6 lacs price difference and not 9, it will take 3 lac kilometers and even more if you count the interest for hycross to cover the price difference between the petrol version. But the real differentiator will be the city ride test as petrol engines give obscene mileages in city while hybrids give more mileage as pure EV mode is activated at low speeds.
Thanks guys for this lovely video on hycross petrol & hybrid but hycross hybrid is selling like a hot cake since Toyota has just opened up the bookings for VX o hybrid
Hi Raviraj, we’ve done this very test with the Grand Vitara hybrid vs mild hybrid here. The same powertrains as the Hyryder: th-cam.com/video/zl70am-KSUY/w-d-xo.html
Very nice project and interesting and HAT KE, Here is my Pick Who Wins, GX or VX and WHY? CLEAR WINNER IS Hycross GXin this case as per a common citizen like me who thinks and calculates as below You have all that required to cruise the car on highway and city (understand Cruise-Control would have been added advantage but to be frank I do not use cruise in my KIA Seltos when I finds the roads I can use Cruise-Control, as its prone to accident, as you become lazy and your attention quickly goes away and you also feel sleepy. Always experience this while going to hometown Nagpur from Hyderabad when I am on HYD outer ring road, that the only run of 40 KM I think cruise control designed to be leveraged otherwise rest 450 KM you can not use cruise control even if roads are superior then HYD-BANGALORE roads. Hycross VX mileage may be mouth watering but in reality its not when you compare to GX HOW? - 1) Price saving you dobetween Hycross VX and Hycross GX model is lets say 6 lakh. 2) Assume you drive 10K per year 3) VX Mileage is 18 and lets say GX mileage is 12 4) Assumed Petrol price is 110 5) VX Annual Fuel expense comes around 91K and GX comes to 61K 6) You are saving 30K per year on VX but remember you paid 6 lakh extra for VX, considering 30K per year extra for GX you can spend your 6 lakh saving buying GX for another 600000/30000=20 years. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, YOU ARE GOING TO USE YOUR CAR 20 YEARS LOL. HENCE GX is Winner
Clear sense to buy petrol and Put 8 lacs in Mutual funds and pay for 800 litres annually - not to consider cost of batteries to be replaced after 8 years - this itself translates to huge shift to purchase
Ok , i still would prefer my 2023 fortuner over innova hycross hybrid .. Reasons :- 1. Robust Body On Frame Construction 2. Road Presence and Dominant Image 3. 201 bhp and 600 nm torque 4. Rear wheel drive 5. Doesn’t have fancy batteries and tech .. less to maintain in long term 6. Build Quality is Far better then Innova Hycross
I go for petrol version . And invest the amount saved from buying a hybrid variant in a good mutual fund and easily earn 10% to 15% per annum from that amount. From interest amount it will be used for my petrol expenses.
Hey team your effort was super.....fortuner and hycross petrol is so good if you don't have to travel so much...and resale value of hybrid will be very leads compare to these two because that battery valid period...
in my 30s too and drove from Kanyakumari to Mumbai non stop in 24 hours.. did Mumbai Tirupati and back in 3 days.. drove from Kozkikode to Panvel non stop.. Mumbai, Manali and back in 6 days.. so
One thing I could understand from this review is to buy the GX petrol variant is good because there is a difference of 8 lakhs in on road price between GX petrol variant and VX hybrid variant , and 14 lakhs difference of high end model (zx) . There is very little changes in the interior and exterior between the GX Petrol and the VX Hybrid. The GX petrol variant costs Rs 714,285 to run 1 lakh km at an average of petrol price Rs 100 per liter, while the VX hybrid model costs Rs 526,315 to run 1 lakh km and the difference is Rs 187,969 , If the difference of 8 lakhs is to be accounted for, the vehicle must be driven for more than 4 lakh kilometers and The Average After 3 lakhs km the battery will have to be changed and for that you will have to pay lakhs . Conclusion ; petrol variant is best for family use
@@zigwheels cool... I have personally test driven the new Hycross Hybrid.. it doesn't feel like driving a big SUV or MPV. But only demerit that u too pointed was loud noise if revv hard ! Surprised to see petrol engine this loud 📢
All these numbers go off the table in the real world when the Innova does what it's supposed to do, move people and not just be driven around by one person.
The weight of that extra diesel and the cubic capacity of furtuner is to be considered. Having said that, a crysta would have been a perfect comparison.
Really cool review. Range of hybrid looks impressive at first. Then I did a quick math. It saves roughly 2 Rs per km.

Even more with better rates. 😅
Rightly said 👌👌👌

All three beast together to see is amazing. 😍
God job guys.
Keep up this unique comparoo 👍
Thanks to team for creating such a informative video...Keep going...Good Luck❤
Kudos to the effort and detailed fuel and range comparison.
Hey, how about a running cost vs cost price break-even comparison?
The Rs / KM was might useful, but Fortuner and Hybrid are tens of lakhs more expensive than non-hybrid Hycross and each other.
I know Fortuner is apples to oranges in the mix, but just to indulge a buyer, could you add a break even km too considering on-road prices?
Great review once again. Next set of vehicle.
1. Tucson, Tiguan, Jeep Compass.
2. Breeza, Nexon, Kiger, Magnite, Venue, Sonet. (Considering you have kartikeya, ameya and Nabil)
Thanks
Really commendable..it’s innova-tive style to describe everything about innova..appreciate it..
big question!
battery replacement duration and cost??
I drive an Ignis, that returns me 19-ish kmpl....that gigantic minibus of a car returning the same fuel economy as that of a compact hatchback...MADNESS!
I also made small maths calculation here:
Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) On-Road Price in Bangalore:*Rs.26,50,615*
Toyota Innova Hycross VX (Hybrid) On-Road Price in Bangalore:*Rs.32,76,722* - so the difference is roughly 6L … consider 2rs difference bet hycross & hybrid. if i drive up to 3lakhs kms for 6 years with hybrid then only i would reach 6Lakhs rupees saving. And round about buying only Hycross is worth. I have not included the hybrid battery replacement charges after 1.5 Lakhs kms. well just to enjoy high end features like ADAS, Ventilated Seats, Cruse control, and some features purpose only you can take Hybrid models.
I would invest that 6lakhs in some real estate with some add on money.
Did some math here:
If you drive Hybrid for 30,000km,
At cost/km, it'd cost you: 1,70,700
And Non-hybrid: 2,30,100
So you'll save just 60k! Andd, the diff in buying is 8l+ (not denying the features and feel but this is how much you shell out)
Great comparison…Seems Petrol Innova makes more sense than even Diesel Auto …. Hybrid has a savings of 2 rupees per Km … so the break even point is like 3-4 lakh kms ( considering the price difference is 6 to 8 lakhs )
Thanks for watching. Do account for the difference in variants between the two powertrains too. Not only is the hybrid more efficient and a stronger performer, it’s also offered in higher variants with more features which also adds to the price premium
@@zigwheels ho yes 👍🏾 … variant to variant hybrid premium it 5-6 lakhs
Driving experience of the Hybrid is way better than the petrol. Plus you can get all the comfort and luxury features which you can’t get in the petrol. Then the green image, which may matter to some if not to all.
Hybrids are also more future proof
This jodi of Arun and Tushar is the best in business. Straight down to facts, no drama, no fuss, no nonsense. I just adore you guys so much.❤🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
Would be interested to know what drive mode was used by the HYCross Hybrid in the this experiment. (Eco/Normal/Power) or a combination of the 3. If so in any particular ratio?
Such a detailed content than any other contents on youtube.
Superb comparison! The number crunching at the end was great.
Just one more thing you could've added - break even point. How many kilometres you need to drive the hybrid to cover the extra money that you pay for the hybrid variant.
The breakeven point would be far lower if you discount the 5-6 lakh worth of additional features that the ZX (O) has over the GX.
But like you rightly pointed out, a Hybrid car at current price points will not make sense in the overall cost of ownership scheme of things.
If Toyota had the VX/ZX spec for the non-hybrid, that’d be very interesting!
A lot of people buy diesel over petrol or electric over ICE or CNG over petrol or hybrid over petrol - just because they're cheaper to run, without doing this break even point calculation. And most people don't even use the car till break even point, which is mostly a few lakh kilometres.
This topic not necessary has to be boring. Well done guys!
Thanks Ashwin! Glad you liked it
Nice video..i was bit confused to upgrade my innova crysta diesel into innova hycross hybrid..now i got more clarity. Thanks guys 👍
Glad you liked it, Paras
Great video guys 👍
Im impressed in your dedication just to give us actual data. Amazing content. So i just sibscribed and will watch more on you channel. One question please, how does the Innova Hybrid feel going uphill? And when fully loaded?
Thank you! The Hycross Hybrid has enough punch for driving uphill with a full load, especially because of the electric assist. It will get vocal especially on sharp hill overtakes but the performance is there
This the video i never skipped a part. Well done zig wheel
Awesome, thank you!
Nice and griping video. I have narrowed down to hybrid hycorsss. Which variant do u recommend( and value for money being top criterion) without compromising the essentials
Amazing idea,great video!
You guys cleared the confusion of every toyota buyer👍👍👍
🙏🙏
the most awaited comparison a petrol, petrol hybrid and the diesel .......candid and fun .....nice fuel economy test..👍...... i did not get this towards the end he said in the Fortuner 28 extra liters of diesel will give you only 68 extra kilometers what was that........
The total tank range on a Fortuner diesel is 1040km with a 80 litre tank.
The total tank range on a Innova HyCross Hybrid is 972km on a 52 litre tank.
Fuel advantage Fortuner has: 80-52= 28 litres
Tank Range advantage Fortuner has:
1040-972= 68km
Hence the statement.
@@zigwheels thanks for the clarity.... 👍
Great Comparison of FE. Nice Video. All the Best for Future Videos. Long Drive Video on Innova Hycross was much awaited and you guys have made a perfect one. From all aspects I feel, VX Variant is value for money!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent effort ...keep it up, pls clarify the difference in fuel efficiency of hybrid vs non hybrid in city....on highway its 2rs/l difference but wat about city... this difference shud increase?
Would like you to do a video on the choice to make now between a petrol hybrid/petrol/diesel considering the capital cost including interest and the running costs and the resale value especially of the diesel considering its possible ban.
Crazy guys
But after this
If a crysta vs the hybrid and normal hycross video can be done
It will be really nice
We actually tried to get a Crysta diesel for this but couldn’t arrange one in time for this shoot 😔
Woww .amaging for ur hardwork showing off every struggle with your demo of these cars.love u lot keep influence us with cars knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Even if we count 6 lacs price difference and not 9, it will take 3 lac kilometers and even more if you count the interest for hycross to cover the price difference between the petrol version.
But the real differentiator will be the city ride test as petrol engines give obscene mileages in city while hybrids give more mileage as pure EV mode is activated at low speeds.
Thanks guys for this lovely video on hycross petrol & hybrid but hycross hybrid is selling like a hot cake since Toyota has just opened up the bookings for VX o hybrid
Can you please do the same video with the hyryder strong hybrid vs hyrydrer 1.5 N/A?
Hi Raviraj, we’ve done this very test with the Grand Vitara hybrid vs mild hybrid here. The same powertrains as the Hyryder: th-cam.com/video/zl70am-KSUY/w-d-xo.html
I’m getting this car delivered on my birthday and even my mother could drive it easily
Very nice project and interesting and HAT KE,
Here is my Pick Who Wins, GX or VX and WHY?
CLEAR WINNER IS Hycross GXin this case as per a common citizen like me who thinks and calculates as below
You have all that required to cruise the car on highway and city (understand Cruise-Control would have been added advantage but to be frank I do not use cruise in my KIA Seltos when I finds the roads I can use Cruise-Control, as its prone to accident, as you become lazy and your attention quickly goes away and you also feel sleepy. Always experience this while going to hometown Nagpur from Hyderabad when I am on HYD outer ring road, that the only run of 40 KM I think cruise control designed to be leveraged otherwise rest 450 KM you can not use cruise control even if roads are superior then HYD-BANGALORE roads.
Hycross VX mileage may be mouth watering but in reality its not when you compare to GX
HOW? -
1) Price saving you dobetween Hycross VX and Hycross GX model is lets say 6 lakh.
2) Assume you drive 10K per year
3) VX Mileage is 18 and lets say GX mileage is 12
4) Assumed Petrol price is 110
5) VX Annual Fuel expense comes around 91K and GX comes to 61K
6) You are saving 30K per year on VX but remember you paid 6 lakh extra for VX, considering 30K per year extra for GX you can spend your 6 lakh saving buying GX for another 600000/30000=20 years.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, YOU ARE GOING TO USE YOUR CAR 20 YEARS LOL. HENCE GX is Winner
Clear sense to buy petrol and Put 8 lacs in Mutual funds and pay for 800 litres annually - not to consider cost of batteries to be replaced after 8 years - this itself translates to huge shift to purchase
Ok , i still would prefer my 2023 fortuner over innova hycross hybrid ..
Reasons :-
1. Robust Body On Frame Construction
2. Road Presence and Dominant Image
3. 201 bhp and 600 nm torque
4. Rear wheel drive
5. Doesn’t have fancy batteries and tech .. less to maintain in long term
6. Build Quality is Far better then Innova Hycross
Fair enough
I go for petrol version . And invest the amount saved from buying a hybrid variant in a good mutual fund and easily earn 10% to 15% per annum from that amount. From interest amount it will be used for my petrol expenses.
But petrol version doesnt provide the basic features
maza aa gaya bhai.. badhiya content
Another excellent video by ZigWheels! You guys rock!!
Hey team your effort was super.....fortuner and hycross petrol is so good if you don't have to travel so much...and resale value of hybrid will be very leads compare to these two because that battery valid period...
have never seen a comparison like this.... amazing
Glad you liked it 🙏
Awesome video, Enjoyed it a lot
the best comparision i have ever seen
Bro Innova hycross gxo
MG hector plus savy pro which is best
Friendly car my 1 St car😢🎉😢
go for hycross gxo blindly
Super good effort guys ...well done !!!
in my 30s too and drove from Kanyakumari to Mumbai non stop in 24 hours.. did Mumbai Tirupati and back in 3 days.. drove from Kozkikode to Panvel non stop.. Mumbai, Manali and back in 6 days..
so
ohh and Mumbai Orccha Khajuraho Varanasi and back in 6 days too!
Amazing comparison. Thumbs up to Team ZigWheels
🙏🙏
Results would have been more accurate if the drivers were exchanged mid trip..anyways kudos to you guysss...excellent job🎉
Wow... beautifully explained with proper data...kudos.
🙏🙏
Great Comparison.. enjoyed this!!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you.. finally someone is doing a practical test of Hycross! Really disappointed with waiting period!
Thanks Nikhil, yes, the waiting period is quite 😵💫
Finally got the delivery🎉14 months waiting!! 😅 ZXO variant❤
One thing I could understand from this review is to buy the GX petrol variant is good because there is a difference of 8 lakhs in on road price between GX petrol variant and VX hybrid variant , and 14 lakhs difference of high end model (zx) .
There is very little changes in the interior and exterior between the GX Petrol and the VX Hybrid.
The GX petrol variant costs Rs 714,285 to run 1 lakh km at an average of petrol price Rs 100 per liter, while the VX hybrid model costs Rs 526,315 to run 1 lakh km and the difference is Rs 187,969 , If the difference of 8 lakhs is to be accounted for, the vehicle must be driven for more than 4 lakh kilometers and
The Average After 3 lakhs km the battery will have to be changed and for that you will have to pay lakhs .
Conclusion ; petrol variant is best for family use
Hybrid is the nearest future and hydrogen hybrid is the next
Brilliant camparison! Loved it
Lovely guys great work... I would like to see more about hybrid cars
Thank you 🙏
Kudos to the effort you have ppl have put to present this sort of video
Nice Video Guys ! Loved it ..
Thanks Siddharth!
Our favorite Car guys are back and How! Kudos to you as always. Totally loved it.
Impressive. Is it possible to a cost vs km payback to decide on each vehicle?
Wow this was exciting ❤ properly evaluated! Will the mileage increase after 2nd or 3rd service ? Or this is the final one ?
Thanks man! There can be changes post service but the difference will be marginal
@@zigwheels cool... I have personally test driven the new Hycross Hybrid.. it doesn't feel like driving a big SUV or MPV. But only demerit that u too pointed was loud noise if revv hard ! Surprised to see petrol engine this loud 📢
All these numbers go off the table in the real world when the Innova does what it's supposed to do, move people and not just be driven around by one person.
Very cool review and this is live infromation from field
Innova Hybrid is coming out in the Philippines starting next week.
We will definitely check this out to possibly replace our thirsty Toyota Camry 2.5G
The weight of that extra diesel and the cubic capacity of furtuner is to be considered. Having said that, a crysta would have been a perfect comparison.
