Toyota Innova Hycross Fitted With Business Jet-Like Seats [Video]
The Toyota Innova holds a high reputation in the Indian market. It is known for its ride quality and cabin room. The Hycross succeeded the Innova in 2022, and soon rose to acceptance. Its customer base includes even wealthy businessmen and public figures. Now, someone has fitted business-class interior into a Hycross, turning it into a masterpiece. A video shared by the Mumbai-based premium car workshop 'Autorounders' shows the vehicle in detail.
It starts by saying that the donor car here was a lower variant of the Hycross. The host starts by explaining the changes that have happened inside the cabin. The interior colourway is now a pleasant shade of White. There is generous use of soft-touch leather inside. You can find them on the seats, armrests, door pads, centre console and even on the dashboard.
There's also ambient lighting that has been integrated neatly into the design. This offers selectable colour options. The front seats get perforated covers, and have been fitted with a ventilation function. Controls for ventilation are placed on the centre console.
The steering wheel is wrapped in genuine Nappa leather and has a good tactile feel to it. The roof-liner is the same as the standard car, but has now been fitted with 'Galaxy starlight' system. The MPV comes with a panoramic sunroof. 'Sky roof' lighting has been installed in this.
The biggest talking point of this build is the middle row. The stock seats have been swapped with plush 'business-class seats'. These look like the ones you find in private jets. There is generous cushioning, it has a good design, and offers high occupant comfort. These, the host says, have been imported. They get leather upholstery and offer a lot of electric adjustments. These also feature ventilation, heating and massage functions. The massage function further offers three selectable intensities.
The jet-like seats are claimed to offer massive reclines. The host says that these can recline up to 150 degrees. There are electric ottomans as well, which can be operated through the press of a few buttons. You can even see wing-like elements on either side of the headrests, meant to improve the occupant comfort further. These chairs are claimed to offer an experience that's comparable to that offered by a Vellfire!
As revealed by the host, these seats aren't 'very expensive'. Though imported, they are 'reasonably priced'. He, however, doesn't specify the cost. The garage plans to import more of these in the future, and hopes to install them on other vehicles as well.
Interestingly, this particular Hycross has retained the third row- the customer was specific about this. Accessing this would, however, take some time getting used to, as the middle row seats will have to be moved using buttons first. There seems to be just enough space on the third row, with the second row in use.
The middle-row occupants also get individual 12.3-inch touchscreen entertainment systems and USB charging points. A fairly large armrest is also offered.
Later in the video, the host details the changes that have been made to the vehicle's exterior design. It now gets a large, Chrome-clad, Maybach-like grille. The original headlamps have been retrofitted with mini projectors for enhanced illumination. It also gets aftermarket LED fog lamps, which feature an exciting design.
The stock wheels have been painted Gloss Black. The brake callipers are finished in a shade of Red. Reflectors have been installed on the rear bumper and the tail lamps are now connected by an illuminated bar. Finally, this Hycross was given a proper paint protection treatment as well.
