Toyota Innova HyCross GX(O): Added Offerings 

The GX variant now has another variant, the GX(O). This is the petrol-powered non-hybrid iteration. The seven-seater version, which is a popular choice, commands a premium over the eight-seater version, and besides that, the latter has surprisingly lesser offerings than the former.

That said, the GX(O) seven-seater boasts a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Apple CarPlay, auto HVAC, a rear defogger, rear sunshades (windows and windshield), and LED-powered headlamps. Another added offering is the premium-looking Chestnut-coloured interior, accompanied by soft-touch materials on the door panels and the dashboard. But, the seats are made of fabric. 

The eight-seater version, which is lower-priced than the seven-seater version, lacks the aforementioned offerings of the seven-seater version. Speaking of missing features, the GX(O) variant doesn't get a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and electrically-adjustable seats, to name a few. 

As far as the passive and active safety features are concerned, the Innova GX(O) is equipped with auto-hold, electronic parking brake, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, sir airbags, and ISOFIX child-seat anchorages. Moreover, it packs six airbags and all-wheel disc brakes.
