Toyota Innova Hycross Receives New Safety Feature with AVAS – Prices Remain the Same
Innova Hycross Hybrid Gets AVAS for Pedestrian Safety – What You Need to Know!
Toyota Kirloskar Motor keeps adding to its portfolio, and the latest development introduces a vital safety feature to the Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid. Having released the Fortuner Legender Manual and Hilux Black Edition, Toyota has now added the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) to some models of the Innova Hycross. This upgrade improves pedestrian safety without impacting the price of the vehicle.
AVAS: A Step Towards Safer Roads
The Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) is now offered in the VX, VX(O), ZX, and ZX(O) versions of the Innova Hycross Hybrid. With the purpose of avoiding pedestrian accidents, AVAS releases an artificial sound when the car is in motion at low speeds, making individuals around it know that it is present. It is particularly helpful in parking lots, residential zones, and urban roads, where electric and hybrid cars are more likely to run quietly. The noise is diligently designed to be audible without being obtrusive, providing an additional layer of protection.
Comprehensive Safety Package
In addition to AVAS, the Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid is already equipped with a strong safety package, which includes:
✅ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
✅ 360-degree camera for improved visibility.
✅ Six airbags for overall protection.
✅ Vehicle stability control & hill-hold assist for increased driving confidence.
✅ Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for maximum safety and performance.

10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with latest connectivity.
