1.7 -> yes ladies and gentlemen is the car that
4.38 -> you've all been waiting to know more
5.759 -> about it is the Innova High cross it was
7.44 -> launched in Mumbai just a few days ago
9.059 -> and the entire Automotive fraternity was
11.04 -> there giving us details in fact Rohan
12.66 -> was there giving us a detailed walk
14.219 -> around never mind um well I'm here today
16.44 -> with the car doing what Rohan didn't get
18.6 -> to do that day is uh get behind the
21.359 -> driver's seat and it's so funny that he
23.34 -> talks of me as if I were not here but
25.14 -> then we all are here thanks a lot for
26.519 -> tuning in folks and yes of course
28.14 -> welcome to power day
32.89 -> [Music]
41.52 -> so
48.9 -> [Music]
53.84 -> this car excels in bumper to bumper
56.699 -> traffic
58.739 -> when you start driving it in the city it
61.26 -> always starts in electric motor
63.6 -> straight off the bat a lot more easier a
66.72 -> lot more comfortable easier because
69.54 -> visibility is perfect it's actually so
71.7 -> much better than the Krista
75 -> the dashboard is set lower but even
77.46 -> lower is the window line so you have
79.14 -> good visibility on the side as well
80.64 -> a-pillar is not obstructing your view as
82.799 -> much so the monocox chassis here and
84.6 -> overall a new platform ground up is
86.34 -> doing its job so some people had an
87.84 -> issue with Innova and that was you know
89.52 -> you move around a lot in this you're
91.38 -> going to be planted
92.4 -> [Music]
95.4 -> when it gets Drive modes once again
97.5 -> there's a button right above EV mode and
99.9 -> you can cycle through pwr red mid Eco
103.2 -> Green mid and EV mode blue so this
106.14 -> basically is the Comfort the default
107.579 -> mode ah the default 30. so what these
109.259 -> driving modes do is basically just
111 -> sharpen the throttle response rather the
112.799 -> normal mode I stepped on the gas and
114.36 -> it's it's not delivered as much as oh
117.119 -> watch out
118.68 -> the car to get pretty well yeah
122.34 -> this car it feels on the stiffer side
124.5 -> than on the softer side
128.039 -> so with Krista there was one seat which
130.679 -> wasn't really very tempting and that was
132.06 -> the driver's seat in this you are going
134.28 -> to be tempted to be in the driver's seat
135.599 -> so shotgun will have to be called on for
137.58 -> the co-passenger seat here but
141.98 -> it's nice right yeah very nice
144.29 -> [Music]
146.099 -> six airbags we've got it covered
150.5 -> the six airbags are not standard in
153.3 -> every variant there are some variants
154.739 -> which get only two airbags but then the
157.319 -> car is equipped yes with Toyota safety
159.78 -> Sense 3.0 8- Suite of Safety Systems
163.14 -> okay so out of the city track
168.4 -> [Applause]
171.959 -> so let's answer the first question do
173.7 -> you miss the tour
174.84 -> it picks up speed
176.819 -> just about fine I mean it's not sports
178.5 -> car like fast but then it feels much
180.66 -> faster than the Innova Crysta from
181.98 -> behind the wheel the way that the power
183.84 -> is put out the way that the talk is
185.28 -> delivered things quite different than a
186.66 -> conventional IC engine yeah and I think
188.879 -> a good measure of saying that it doesn't
190.8 -> feel underpowered are brothers at Zig
192.54 -> Wheels by the way loaded up the car this
194.04 -> morning fully seven people they gunned
196.2 -> it 0-200 happened in about 14 seconds
198.18 -> when they did that so the claim by
200.4 -> Toyota that zero 200 would be under 10
202.26 -> seconds seems to be a legit claim
204.3 -> because when you load it up with luggage
205.739 -> and seven people it's happening in 14
207 -> seconds
208.42 -> [Music]
215.06 -> so uh in that sense the vehicle is not
218.04 -> going to feel underpower not at all
220.2 -> right but you will miss the talk yes but
223.86 -> also okay maybe a better way to put that
226.379 -> is uh diesel engines the way they put
228.54 -> down the power it feels different you
230.04 -> have to slot it in the right gear or let
231.42 -> the gearbox do it and then the torque
233.34 -> builds up after let's say 1500 RPM 2000
235.62 -> RPM here that punch is not there the
238.62 -> torque wave is not in the top wave but
241.08 -> then there is a trade-off here what you
242.94 -> get in return is tremendous amount of
244.799 -> refinement the cabin itself is very well
247.14 -> insulated one of the days of feeling uh
250.019 -> you know having an agricultural feeling
251.879 -> to Innova this is premium premium it's
255.72 -> refined it's luxurious yes
258.76 -> [Music]
259.91 -> [Applause]
262.16 -> so because it is simulating a CVT
264.9 -> transmission you will feel the rubber
267.06 -> band
267.72 -> effect you are asking the car to do
269.22 -> something that
272.28 -> the paddle shifter is here and they work
274.979 -> so and they'll be back and they'll be
277.86 -> back at you
281.6 -> with the use of this chassis Toyota has
284.34 -> shaved off 200 kilos and that does make
287.16 -> a huge difference right
290.3 -> the battery has been placed under the
292.259 -> seat so that boot space is not
293.58 -> compromised and boot space on this is
295.199 -> just phenomenal with the third row down
296.759 -> 991 liters
299.46 -> I had high expectations even from the
301.259 -> horn but
303.72 -> it has a very similar tone to that of
306.18 -> the crystals
310.86 -> big apologies on our launch video we
313.08 -> said that it doesn't get tire pressure
314.34 -> monitoring system
315.6 -> the high cross does get that detailed
318.36 -> walk around yeah thank you it's right
321.18 -> out there in a place where it should be
323.28 -> at the mid it's not an accessory so
325.919 -> sorry for saying that the car doesn't
327.6 -> get TPMS uh folks it does get ppms
331.08 -> it just pretty much gets all kinds of
333 -> features but it doesn't get wireless
334.56 -> Android it does get Wireless Apple
336.9 -> carplay also misses out on a heads-up
338.94 -> display which the High Rider gets that I
341.1 -> did Cover in my detailed walk around
342.9 -> back then
344.57 -> [Music]
349.44 -> music system is nice nine speaker JPL
351.66 -> system
352.56 -> [Music]
354.84 -> it slightly nudges the steering yes yes
357 -> it yeah so if you don't indicate and you
359.94 -> are changing lanes it'll try and correct
361.5 -> it but if you indicate it doesn't do it
362.82 -> so it's smart also what I like but it
364.5 -> really helps you overtake with a lot
366.66 -> more ease yeah there is a sense of
368.52 -> safety when you look at that orange
369.78 -> light there it's trying to tell you that
371.52 -> hey don't do it welcome yourself to the
374.1 -> world of a dash
377.88 -> cheap ain't nobody
381.479 -> changes man it is automatic headlamps
384.96 -> here and there is also automatic hiding
386.699 -> part of the Ada system
387.92 -> [Music]
392.6 -> all right so if you're done talking
394.56 -> about what the Innova High cross feels
396.24 -> like to drive in the city and also
398.28 -> basically when we are on the Move then
400.8 -> it's about time that we talk about the
402.66 -> exteriors of it
404.539 -> talk about the looks and also the
406.62 -> interior software your time starts okay
408.78 -> now
409.979 -> oh he's taking the interior
413.699 -> on the outside it does look like an SUV
415.919 -> but on the inside it does feel like an
417.66 -> MPV it looks like we're gonna have to
419.34 -> talk about the high cross from the
421.5 -> outside here how it looks so let's start
423.539 -> here at the front which is where the
425.039 -> Innova High cross looks like an
426.3 -> enforcing SUV and that you will agree
428.52 -> gear sick having placed here not the
430.56 -> most attractive place to have your gay
431.759 -> stick but then again it adds
432.84 -> practicality to the cabin very much
434.4 -> required in your MPV in your family
436.319 -> vehicle now look at the grill it is
438.9 -> pretty much like that on the crystal in
441.24 -> terms of its shape not in terms of the
443.16 -> size it's a little smaller one out here
444.84 -> you also see headlamps that will remind
447.18 -> you of Hilux Highlander Fortuner it's a
450.78 -> good mix and match of all the good
452.22 -> looking SUVs that Toyota already has in
454.38 -> the market lots of patches where soft
456.419 -> touch materials have been used also
458.34 -> you'll notice these small details like
459.84 -> stitching and aluminum the fog lamps are
462.18 -> stuck down below here looking very small
464.039 -> for this kind of a car and you also have
465.84 -> brushed aluminum cladding and lettering
469.94 -> i-n-n-o-v-a Innova proudly being
472.259 -> flaunted on the chest and quality a
474 -> chance because look at the Bonnet so
475.38 -> beefy the white LED DRS there were white
478.02 -> just a moment ago well are also turn
480.9 -> indicators what I also like in this
482.52 -> cabin is the steering wheel so much
484.08 -> better than what the crystal gets it is
485.52 -> that a lab it also gets barrels on the
487.44 -> back gets a lot of buttons here however
489.12 -> the feedback from this button could have
490.5 -> been better from the side the Innova
492.24 -> High cross is such a long car now the
494.34 -> first thing that they have done to make
495.479 -> it look like an MPV is of course they've
497.16 -> changed the rake angle of the a-pillar
498.72 -> here it is much more upright in this
500.639 -> case than is the case in mpvs the
502.62 -> paddles could have been finished in
504.06 -> higher quality materials it is plastic
506.34 -> and I don't really like them it's sort
508.139 -> of driving Centric vehicle so these
509.699 -> actually work but then again this is
511.8 -> something that you grip quite often and
514.02 -> you see the side view mirror here is
515.459 -> looking pretty because it's got a chrome
516.719 -> garnish but then that's an accessory
518.459 -> remember this is a hybrid car so you
520.14 -> have the hybrid badging right out here
521.76 -> something that you might like is the
523.979 -> adjustability can be adjusted for rake
526.2 -> and reach both so you can set yourself
528.66 -> nice and low and get the steering wheel
530.519 -> adjusted just as right Toyota you know
532.44 -> added so much of detailing to the side
534.3 -> of an Innova as the case here in high
536.22 -> cross what I also like
538.08 -> both these flaps they get a mirror with
540.48 -> illumination so the Innova High cross it
542.64 -> wants you to look pretty and confident
544.14 -> guard is sitting on 18 inch wheels here
546.06 -> whether the car looks too big with small
548.279 -> wheels or not well you let us know in
550.2 -> the comments section below let's just
551.7 -> move on to the back over here you see
553.74 -> some cuts and creases over the rear
555.18 -> wheel Arch people had a word for it
557.279 -> today morning what was it again hang on
558.899 -> a second
561.019 -> hi sorry uh you had a word to describe
564.42 -> the rear here from the side in the
566.16 -> morning yep that's my word why don't I
567.839 -> take over oh God ladies and gentlemen
570.3 -> the word that I used in the morning is a
572.22 -> haunch it's not a power haunch but then
573.779 -> Toyota has never styled the Innova with
576.18 -> such detail they've done it finally with
577.68 -> the high cross soap kudos for Toyota for
579.899 -> that
583.04 -> oh the second row of an Innova who's to
586.98 -> complain well this has been
588.24 -> traditionally one of the most
589.74 -> comfortable places to be in the Innova
591.779 -> also the C pillar it's quite thick and
593.88 -> that is down to the fact that the window
595.2 -> it breaks down quite steeply here that
598.2 -> makes the pillar quite thick by the way
599.88 -> the Ingress and eggress is just awesome
601.86 -> that's also because of the ground
603.36 -> clearance it's pretty much the same as
605.16 -> the Christa similarities can be drawn
607.8 -> but then it gets its own styling
609.48 -> elements like for instance these long
611.339 -> and Sleek tail lamps that spread across
613.019 -> three panels so they are big also notice
615.66 -> this beautiful Chrome garnish that sits
618 -> in between them gets a spoiler I know
619.92 -> it's an MPV but then it has a nice
621.66 -> recess to it the high stop lamp mounted
624.06 -> right there and now coming to the
625.74 -> captain seats here I when I'm sitting in
628.08 -> here I feel like a king from the ottoman
630.779 -> Turkish Dynasty because these are
633.3 -> ottoman captain seats which means that
635.339 -> you're gonna have a button here and a
638.1 -> powered way to extend your legs in a
640.92 -> comfortable position Auto man is the
642.899 -> name given to this tool that you keep
644.1 -> next to the couch so that you can rest
645.54 -> your legs on and you know be in Comfort
648.24 -> the Innova High cross badging here
650.399 -> notice the capital c that's how it's
652.62 -> spelled panoramic sunroof which is a big
654.66 -> sunroof big big sunroof so you feel even
657.12 -> more livelier here this paint looks
659.94 -> really premium on the cards as big you
661.56 -> will want to have such a color now
663.36 -> there's lots of leg room here by the way
665.459 -> then that's because uh the wheelbase has
667.62 -> been increased by 100 millimeters also
669.66 -> for the very first time in a Toyota you
671.279 -> get a power ticket and that opens up to
674.22 -> reveal the biggest factor that we all
676.86 -> love that I know a big and large boot
679.019 -> space by the way did I mention uh the
680.82 -> window blinds here for the rear window
683.66 -> large cargo loading space thousand
686.04 -> liters well 991 liters is what Ripple
688.26 -> yes time up time up okay quickly okay
693.18 -> that camera does not have the
696.72 -> ah you can't you can't okay
701.82 -> now of course we haven't really shown
703.56 -> you how Adas features work but then to
705.779 -> do that we're gonna have to do another
707.279 -> video dedicated only for the Toyota
709.2 -> safety sense 8-s features on the Innova
711.42 -> High cross for now what do we do now
713.92 -> [Music]
715.279 -> that's enough we have spoken so much we
717.959 -> have talked so much about the high cross
719.519 -> we've blabbered all the time and yet it
721.44 -> feels incompleted like this more to add
724.019 -> all right guys this is my summary my
726.12 -> take on the Innova High cross everything
727.8 -> that the Innova Crysta couldn't do this
729.959 -> one does and so in that very same way
733.019 -> everything that the crystal did the high
735.899 -> cross does it even better thanks a lot
738.12 -> for tuning in you're watching powder if
739.68 -> you're going to be coming back at you
740.82 -> with some competition comparos yes but
742.86 -> before we sign off one final piece of
744.72 -> information by the way here on the grill
746.64 -> you see a lens because of course the car
748.56 -> is equipped with 8000 so you're going to
750.42 -> find lenses all around the car but then
752.459 -> where is the radar
754.86 -> or if you haven't guessed it already
756.839 -> it's placed right behind the Toyota logo
764.68 -> [Music]
