InnoVa Crysta is one gadget that many Indian families as well as organizations have generally turned to when buying a vehicle for long separation travel because it offers a delicate ride, extensive inside and a dependable diesel motor. But the new Hycross has brought big changes to the formula. Moving away from the body on frame rear wheel drive diesel layout, it transitions to front wheel drive, a monocoque construction and hybrid powertrain. Given this significant change of architecture and power train, we wondered how the Hycross would fare over a full tank on an extended highway drive relative to its predecessor. Ride comfort, handling, fuel efficiency, as well as stability at highway drving conditions are the points of comparison between the two models. That's a whole separate debate, which centers around that balance: Can the Hycross hold a candle to the Crysta's reputation as a highway cruiser, despite the entirely different approach to design and engineering?
