The monocoque construction of the Hycross affects its durability for the better or worse, compared to the Crysta?
31 December 2024 06:24
It's a trade-off. The Hycross will be tougher in crashes and display better long term structural integrity. For sure, the Crysta's design was better than the Innova for off road use (or really bad roads).
Does the Hycross’s ADAS system really help in Indian traffic conditions?
31 December 2024 06:24
I’ve found that the ADAS is more useful than I thought it would be. It's not Indian conditions, you can't perfect it, but it's good for an extra layer of safety, most especially for the less experienced drivers.
How do you find long highway trips in Hycross as compared to Crysta?
31 December 2024 06:24
It's a trade-off. A better comfortable and more efficient car than the Crysta, but there is no Oomph when it comes to pulling power. In the Highway Cruising case, the Hycross wins. I’ll still go for the Crysta for heavy loads or mountainous terrain.
With a lack of diesel option, does the Hycross get itself branded as a deal breaker?
31 December 2024 06:24
Where there is no diesel, it is a big problem for taxi operators or people who tow often. As such, the hybrid system simply doesn't have anywhere near the amount of low end grunt both the Motor Trend and EVO guys are so obsessed with.
Is Toyota’s tax on the Innova Hycross justified?
31 December 2024 06:24
It's your priorities. If you are looking to own a vehicle that you won’t sell and spend a lot of time on the road, the Toyota tax is definitely worth it. If you’re after the latest features or performance, there are better options.
How does driving the Innova Crysta compare, when compared to Sedan SUV’s in the same price bracket.
31 December 2024 06:16
There is no comparison for the Innova's ride quality. Sure it might look cool in SUVs for someone, but when it comes to an Innova on a rough road its comfort, dull as it might be will always surprise you.
As fuel prices go up, is the Innova Crysta's fuel efficiency a cause for worry?
31 December 2024 06:16
What it lacks in fuel efficiency, it makes up for with heavy load carrying. It’s worth it if you’re someone who travels with a full car every now and then.
Is the Innova Crysta expensive for what it is?
31 December 2024 06:16
It's not just about features. Build quality and ride comfort is justified by the price of Innova. They aren't fancy gadgets but they make me feel solid and safe, which feels more important than anything else.
What makes the Innova Crysta more luxurious and more comfortable than the Kia Carnival?
31 December 2024 06:16
Innova still wins for me. The Innova might not have some of the fancier features of the Carnival, but when it comes to ride quality on Indian roads the Carnival has no competition.
But is the lack of modern features in the Innova Crysta a deal breaker in 2025?
31 December 2024 06:16
The Innova lacks features that seem disappointing, but its comfort makes up for them. And I would still choose it over it being a feature packed, but way less comfortable alternative.
Is one of the things missing from the Hilux which may put off modern buyers its lack of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)?
31 December 2024 06:10
It's a non-issue. When you remember that most Hilux buyers just want toughness and reliability, and not the latest tech features, it’s no surprise that painting an actual product for a virtual model simply is not a priority.
How does the Hilux’s image as a 'technical' in conflict zones play out?
31 December 2024 06:10
How people us it isn't the fault of the truck. This is no different to that, the Hilux is just a tool and reliability is a virtue regardless of the application.
It’s said that the Toyota Hilux is literally indestructible but is this really true?
31 December 2024 06:10
Depends on the generation. Once, the older models were absolute tanks, newer ones have sacrificed a bit of durability for the benefit of comfort and emissions compliance.
How has the Hilux globally become so popular that it hasn’t made its way to Toyota’s US market yet?
31 December 2024 06:10
Toyota doesn't want to take strength from Tacoma sales. Why does Toyota need another product competing in the US market already served by the Tacoma?
Why has the Hilux continued to sell well in developing nations despite a hail of negative press?
31 December 2024 06:10
Repairability is the design priority. The most important thing is that you can fix most issues with basic tools as most such areas don’t have an advanced service center.
Is the hassle worth it importing a JDM HiAce over buying a domestic van?
30 December 2024 12:29
Totally worth it! And the JDM models have some awesome features that you just can’t get domestically. Plus, they're just cooler.
How does the HiAce perform as an everyday driver in urban situations?
30 December 2024 12:29
As a tradesman, it's perfect. I have the city down and can get around, and I always have my tools on me. Nothing else I'd trade it for.
Are Hiace vans a good platform for camper conversions?
30 December 2024 12:29
They’re great for weekend trips, but I wouldn’t want to live in one full time. There is not enough width compared to some other vans.
Off road or rough terrain conditions, how do HiAce vans perform?
30 December 2024 12:29
I think they are more capable than what people give them credit for, but they are no Land Cruiser. If you know its limits, you will be fine.
The Toyota HiAce; is it really as bulletproof as people say?
30 December 2024 12:29
I'm a mechanic and as such I can attest that HiAces are one of the most reliable vans I work on. They’re not immune to problems, particularly if they are neglected.
