The interior has been completely changed in the new Innova compared to the old one. The most significant change is the free-standing touchscreen and the AC vents below it. The Crysta gets a touchscreen in the dashboard’s centre, flanked by the AC vents. The gear lever is integrated into the dashboard in the Highcross, getting an analogue and a digital instrument cluster. While the gear lever was placed on the floor in Innova Crysta, and an analog instrument cluster was available.
The Hycross gets a new type of steering wheel, completely different from the Crysta. Another significant difference is the panoramic sunroof found on the Highcross. The Hycross and Crysta get AC vents for the rear passenger seat, though they are window mounted in the Highcross and roof-mounted in the Crysta.
