Currently, Toyota Innova HyCross has the longest waiting period among all Toyota cars. While the petrol-only version can be expected for delivery within seven months after placing order, the hybrid version of the new generation MPV takes much longer. According to the official website of the carmaker, the waiting period for Innova HyCross hybrid can stretch up to 26 months, or more than two yers. The carmaker has already stopped taking bookings for the ZX and ZX(O) variants of the MPV.

The Innova Crysta MPV has comparatively shorter waiting period of up to six months. The Fortuner SUV has a waiting period of up to three months.
