Unlike its sibling, the Hycross will skip the conventional ladder frame construction, in favour of the TNGA-C architecture, lighter and agile monocoque construction. Codenamed 560B, the MPV will make use of a new 2.0-litre petrol engine paired to a heavily localised dual motor strong hybrid setup and the diesel will be given a miss. The strong hybrid system will enable the Hycross to return better low-end torque which gives it diesel engine like characteristic. It also expected to come with a car like front wheel drive system.
