The full story
Moving up costs you ₹5,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹18.75L for the G-SLF 8S against ₹18.70L for the G-SLF 7S.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the G-SLF 8S opens up no engine the G-SLF 7S cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
It is not all one way: the G-SLF 8S gives up second-row captain seats and rear centre armrest with cupholders.
G-SLF 7S or G-SLF 8S, and what each costs
Where you start
G-SLF 7S
₹18.70L ex-showroom Delhi
The fleet special, and it says so: an 80 km/h speed limiter, no touchscreen and no rear camera. Built for taxi duty, not for your driveway.

The step up
G-SLF 8S
₹18.75L ex-showroom Delhi
The same fleet spec with a bench for eight and one seat belt more. The 80 km/h limiter stays, so private buyers should look one step up.

Our take
Everything the pricier one offers, and ₹5,000 kept
Save your money: the Toyota Innova Hycross G-SLF 7S does everything the pricier one does.
What G-SLF 7S to G-SLF 8S costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹5,250 to ₹5,994 on the road, against the ₹5,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹5,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹744 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹744, and both be right.
What the G-SLF 8S adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the G-SLF 7S cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
And what it gives up
- Rear centre armrest with cupholders
