Toyota believes in implementing diverse solutions to reduce carbon emissions as soon as possible, and their approaches must fit the infrastructure and culture of each region.

Hence, at the exhibition, the Beyond Zero message was conveyed through an impressive range of green products: the launch of the new Camry generation with two Hybrid versions; the display of four advanced Hybrid models – Yaris Cross Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Innova Cross Hybrid, and Alphard Hybrid; and the presence of the pure electric concept car FT-3e and the new Land Cruiser Prado with Euro 5 emission standards.
Alongside the new Camry Hybrid and Prado, the Innova Cross Hybrid, introduced in October 2023, continues to generate buzz. At VMS 2024, numerous customers made deposits, with many more awaiting their turn to purchase this family-oriented 7-seater MPV.

As the best-selling Hybrid in the market, with 1,304 units sold in the first nine months of 2024, the Innova Cross Hybrid received positive feedback from exhibition attendees. Mr. Vo Trong Vu Khanh from Ho Chi Minh City, examined the Innova Cross meticulously, sharing, “I’ve made a deposit and am waiting for early next month to take delivery of the car. The car combines the advantages of a pure electric car, such as smooth and quiet acceleration and fast startup without noise, with the convenience of a gasoline car as it doesn’t require charging. It’s both economical and practical, and being a strong brand, I think this model should be promoted further.”

Mr. Trung Thang, a visitor from Binh Duong who attended the exhibition at SECC Q7, enthusiastically shared his thoughts on the Innova Cross Hybrid: “My friend invited me to come and see the exhibition, and I fell in love with the Innova Cross hybrid. It has everything I need, and it’s perfect for my taste. The price is not too high, and the interior is spacious for my family. It has all the latest safety features, it’s fuel-efficient, and it’s so convenient. I’m thinking of buying this car for my family to travel and explore, and I can’t wait.”
