While SUVs are increasingly becoming popular in India, the MPV segment has been experiencing a decline in recent years. However, there was an MPV that managed to maintain its popularity and sales figures, the Toyota Innova Crysta. However, Toyota had to temporarily halt bookings for the diesel variants of Innova Crysta due to high demand for this MPV. Now, Toyota has re-launched the Innova Crysta for 2023 but it’s only available in diesel iteration. As per dealers, the price range starts from ₹19.13 Lakhs Ex-showroom which is dearer than its sibling, the Hycross by ₹58,000/-
On the exterior front, the Toyota Innova Crysta boasts a new massive black grille that comes with chrome surrounds, Trapezoidal Fog Lamps, and skid plates to accentuate its sporty appeal. Additionally, the car now features all-new diamond-cut alloys with larger tires, giving it a more robust look. Meanwhile, the rear design remains unchanged. As you step inside the Innova Crysta, you’ll be greeted with a dark interior complemented by wood accents on the dashboard, light brown leather upholstery, and various upgrades.
On the safety front, the Innova Crysta is equipped with 3 airbags, ABS, EBD, and BA. However, the top variants of the car come with additional safety features like Traction Control System, 7 airbags, and Hill Hold Function, ensuring maximum safety for both the driver and passengers. Other features comprise a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes with connectivity features such as Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and more. Furthermore, the car features an air purifier and a 360-degree parking camera, enhancing the driver’s comfort and convenience.
Under the hood, the Toyota Innova Crysta is exclusively available with a diesel engine option that is compliant with the latest BS6 phase-2 emission norms. The car is powered by a reliable and proven diesel engine that has been tried and tested over time. The most popular engine variant is the 2.4 L 2GD-FTV Turbo diesel engine, which generates an impressive 148hp and 343nm of output. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, providing the driver with a smooth and effortless driving experience.
