Toyota Innova has been the market leader in its segment since its launch. Toyota launched the Innova Hycross in India back in 2022. It was a brand new product and was completely different from the older Innova Crysta MPV. Toyota realized that there was still demand for the Innova Crysta and decided to re-launch it with a diesel engine. Toyota has now launched a new GX+ variant of the Innova Crysta MPV at Rs 21.39 lakh ex-showroom.
Speaking about the new variant, Sabari Manohar – Vice President, Sales, Service and Used Vehicle Business, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “Since its launch in 2005, the Innova brand has earned an unwavering reputation as a segment leader by setting industry benchmarks.” Synonymous with quality and trust, Innova has served the diverse mobility needs of generations of Indians and continues to maintain the same aspirational value.”
Toyota offers the Innova Crysta GX+ variant in both seven-seater and eight-seater versions. The seven-seater version is priced at Rs 21.39 lakh (ex-showroom) and the 8-seater version is priced at Rs 21.44 lakh (ex-showroom). The GX+ variant lies between the GX and VX variants.
The newly launched GX+ variant is actually Rs 1.40-1.45 lakh more expensive than the regular GX variant. In the GX+ variant, Toyota offers features like a rearview camera, auto-folding ORVMs, diamond-cut alloys, wood trim and premium fabric seats. With this variant, the manufacturer also offers a dashcam.
Toyota offers the Innova Crysta in five color variants. Namely – Super White, Attitude Black Mica, Avant-Garde Bronze Metallic, Platinum White Pearl and Silver Metallic. As we already know, Toyota offers the Innova Crysta only with a diesel engine option.
Offered as a premium MPV, the Toyota Innova Hycross is equipped exclusively with a petrol engine. The Innova Crysta was retained in the market to meet the needs of customers who wanted a reliable diesel engine MPV.
The Innova Crysta continues to draw its power from a 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine that produces 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 343 Nm. It is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Innova Hycross, on the other hand, is optionally available with a 2.0-liter petrol engine. The powerful hybrid version of the MPV uses an electric motor, which, together with the engine, makes the entire system more efficient and economical. The regular petrol version of the Innova Hycross also uses a 2.0-litre NA petrol engine. Both engine options are only available with a CVT transmission.
The price of the Toyota Innova Crysta starts at Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to Rs 26.30 lakh (ex-showroom). The Innova Hycross, on the other hand, has a starting price of Rs 19.77 lakh ex-showroom and goes up to Rs 30.98 lakh ex-showroom. Recently, Toyota launched the GX(O) variant of the Innova Hycross.
Some variants of the Innova Hycross have a long waiting time, forcing people to look for variants with a shorter waiting time. Currently, there is no other car manufacturer in India that offers a product that directly competes with the Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross.
