Toyota Innova Crysta launched, starts at Rs 13.83 lac

After a decade of being the default choice for an MPV in India, the Innova finally gets a significant update. Now going by the name “Innova Crysta”, it comes with two engine options — a 2.8l and a 2.4l diesel engine. Toyota says that the Innova Crysta is based on a totally new frame.

The 2.8l diesel engine is only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift. It delivers 167 hp, 360 Nm of torque and a mileage of 14.29 Kmpl while the 2.4l diesel engine gets a 5-speed manual transmission, and delivers 148hp, 343Nm of torque and a mileage of 15.10 Kmpl.

Exterior changes go some way beyond a minor facelift, with the Innova Crysta getting a new grille, automatic LED projector headlamps, front fog lamps, 17” and 16” alloy wheels, a smart entry system with push-start/stop. There’s also a “3D Design Combination Meter” with a 4.2″ TFT Multi Information display that allows you to access the infotainment system, navigation and warnings.

Toyota is taking safety seriously in the Crysta. All variants come with three airbags, ABS, Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) & Brake Assist (BA), height-adjustable seatbelts with pre-tensioner & force limiter (PT/FL) for the front seat, 3-point seatbelts for all occupants, a child restraint system (ISOFIX) and park-assist. In addition, the ZX variant (AT/MT) has additional features including seven airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Hill-start Assist Control (HAC).

The Innova Crysta provides two drive modes: Eco and Power and is available in Garnet Red, White Pearl Crystal Shine and Avant-garde Bronze.
