Toyota Innova Crysta: prices vs rivals

The petrol-only Maruti Ertiga and XL6 are priced from Rs 7.69 lakh-10.69 lakh and Rs 9.98 lakh-11.86 lakh, respectively.
Meanwhile, the diesel-only Mahindra Marazzo also undercuts the Innova with prices starting from Rs 12.42 lakh and going up till Rs 14.49 lakh. The more premium Kia Carnival is priced from Rs 25.49 lakh-34.49 lakh. The Innova, though, is expected to see some competition from the upcoming new Kia Carens expected to be priced in the region of Rs 12 lakh-20 lakh.
