Toyota has relaunched the Innova Crysta with prices starting at Rs 19.13 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It is offered in G, GX, VX and the top-spec ZX trims, and gets a slightly refreshed front fascia as part of the update. As we reported earlier, it will be sold alongside the newly launched Innova Hycross.
- Crysta will be sold alongside Hycross
- Will only get a 2.4-litre diesel engine
- Top-spec ZX variant only gets 7 seats
2023 Toyota Innova Crysta: price
The prices for the 2023 Toyota Innova Crysta range from Rs 19.13 lakh for the base G variant with 7 seats and goes all the way up to Rs 20.09 lakh for the GX variant with 7 seats. Prices for the top-spec ZX trim are yet to be announced. Here is a detailed break-up of the prices of the Innova Crysta:
The Innova Crysta will be available to private buyers, corporate buyers as well as tourist taxi operators. However, the taxi operators will pay the least registration fees compared to others, making it more affordable to them. For example, in Mumbai, taxi operators will have to pay around Rs 18,000 as road tax, whereas private and corporate buyers will have to shell out upwards of Rs 2.75 lakh as road tax. This is the case because taxi operators pay around 2 percent of the vehicle amount as road tax, whereas private buyers and corporate buyers pay more than 10 percent as road tax.
2023 Toyota Innova Crysta: powertrain
Late last year, Toyota silently phased out the 2.4-litre diesel engine in the Innova Crysta, and sold it only with the 2.7-litre petrol engine before discontinuing the MPV completely. Now, the diesel engine makes a comeback in the relaunched Crysta, and it is mated to a manual gearbox.
This will be the first time Toyota will sell two Innova models together. However, there are clear differences between the two as the Crysta gets only a diesel engine, while the Hycross gets petrol and petrol-hybrid powertrains.
2023 Toyota Innova Crysta: exterior design
While the new Crysta may look unchanged at first glance, Toyota has made subtle changes to the front fascia. These include a slightly smaller yet prominent front grille, redesigned bumper and new fog lamp housing. However, in profile, and at the back, Toyota has not changed the design of the popular MPV.
2023 Toyota Innova Crysta: interior and features
Of the four trims, the ZX is the only one which comes with a 7-seat configuration exclusively, while the others are available as both 7- and 8 seaters.
The Crysta comes with features such as powered driver seat adjustment, multi-zone climate control, picnic tables for second row, leather seats in higher variants, ambient lighting and one-touch tumble for the second row. It also gets an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
For safety, the Crysta gets seven airbags, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control and hill-start assist. All Crystas will now come with three-point seatbelts as standard for all passengers.
