Toyota Innova Crysta waiting period extends to 9 months

The Toyota Innova Crysta, which was reintroduced earlier this year, still commands a waiting period of up to nine months at most locations. Now available as a diesel-manual and in four variants only, the MPV still remains a favourite among private and commercial buyers.

Toyota Innova Crysta waiting period, delivery details

The Toyota Innova Crysta was reintroduced in March this year, and in the January-June 2023 period, 14,900 units were sold, which averages to around 2,500 units a month. With the 2023 update, Toyota introduced the BS6 Stage 2-compliant engine and discontinued the diesel-automatic option on the Crysta in order to direct private buyers towards the newer and more advanced automatic-only Innova Hycross. Dealer sources tell us that while a handful of customers have moved to the Hycross since this development, a majority of buyers, especially those who are chauffeur-driven, still prefer the Crysta, which essentially is a seven-year-old vehicle.

Also, while the more fuel-efficient Innova Hycross petrol-hybrid has found its place in the fleet market, the Innova Crysta continues to be one of the favourites. In order to reduce the high order backlog, Toyota added a third shift at its manufacturing plant, which, according to dealers, has helped them deliver more cars than before.
