Toyota christens next generation Innova as Crysta for Indian market

Content

The next generation Innova for the Indian market scheduled to be unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo will be called the Innova Crysta as per a leaked presentation. This will be the second generation for the Japanese automaker’s ultra-successful MPV and this surname name suggests that the automaker will sell both generations side-by-side.

However, this is not the first time that Toyota has used the Innova Crysta nameplate. It launched a limited edition of the MPV in 2011 with this name. This new generation for the Innova is a major overhaul and includes a revised interior and exterior design, feature list as well as engines and gearboxes. It is also underpinned by a new ladder-on-frame platform.

The new design elements include projector headlamps, alloy wheels, touchscreen infotainment system, multi-zone climate control and leather seats. The engine options are expected to include a 2.4-litre diesel and a 2.0-litre petrol. Both will be offered with a six-speed manual or a six-speed AT.

Given the massive jump that the Innova makes with this generation, we expect the top-spec models to breach the Rs 20 lakh mark. When launched, this new Innova will compete with the likes of the Renault Lodgy and Chevrolet Spin.
