Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), a pillar of the automotive industry within the Indian market, recently implemented a significant price rise for its prevalent multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the Innova Crysta. Observing a hike of up to Rs 37,000, the cost adjustment varies depending on the variant chosen. The Innova Crysta’s reputation for dependability and resilience continues to endear it to a substantial customer base of families and commercial taxi services.
The base GX model retains its price point at Rs 19.99 lakh, remaining unaffected by the change. With a Rs 35,000 surge, the mid-tier VX models now cost Rs 24.44 lakh. Simultaneously, the superior ZX version’s cost soars from Rs 25.68 lakh to Rs 26.05 lakh, with an increment of Rs 37,000. All these numbers correspond to ex-showroom prices.
Powering the 2023 Innova Crysta is a formidable 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. Echoing its dedication to environmental responsibility, Toyota transformed this engine to conform to RDE and BS6 Phase 2 emission norms earlier this year. With a color palette that includes Silver, Superwhite, Attitude Black, White Pearl Crystal Shine, and Avant-Garde Bronze, this vehicle showcases a maximum torque of 360Nm and a maximum power of 148bhp.
Visual alterations grace the 2023 Innova Crysta, most discernible at the front end. Distinctive updates encompass a squarer grille, a modified bumper design, and the inclusion of extra chrome accents. Despite these changes, the classic silhouette of the Innova Crysta remains intact. Alloy wheels of 16-inch single-tone adorn the mid-level variant, with 17-inch five-split-spoke dual-tone options gracing the top-spec model.
Luxury meets functionality inside the 2023 Innova Crysta, exhibiting an extensive array of additions, including ambient lighting, one-touch second-row tumble, motorized driver seat adjustment, and multi-zone climate control. Technologically advanced features include an 8-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless integration for smartphone users. To bolster safety, the vehicle comes equipped with seven airbags, electronic stability control, parking sensors at the front and rear, and a hill-start assist feature. Three-point seatbelts remain standard for all passengers across all trims.
This substantial price hike reflects Toyota’s dedication to evolving emission regulations, improved safety measures, and providing supreme comfort to customers. Despite the cost increase, the 2023 Innova Crysta continues to amalgamate a comprehensive set of features with improved aesthetics, poised to sustain its status as a favored choice for Indian families and commercial operators.
