Toyota Innova Crysta Diesel Option Will Become Available Again

The Hycross only comes with petrol and strong-hybrid powertrain options

Toyota has revealed the Innova Hycross for India. It’s likely to be launched in January 2023 with pre-bookings already underway. The carmaker has confirmed that both versions of the Innova will be on sale simultaneously. 

The Crysta will remain accessible to buyers with a limited budget and for mile-munching chauffeur-driven owners. Those wanting a premium experience, can upgrade to the Hycross. 

For the time being, Toyota may rejig the variant list of the Innova Crysta, while orders for the diesel variant have already been suspended since August. Currently, only the petrol variants of the MPV are available on sale. The diesel+rear-wheel drive combination is especially popular among fleet operators and will likely remain affordable in comparison to the new feature-rich Innova Hycross.
