The Toyota Innova Crysta, a popular choice for both fleet operators and private buyers, continues to be a mainstay in the MPV market even after the launch of the Toyota Hycross in 2022. The Innova Crysta's robust diesel powertrain and spacious interior make it a favored model, but the good news for potential buyers is that the waiting period for this highly sought-after MPV has significantly reduced.
Reduction in Waiting Period
As per Toyota’s official update in November 2024, the waiting period for the Innova Crysta now stands between 2-3 months, a significant improvement from five months earlier this year in July.
While lower variants of the Innova Crysta are now available with a waiting period of just two months, the mid-spec Innova Crysta GX+ variant, which was launched in May 2024, sees a slightly longer waiting period of three months.
The GX+ variant has grown increasingly popular due to its added features, which include a reverse camera, auto-fold mirrors, dash cam, diamond-cut alloy wheels, wooden panels, and premium fabric seats. These upgrades have made the GX+ trim a hit with both fleet operators and private buyers alike. The top-spec Innova Crysta ZX variant also carries a similar waiting period, ensuring that demand remains strong for the higher trims as well.
In fact, some dealerships report that the Innova Crysta is available in under a month, depending on inventory levels at local outlets.
Powertrain and Pricing
The Toyota Innova Crysta remains a diesel-manual model with a reliable 2.4-litre engine that produces 150hp and 343Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, ensuring a smooth yet powerful driving experience. The price of the Innova Crysta ranges from ₹19.99 lakh to ₹26.55 lakh (ex-showroom, India), depending on the variant chosen.
Competition in the Market
The Toyota Innova Crysta continues to compete against smaller MPVs like the Maruti Ertiga, Kia Carens, and Maruti XL6, but it remains a preferred choice for those looking for a more spacious and feature-rich MPV with a trusted diesel engine. With the reduced waiting period and its proven track record, the Innova Crysta remains a strong contender in its segment.
Conclusion
The Toyota Innova Crysta’s reduced waiting period is a welcome update for customers, especially for those who had previously faced long waiting times. With the GX+ variant’s growing popularity due to its premium features and the overall dependability of the Innova Crysta, it continues to be a top choice in the competitive MPV market.
