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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
