Here is the introductory brochure of the Toyota Innova Crysta, which is expected to be launched in May 2016.

The 3-page document gives us an idea of some of the features that the vehicle will be equipped with. These features include LED projector headlamps, 7 airbags, vehicle stability control, hill-start assist control, automatic climate control with rear auto AC, 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, one-touch tumble and space-up rear seats, easy-slide front passenger seat, boot lid easy closer, 7-inch touchscreen audio with navigation, ambient lighting and keyless entry & go (start/stop button).

The Innova Crysta will come with a choice of 2.4-litre and 2.8-litre diesel engines with Eco and Power drive modes. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. A petrol engine could be offered as well.

The MPV is likely to come in three trim levels - GX, VX and ZX.

The engine variants of the upcoming Toyota Innova Crysta have been disclosed. The three variants will be similar to those of the old Innova - GX, VX and ZX.

Toyota will bring in its 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV diesel engines to replace the older 2KD-FTV unit. This batch of new engines are claimed to produce greater torque, lesser NOx emissions, and offer better fuel efficiency than the outgoing power plant. These engines use common rail and 16-valve DOHC technology and comply with Euro-5 emission norms.

The 1GD-FTV is a 2,755cc, 4-cylinder engine that produces 174 BHP and 360 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It will be available in the GX and ZX variants of the Innova Crysta. The 2GD-FTV is a 2,393cc, 4-cylinder unit that develops 148 BHP and 343 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and will be available in the GX and VX variants. It is unclear whether or not an automatic transmission will be available with the 2.4-litre engine.

The GX variant gets a low NVH package, while the VX and the ZX variants get a high NVH package, which is expected to lower noise and vibration.

The Innova Crytsa is expected to be launched in India in May 2016.

Toyota is expected to launch the Innova Crysta in India soon. The MPV was displayed at the 2016 Auto Expo in February and Toyota had revealed that it would come with 2.4-litre and 2.8-litre diesel engines, along with a 2.0-litre petrol unit.

The petrol engine for the Innova Crysta will be sourced from Toyota's global operations. However, there are rumours that the company might manufacture the engine in India as well. Later this month, Toyota is planning to brief its Indian vendors about the possibility of manufacturing this engine in the country.

In the years gone by, the Innova was available with a petrol engine. However, Toyota discontinued the engine as the demand was poor. The company has been forced to reconsider a petrol power plant for the car due to the ban on cars with diesel engines larger than 2,000cc in New Delhi.

Toyota took the wraps off the Innova Crysta at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo. The MPV has now been spotted on Indian roads, giving us an idea of how it looks in everyday conditions. The all-new Innova will be sold with 2.4L & 2.8L diesel engines, along with a 2.0L petrol unit. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.

The Innova Crysta is expected to come with more niceties such as leather interiors, ambient lighting, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, automatic climate control and a power adjustable driver seat to give it a more upmarket placement. While these features will appeal to private owners, fleet operators will be waiting to see what the lower grades offer and what prices Toyota will offer them at.

Toyota is likely to launch the Innova Crysta before May this year and though the inclusion of a petrol version may lower the starting price vis-à-vis the previous-gen Innova, overall, the Innova Crysta is expected to be a more expensive offering.

The Toyota Innova has been a prime bread-winner for the Japanese car maker in India, with the MPV finding favour with private owners and fleet operators alike. Toyota officially presented the new-gen Innova as the Innova Crysta at the 2016 Auto Expo. We now have images directly from the production line showing the last unit of the 1st-gen Innova receiving its send off as its production comes to an end.

It is now official that the outgoing Innova, which has been on sale for over a decade, will not be sold alongside the Innova Crysta. The all-new Innova is expected to be launched in India before May 2016. The Innova Crysta will be sold with a 2.4L diesel & a 2.8L diesel, along with a 2.0L petrol. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.

The outgoing Innova has seen a consistent rise in prices and is currently priced at Rs. 11.44 lakh to Rs. 16.73 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), though it doesn't offer much in terms of equipment. The Innova Crysta is expected to come with more niceties such as leather interiors, ambient lighting, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, automatic climate control and a power adjustable driver seat among other features. Safe to say then, that the new Innova Crysta will come with an even more ambitious price tag.

ASEAN NCAP has published the crash test results of the all-new Toyota Innova (Innova Crysta in India). The tests have shown that the MPV scores the full 5-stars when equipped with ESC.

The model tested was powered by a 2.0L petrol engine and tipped the scales at 1,698 kg. The car scored 14.10 points for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), but an ASEAN NCAP prerequisite for a 5-star rating is the presence of Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Only variants with ESC are eligible for a 5-star AOP and those without the feature received a 4-star rating.

In the Child Occupant Protection (COP) test, the Innova achieved 76% compliance, putting it within the 4-star category rating. The model tested had anti-lock brakes and a seatbelt reminder (SBR) for the driver and front passenger. While ESC is optional on the base variant, the higher variants get it as standard. ISOFIX and top tether come as standard in all of the Innova’s variants.

It remains to be seen what features the India-spec Innova Crysta is equipped with. The car displayed at the 2016 Auto Expo came equipped with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, along with pre-tensioner and force limiter equipped front seatbelts. The Innova Crysta will be sold with 2.4L & 2.8L diesel engines. The latter will be available with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Toyota will also be offering the Crysta with a 2.0L petrol engine with the model's launch expected before May, 2016.

Toyota is gearing up to launch the all-new Innova in India this year and it looks like it will be introduced as the Innova Crysta. A teaser image leaked through a presentation shows the new Innova with the word 'Crysta' suffixed to its name, much like the Corolla which is called the Corolla Altis in India.

If the Crysta name sounds familiar, it's because the previous generation Innova was offered in a special edition called the Innova Crysta (based on the top-end VX grade) back in 2011. Only 1,000 units of the limited edition model were made with the feature list including smoked alloy wheels, body graphics, dual-tone leather seat covers, a rear spoiler and dark-wood panel inserts in the interior.

The new Innova petrol gets a dual VVT-i 2.0L engine that makes 137 BHP @ 5,600 rpm and 183 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. The diesel variant gets a GD 2.4L diesel engine with a variable nozzle turbo (VNT) that makes 147 BHP @ 3,400 rpm and 342 Nm of torque @ 1,200 - 2,800 rpm (AT = 360 Nm @ 1,200-2,600 rpm). 

Both engines are 4-cylinder, 16-valve mills, which can be mated with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox. The Innova Crysta will make its debut at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo. It remains to be seen what powertrain options make their way to India.
