Toyota had already confirmed that it’ll be updating its larger diesel powertrains along with the petrol engines to meet the upcoming BS6 emission norms. The first big model with the updated engines is the Innova Crysta MPV.

The Innova Crysta is offered with a 2.7-litre petrol engine and a 2.4-litre diesel engine with both manual and automatic variants. Toyota has discontinued the more powerful 2.8-litre diesel-AT powertrain for the BS6 Innova Crysta. The updated Innova Crysta will also be equipped with features like vehicle stability control, hill assist control, and emergency brake signal as standard.

These are the ex-showroom Delhi prices for the BS6 Innova Crysta models:

The price increase for the diesel-automatic option in the GX and ZX variants is comparatively less than the manual variants. This is because these were previously offered with the larger 2.8-litre diesel engine as opposed to the 2.4-litre diesel engine. There is also a new base-spec variant for the BS6 diesel Innova Crysta which makes the entry-level diesel pricier by only Rs 47,000 instead of Rs 1.12 lakh.

Toyota has also informed that bookings are open and a celebratory price can be availed at dealerships for a limited period. The BS6 models are scheduled to begin rolling out in February 2020.

The Innova Crysta has no direct rivals but it competes against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Tata Hexa and Mahindra Marazzo in the MPV segment. It will also face competition from upcoming models like the Tata Gravitas and the 7-seater MG Hector.
