Toyota has finally launched the petrol variant of its highly-popular MPV, the Innova Crysta. The base model is priced at Rs 13.72 lakh and the top-of-the-line variant is available at Rs 19.62 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Toyota has launched the petrol variants at a perfect time as the 2.0-litre or higher capacity diesel engines are currently banned in Delhi and Kerala.
It is offered in four variants, namely, Zx (7-seater) automatic, Gx (7-8-seater) automatic, Vx (7-seater) manual and Gx (7-8-seater) manual.
Akito Tachibana, managing director of Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) said, “The Innova is an iconic brand and has long established itself as the number 1 MPV in the Indian market. Often referred to as the segment creator, the brand Innova has proved itself again by being the first in the segment to offer a vehicle with a petrol variant.”
Commenting on the introduction, N. Raja, director and senior vice president (sales & marketing), TKM said, “The recently launched Innova Crysta has received an overwhelming response from the market. We are very thankful to our customers who have helped us realise this dream. We are confident that the Innova Crysta petrol will be equally successful in continuing the legacy that the iconic brand Innova has created in the Indian MPV market.”
Besides the introduction of petrol trims, an all-new 2.7-litre Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) petrol engine also debuts in India. The 2.7-litre mill generates a max power of 166PS along with max torque of 245Nm. The vehicle comes with Eco and Power drive modes. The ARAI-certified mileage figures read 10.83kmpl for the automatic version and 9.89kmpl for the manual one.
