Toyota Innova Crysta spied on Indian roads for the first time

Launch rumored to take place in mid-2016.

Ahead of its rumored launch in mid-2016, Team-BHP reader Parthasarathig has photographed a couple of Toyota Innova Crystas testing on Indian roads for the first time without any disguise.

Unveiled at the Auto Expo 2016, the Innova Crysta is the second generation of the regular Toyota Innova, which has its production discontinued. Bookings for Innova Crysta are being unofficially taken at several dealerships for INR 50,000, and are promising its delivery in May 2016.

The Innova Crysta will be one of the most feature-packed MPVs in the market, when it launches this year. It measures 4,735 mm long, 1,830 mm wide and 1,795 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2,750 mm. Compared to the first gen Innova, it has grown by 150 mm in length, 70 mm in width and 35 mm in height, although the wheelbase is identical.
