New Delhi: The Innova Crysta is now back in India and after its diesel engine being shelved for a while, the most popular variant of the Innova Crysta has been relaunched.

The new Innova Crysta gets a tweaked front end design with a chrome laden face while the equipment list now includes 7 airbags,  front and Rear Parking Sensors, Vehicle Stability Control and Hill-Start Assist Control, Rear Auto AC with Digital Display, 8-Way Power Adjust Driver Seat, Smart Entry System, Seat Back Table, TFT MID with detailed Drive Information, Leather Seat Color Options( Black & Camel Tan), Ambient illumination and One Touch Tumble Second Row Seats.

There is an 8-inch touchscreen audio with Android Auto/Apple Carplay too.

As far as the engine is concerned the 2.4l diesel now comes with a manual gearbox while getting power and eco modes too.

The new Innova Crysta diesel comes in four grades G, GX, VX & ZX and in five colors – White Pearl Crystal Shine, Superwhite, Silver, Attitude Black and Avant Garde Bronze.

Available in 7 and 8 seater form, the Innova Crysta diesel is expected with a more premium price tag but it will be more affordable over the Innova Hycross which is the hybrid new generation model.

The Innova Crysta diesel will appeal to fleet operators with the diesel bringing low running costs while the Hycross will be a more luxurious offering aimed at self driven or chauffeured owners. The Innova Crysta petrol is discontinued and the Crysta is now a diesel only model.

The question is whether you should buy the new Innova Hycross or the Crysta with the hybrid powertrain matching the running costs of the diesel with greater efficiency. Well, there is still demand for diesel cars and many like the torque of a diesel which the Crysta has. With two Innova's now, Toyota wants to appeal to a wider audience while not alienating the traditional clienete which has loved the Innova diesel.
