Currently, Toyota has just one MPV in its portfolio, the Innova Crysta, which is priced from 14.93 lakh to Rs 22.43 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The XL6, which is a six-seater MPV, will allow Toyota to compete in a lower segment as the Maruti offering is priced from Rs 9.8 lakh to Rs 11.46 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
