Toyota India has recently stopped bookings for the diesel variants of Innova Crysta. Toyota India’s official website had removed the option of booking the diesel Innova Crysta online and many dealerships also stopped accepting bookings. This led to rumors and many speculated that the diesel Innova Crysta was discontinued as well. Now, Toyota has released an official statement regarding the same.
“The Toyota Innova, TKM’s flagship offering in India has come a long way ever since its introduction in 2005. Having created a niche of its own, the versatile segment leading Innova has always remained a notch above when compared to other models in the segment. Over the years, the vehicle has undergone several enhancements be it luxury, comfort or performance features , in order to meet the ever-changing needs of the Indian customers. Similarly, the second generation Innova Crysta, continues to win customer hearts , being a segment leader itself. Having found its home in close to 1 million households in India the brand Innova has become synonymous to Quality, Durability & Reliability and is widely preferred by customers from both personal & commercial segments.
However, due to very high demand pattern which has resulted in an increased waiting period for the diesel variant of Innova Crysta, TKM has decided to temporarily stop taking orders for the diesel variant. As a customer centric company, we are making efforts to supply the vehicles to customers who have already made bookings with our dealers. However, we will continue to take order for Petrol variant of Innova Crysta”, Toyota said in a statement. This comes as a releif for potential customers and Toyota should begin accepting bookings soon when the pending orders are completed.

It offers both transmission options, a five-speed manual unit, and a six-speed automatic unit. The currently available Petrol variant gets the power from a 2.7-liter petrol engine producing 164 bhp and 245 nm of torque. While the transmission options here are the same as the diesel, a five-speed manual unit, and a six-speed automatic unit.
