Toyota's famed MPV, which first arrived in India in 2005 as replacement for the Qualis, has received a new generation model after over a decade.

Though a handful of competent MPVs/ MUVs have entered the market since the fact, the mighty Toyota Innova has continued to be the segment best-seller.

The Innova Crysta borrows design elements from the Toyota Corolla Altis and Camry.

The MPV sports a larger nose, a frameless front grille with two chrome slats, projector head-lamps with LED daytime running lamps, all-new fog lamps, and a new bumper.

Inside, it gets a 4.2-inch TFT Multi Information Display, 7-inch touchscreen system with DVD player, dedicated AC vents for the second and third row, and 20 bottle holders, etc.

For safety, the Toyota Innova Crysta gets three airbags (front driver, front passenger, and driver knee) and ABS with EBD as a standard provision across all trims. The top-end variant gets 7 airbags, including curtain shield airbags.

The new Toyota Innova is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform - that, according to the Japanese carmaker, is lighter and yet stiffer as compared to the one that underpinned the exiting model.

It is offered with a choice of two diesel engines: the 2.4-litre and the 2.8-litre diesel engines. While the former puts out 147bhp and 343Nm of maximum torque and comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the bigger motor promises 171bhp along with a peak torque of 360Nm and gets a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The on road Delhi price of the vehicle is Rs 15.62 lakh.
