Toyota Innova Crysta Facelift Unveiled; India Launch Expected In Early-2021

The Indonesia-spec facelifted Innova, in question, gets an air purifier in addition to several other add-ons

• Innova Crysta facelift gets a mild update to the face and minor changes to the side and rear profile. 

• New colour schemes, touchscreen infotainment unit and air purifier on offer.

• India-spec model will continue with the same 2.7-litre petrol and 2.4-litre diesel engine options.

• India launch expected in early-2021 with prices likely to rise slightly from the current range of Rs 15.66 lakh to Rs 23.63 lakh.

Toyota has launched the facelifted version of the Innova Crysta in the Indonesian market. The Kijang Innova details the changes we can expect from the India-bound model. What are they? Let’s take a look. 

Now, the Indonesia-spec Innova is available in two trim lines: Luxury (G and V) and Venturer. The major changes in the facelifted Innova seem to be concentrated at the front. It gets a glossy black front grille garnished by chrome surrounds that neatly integrate the identical LED headlamps accompanied by new vertically stacked fog lamps that also get LED illumination. The new busier-looking bumper completes the updates to the front. 

Move to the side and you’ll notice new two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels (17-inches for the Venturer variant). The rear is also splashed with black which can be seen around the number plate and also connects the LED tail lamps. 

On the inside, the colour scheme varies among the two variants. The Luxury variants feature a Noble Brown shade while the Venturer gets sportier all-black leatherette seats with contrast red stitching and a darker wood panel on the dashboard. 

The technological updates include a new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment for G while the V gets a 9-inch unit with Miracast and smartphone connectivity options including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Venturer also gets the same unit as V but with additional features and NFC (near field communication). Another addition is an air purifier with air quality indicator and a slightly updated instrument cluster. It must be noted that the Innova still doesn’t feature a sunroof which can be found in similarly priced mid-size SUVs. The safety suite is the same as the predecessor with a rear camera, vehicle stability control, and hill start assist. It also offers front, knee, side and curtain airbags.

The India-spec Innova Crysta facelift is expected to get all the above updates. What’s not expected to be updated are the engines which mean we’ll continue to get the 2.7-litre petrol and 2.4-litre diesel engines. Both are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and offer a 6-speed automatic unit as an option. 

Expect Toyota to bring the Innova Crysta facelift to our shores by early-2021. Its prices are likely to see a slight hike from the current range of Rs 15.66 lakh to Rs 23.63 lakh. It doesn’t have any direct MPV rivals but it serves as an alternative to the Mahindra Marazzo, Kia Carnival, MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Tata Gravitas.
