Toyota Innova Crysta

Exterior

Although the Crysta has a typical MPV silhouette, it definitely looks sharper and nicer than before. The massive grille up-front is a new addition with the 2020 facelift. Flanked by the grille is a pair of LED and projector headlamps that look like the edges of a samurai sword. The bonnet has raised definitions on both sides, and the side profile remains tidy, with a definition for the rear wheel arches that house snazzy diamond-cut alloy wheels. At the rear, the upside-down L-shaped tail lamps look very stylish.

Variants

The Toyota Innova Crysta variants are as follows: G, G+, GX, VX, and ZX. It continues to be a feature-packed MPV featuring all the necessary bells and whistles. With the 2020 facelift update, the top-spec variant gets front parking sensors, LED headlamps, a new Smart Playcast touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity as standard. It still, however, misses out on an all-important sunroof.

Interior

Space has always been the Innova's forte, and the Crysta is no exception. The seats up-front are wide and supportive; the second row of seats are comfortable too but are not electrically adjustable. However, the seats do slide forward and backward and recline as well. There are also fold-out tables behind the front seats, and the second row can also fold down for access to the rear-most row. This particular row is best used by adults with a small frame or children. For a third occupant, there's even a seat belt that springs from the roof. Luggage space isn't a hassle either, with the third row of seats up.

You also get a lot of cubbyholes around and two gloveboxes in the dashboard. The dashboard looks premium with that strip of silver across it. Also, the leather and wood-trim steering looks posh and has a lot of controls on it. On the roof, you will find white LED ambient lighting. There are also air-con vents for the second and third rows. An overall look at the lounge-like interior justifies the substantial bump in Toyota Innova Crysta on-road price over the model it replaces.
