2016 Toyota Innova Crysta
The 2016 Toyota Innova Crysta made
Indian debut at the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo in February. The second generation
MPV is likely to be rolled out of production lines from Toyota’s Karnataka
plant in the second half of 2016.
The 2016 Toyota Innova Crysta measures
about 4,735 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width, 1,795 mm in height and 2,750 mm in
wheelbase. The front fascia obtains a huge two-slat hexagonal chrome grille and
integrated projector headlamps with LED daytime-running lights. The reworked
front bumper makes way for a single cluster of fog lamps and turn indicators in
a completely new design. The rear of the MPV houses larger split tail lamps, an
integrated LED brake lights on the spoiler, revised quarter glass panel and
side profile with 16 or 17 inch alloy wheels. Six colour options to be
available are Super White, Alumina Jade, Avant Grande Bronze, Attitude Black,
Siver Metallic and Dark Gray Mica Metallic.
The interiors of the 2016 Toyota Innova
Crysta is closely aligned to that of the new Fortuner’s dashboard with
instrument panel getting a blue ambient light alongside wooden touches and
steering mounted buttons feature on the top-end variants. Seven-inch
infotainment system with voice commands and Bluetooth connectivity, dual-tone
interior with silver accents, 16-inch alloy wheels and rank and reach
adjustable steering comes as standard. Other features on middle and top
variants are eight-inch entertainment system, 17-inch alloy wheels, curtain
airbags, LED projector lamps, wood-finish on panels, smart entry and push-start
button, automatic climate control, ambient LED lighting, etc.
Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability
Control and curtain airbags can be found on “Q” top end whilst ABS, EBD,
anti-theft system, door ajar warning, rear parking sensors, dual front airbags
and driver knee airbag come as standard features.
Under the bonnet, a brand new ‘GD’
series diesel engine paired to five-speed manual and six-speed automatic
transmissions propels the five-door MPV. However, Toyota will continue to offer
its 2.0-litre and 2.7-litre VVT-i petrol engines for selected markets.
The 2.4-liter GD four-cylinder diesel
engine with VNT Intercooler produces 149 PS at 3,400 rpm and 360Nm of torque on
the AT version as well as 342 Nm of torque on the MT variants. The petrol engine
is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with Dual VVT-i producing 139 PS at 5,600 rpm and
183 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm with MT and AT options. The new “GD” engine said
to be 10% more efficient than the existing 2.5 and 3.0-litre diesel models, is
likely to return 11 kmpl on city and 15 kmpl on highways.
Starting from the entry-level ‘G’, mid
variant ‘V’ and top-end ‘Q’, Toyota has equipped them with ABS, EBD and three
airbags (dual front and driver knee) as standard for the Indonesian market with
prices starting from Rs. 13.69 lakh to 20.43 lakh. We expect the 2016 Toyota
Innova Crysta MPV to be priced from Rs. 12.75 lakh and up to Rs.17 lakh.
