Toyota Kirloskar Motor has introduced a new
base-level trim of the Innova Crysta. Dubbed 'G Plus', the new variant of the
company's best-selling model, which has a monthly sales average of 6,352
units*, is priced at INR 15,57,000** (7 seater)/INR 15,62,000** (8 seater).
The introduction of the new entry-level trim is the
second recent revision for the Toyota Innova Crysta, following the update to
the features list in September last year. The new no-frills grade should be available
with halogen headlamps, manual aircon and fabric upholstery. The safety suite
will comprise dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and seat
belt reminder (SBR). Toyota Kirloskar Motor is yet to update its website with
all the details.
The Toyota Innova Crysta in the new level
configuration (2.4 G Plus MT, 7 seater) is INR 38,000 cheaper than in the
previous entry-level configuration (2.4 GX MT, 7 seater). The 8 seater commands
a premium of INR 5,000 in the G Plus grade, which could have been introduced to
prevent the Mahindra Marazzo (INR 9.99-14.38 lakh**) from adversely affecting
the popularity of the Toyota Innova Crysta.
Previously, the Toyota Innova Crysta was available
in four trim levels - GX, VX, ZX, and Touring Sport. In all, there are three
engine variants on offer - a 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV four-cylinder diesel that
produces 150 PS/343 Nm, 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV diesel that offers 174 PS/360 Nm, and
a 2.7-litre 2TR-FE four-cylinder petrol that offers 166 PS/245 Nm. The G Plus
grade is available exclusively with the 2.4-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine
mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
