• Selected merchants accept informal bookings at Rs 1 lakh
• The Innova Crysta Facelift has features upgrades to the exterior and interior.
• It is likely to work on the same 2.7-liter petrol engines and 2.4-liter diesel engines as the current model.
• It is likely that feature additions will include a new system with a larger touch screen and an air purifier.
Toyota launched the Innova Crysta Facelift with Indonesian specifications in October 2020. It is expected to arrive in India in the first week of December. The selected merchants are now starting informal bookings for pre-launch for Rs 1 lakh.
It is possible that the Indonesian specification form will arrive here. It has a gloss black front grille with a chrome trim flanked by the LED headlights. Toyota has also fixed the front bumper, and now it has vertically stacked turn signals and round LED fog lights. Other exterior changes include dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels (17-inch for Venturer variant) and a thick black stripe connecting the LED taillights.
Changes to the cabin include a new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a redesigned instrument cluster, and an all-black cockpit. Unlike the Indonesian Innova Crysta Facelift, the Indian spec model is expected to come with a lighter interior appearance. The facelifted Innova Crysta will likely carry features such as cruise control, keyless entry, and seven airbags.

The facelifted MPV engine is likely to run on the same engines as the current model: 2.4-liter diesel (150 HP / 360 Nm) and 2.7-liter petrol (166 hp / 245 Nm). Both are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and offer a 6-speed torque converter unit as an option.
Our dealer sources revealed that the Innova Crysta Facelift is likely to generate a premium of Rs 50,000 over the current model, which is priced from Rs 15.66 lakh to Rs 23.63 lakh (ex-Showroom, Delhi). It will continue to compete with others like Mahindra Marazzo and Kia Carnival.
