As the company is opting to end the production, now the old generation Innova will not be sold with the new Innova Crysta. It has been a remarkable journey for the Innova model in the Indian car market. Many carmakers are still unable to beat the legacy of Toyota Innova. All that other carmakers managed was to make difference with the pricing and some add-ons. The second generation Toyota Innova Crysta is all set to make entry in the Indian market by the mid of this year. Toyota promises to deliver customer satisfaction at its best with improved aesthetics, comfort level, latest features, and fuel economy.
