unique platform that was designed to develop efficient, global-scale production
and procurement systems. The Innova which started out as the Kijang 39 years
ago has become the Number 1 selling vehicle in its segment, achieving more than
1.6 million sales to date, globally. Innova’s excellent build quality,
durability and reliability are a perfect match to our Indian customers’
lifestyles. Today as we launch the all new Innova Crysta, we are confident that
it will continue the success story that has once shaped the Indian Automotive
Industry and will further delight our customers for years to come”.

Crysta is developed on the concept of ‘Redefined Toughness’. Unparalleled Luxury,

words that describe the Innova Crysta well. Available for the first time with a
6 speed Automatic Transmission, the new Innova Crysta comes with an all new
frame and an all new engine for improved fuel efficiency, good riding comfort
& stress free driving in a noiseless cabin. We believe that the all New
Innova Crysta is all set to create a new benchmark in luxury, comfort and
