Toyota has updated the Innova Crysta and Fortuner with new features as reported earlier this month. The updated Toyota Innova and updated Toyota Fortuner also bring with them a hike in prices, thanks to the GST rate revisions.
Both Toyota Innova and Toyota Fortuner now come with engine stop/start function. This feature, similar to Mahindra's 'Micro-Hybrid' and also present on Maruti's SHVS models, turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete halt. The engine comes back to life when the driver lifts his/her foot off the brakes. The fuel-saving system is available only in the automatic transmission variants of the MPV and SUV.
The Toyota Innova Crysta has regained the 17-inch alloy wheels on the top end ZX trim accompanied by tyres with a stiffer sidewall. Toyota had discontinued the 17-inch rims in the ZX trim earlier this year after customers complained of tyre damage under heavy load, and had switched to 16-inch rims. The base GX trim of the Innova Crysta has gained driver seat height adjust, rear centre armrest and rear air conditioning. The mid-level VX grade now comes with GPS navigation, and door ajar warning is now a standard feature across the range.
