Furthermore, all Toyota models and also offerings from other manufacturers are set to attract a higher on-road price tag starting from September 1, 2018. This is due to the insurance body IRDAI's announcement that makes three-year third-party insurance mandatory for four-wheelers, while two-wheelers will have to have a third-party insurance for a period of five years.
Apart from the feature upgrades, all three models continue with the same mechanicals and are powered by the 2.7-litre petrol engine that produces 164 bhp and 245 Nm of peak torque. The 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel powers both the Innova Crysta and the Fortuner, but is available in a number of outputs ranging from 148 bhp to 175 bhp.
Prices for the 2018 Toyota Innova Crysta now starts at ₹ 14.65 lakh for the base petrol, going up to ₹ 22.06 lakh for the range-topping diesel automatic trim. Prices for the 2018 Toyota Innova Crysta Touring Sport now starts from ₹ 18.59 lakh and goes up to ₹ 23.06 lakh for the top-spec ZX AT variant.
