Toyota have started testing the next-gen Innova Crysta in India. Toyota India have trademarked the new ‘Innova Hycross’ name that is likely to sit on the next-gen Innova. Reports suggest that the 2023 Innova Crysta will be offered with petrol and petrol-hybrid powertrains.

Toyota Innova Crysta is likely to receive its third generation change sometime next year. The new-gen Innova Crysta will get an updated design with a familiar silhouette. The spy shots of the 2023 Innova Crysta reveal a big glass area, bigger alloy wheels and sleek tail lights. At the back, it gets typical Innova design traits like a flat tailgate and large rear windscreen.

A few reports suggest that the 2023 Innova will ditch the current ladder-on-frame chassis for a unibody design. In addition to that, the 2023 Innova Crysta is also likely to switch to a front-wheel-drive setup. We can also see a twist-beam rear suspension in the test car, which is uncommon in cars with a rear-wheel-drive setup.

While Toyota India currently offer the Innova Crysta with a 2.7L normal petrol and a 2.4L turbo diesel engine, the 2023 model, is expected to be offered only with petrol and petrol-hybrid powertrains. For those looking for low running costs, Toyota may also offer a CNG option as the same has been caught on test multiple times.

Toyota India are likely to launch the next-gen Innova Crysta in 2023. It will slot in between the Kia Carens and the Kia Carnival. The Innova Crysta has never had a direct segment rival, but from the pricing point of view, the next-gen Innova Crysta could go up against the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Mahindra XUV700.
