</p><p>&nbsp; <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Toyota">Toyota</a></u> has launched petrol variants of <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Innova_crysta">Innova Crysta</a></u> starting from Rs. 13.73 lakh to Rs. 19.62 lakh, all prices are ex-showroom Mumbai. This car also happens to be Toyota’s best selling car in India. Despite the NGT induced ban in NCR, Innova Crysta is selling like hot cakes with 7765 units shifted in July'16 alone. This hasn’t stopped Toyota from launching the car with a petrol engine, which certainly should get some more numbers. Retail price gap between petrol and diesel fuels has eroded over a period of time. </p><p>&nbsp; Petrol engine powering Innova Crysta is a 2.7 litre, 4-cylinder engine with Dual VVT-I that develops 164 BHP@4000 RPM and torque of 245 Nm@3800 RPM. Previous generation Innova was also initially available with a 2.0 litre petrol unit, but it was later discontinued thanks to a low demand. This time around, factoring in the diesel ban and different fuel pricing, Innova Crysta petrol should find new homes. </p><p>&nbsp; It's be available in G, V and Z variants with feature list shared with diesel trims. This translates to 3 airbags even in base variant with top end having 7 airbags. 6-speed automatic transmission is also available but only in G and Z variants. Feature list on G variant includes basic MID, 16" alloy wheels, ABS with EBD and BA, 3 airbags, cooled glovebox and some other basic stuff. Middle variant, V gets LED projector lights, keyless entry and psuh button start, auto up-down feature on all 4 windows, fog lamps, touch screen infotainment system, automatic climate control for front and rear passengers, reverse camera, electrically foldable ORVMs and few more. Top-end Z variant has 7 airbags, 17" alloy wheels, Cruise control, stability control, hill start assist, leather seats, GPS and electrically adjustable driver seat. However, unlike the other variants, the top-end trim isn't available with 8 seat configuration.&nbsp;</p><p>Already a huge success, petrol variant will make the MUV available in a larger price band and there could be many buyers who would prefer the refinement of a petrol unit over diesel at given price point. The immediate competition (if &nbsp;there's any!) may not have an answer for Toyota’s MPV for now. It must be noted that recent concerns and ban on diesel cars must have acted like a catalyst for Toyota to offer its best seller in petrol avatar.</p><p></p>
