The new base variants are Rs 29,000 less than the previous base GX variant but are only available with a petrol engine and a manual gearbox. This means the Toyota Innova Crysta GX(-) is powered by a 2.7-litre petrol that makes 166PS and 245 Nm and pairs with a five-speed manual.
The exact features on offer with the Toyota Innova Crysta GX(-) aren’t known yet but expect to see some minor deletions from the GX variants list of conveniences. The Innova Crysta GX gets manual front and rear ACs, fabric seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, LCD MID, tilt and telescopic steering, driver-seat height adjustment and three airbags.
