Toyota has officially launched the 2025 Innova Crysta in India, introducing a refreshed design, upgraded safety, and a number of premium features. The base model starts at ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom), giving buyers more value than previous versions.
🔍 What’s New on the Outside
The updated Innova Crysta gets a more commanding presence: sharper LED headlamps with DRLs, a redesigned chrome-accented grille, and revised front bumpers with larger air intakes for a more aggressive look. Alloy wheels now come in updated styles (16-inch on lower trims, 17- or 18-inch on higher ones), and the taillamps feature wrap-around LED styling with a chrome strip across the tailgate.
To enhance its premium feel, the exterior also benefits from improved noise insulation and refined body lines. These changes are more about sophistication and presence than radical redesign.
🛋 Interior & Comfort Upgrades
Inside, Toyota has added soft-touch materials, wood-trim accents, and improved seat comfort. Both 7-seater and 8-seater layouts are offered, with higher variants getting second-row captain seats with recline and better bolstering to keep passengers comfortable on long trips.
The infotainment has been upgraded to a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen (on premium trims) supporting wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. The dashboard instruments have also been improved for clarity, and ambient lighting adds to the interior’s premium atmosphere. Rear passengers receive more thoughtful touches like charging points, tray tables, roof AC vents, and better visibility.
⚙️ Engine, Performance, & Drive Experience
The Crysta 2025 continues with its well-known 2.4-litre diesel engine, delivering around 148-150 BHP and about 343-360 Nm of torque depending on whether you choose the manual or automatic version.
Transmission options are a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. Toyota has also fine-tuned the suspension and improved steering to offer smoother ride comfort, better handling over undulating roads, and reduced noise & vibrations inside the cabin.
🛡 Safety & Tech Highlights
Toyota has prioritized safety with the 2025 model. All trims now come with seven airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability control, hill start assist, and rear parking sensors. Higher trims offer Toyota Safety Sense, which includes driver-assistance features such as a Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a 360-degree camera system.
Other helpful tech: LED DRLs, projector headlamps, improved cabin insulation, and advanced infotainment with voice recognition are available in select trims.

✅ Final Take
The 2025 Innova Crysta is a strong upgrade for those who want MPV comfort, space, and premium touches without losing reliability. While the design tweaks are mostly evolutionary, the comfort, safety, and tech features bring it closer to luxury MPVs.
