Toyota Innova Crysta Price Hiked (Jan 2026): Check New Price List

The “King of MPVs” gets a little more expensive this new year. Here is everything you need to know about the latest Toyota Innova Crysta price hike and features.

If you were planning to bring home a brand-new Toyota Innova Crysta this month, be ready to pay a bit more. Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has officially increased the prices of its popular diesel MPV in India starting January 2026. This price revision affects all variants of the Crysta, including the recently launched mid-spec GX Plus.

While the Innova Hycross (Hybrid) focuses on tech and mileage, the Crysta remains the top choice for buyers who want raw diesel power and reliability. Here are the full details of the price hike, the new price list, and what this means for Indian buyers.

How Much is the Price Hike?

Toyota has increased the prices of the Innova Crysta by up to ₹26,000, depending on the variant.

Base Variants (GX): Prices have gone up by approximately ₹19,000.
Top Variants (VX & ZX): The higher-end models see a steeper hike of roughly ₹26,000.

This is a standard “cyclical price revision” that most car manufacturers in India announce at the start of a new year. Toyota states that rising input costs (the cost of raw materials like steel and electronics) are the main reason for this increase.

Are There Any New Features?

No. It is important to clarify that this is only a price update. There are no mechanical changes or new feature additions to the 2026 model year Innova Crysta.

The MPV continues to be powered by the trusted 2.4-litre Diesel Engine that produces 148 bhp and 343 Nm of torque. It is available only with a 5-speed Manual Transmission. If you want an Automatic Innova, you will have to switch to the petrol-hybrid Innova Hycross.

Key Features Recap:

Safety: 3 to 7 Airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, and Hill Start Assist.
Comfort: 8-way power-adjustable driver seat (in top trims) and unmatched rear-seat legroom.
Tech: 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity.

Why is the Innova Crysta Still Popular in 2026?

Despite the launch of the modern Innova Hycross, the older Crysta has a massive fan base in India. Here is why it is still trending:

Diesel Engine Love: Many Indians prefer diesel for long highway trips and heavy loads. The Hycross only offers Petrol or Hybrid.
Ladder-Frame Chassis: The Crysta is built on a tough ladder-frame chassis (like the Fortuner), making it more durable on bad roads compared to the monocoque Hycross.
Resale Value: The “Toyota” badge ensures that the Crysta holds its value exceptionally well in the second-hand market.

Waiting Period & Availability

Due to high demand from both private families and taxi operators, the Innova Crysta commands a waiting period. As of early 2026, you might have to wait anywhere between 2 to 4 months for delivery, depending on your city and the color you choose. The ZX variant usually has the longest waiting list.
