We put together a list of five things you must know about the new Innova.

1. Diesel engines

The car will be offered with two diesel mills viz. a 2.4-litre and a 2.8-litre, that produce 149PS and 174PS of power respectively. The smaller engine comes mated to a five-speed manual gearbox while the larger one meshes with a six-speed automatic. Toyota is tight lipped about any petrol engine but we do expect one to power the Innova soon.

The Innova will get two driving modes, namely Power and Eco. The latter optimizes the engine for better fuel efficiency, whereas the Power mode lets one utilize full potential of the motor.

As mentioned earlier, the Innova Crysta has got a lot of updates when compared to its predecessor. The car has segment first attributes like automatic climate control with rear auto AC, LED projector headlamps, one touch tumble & space-up rear seats and back door easy closer.
