The recently launched Innova Crysta has created a quite a lot of buzz in the Indian automobile industry. The new Innova Crysta from Toyota has received a very good response right from the beginning. The Crysta has recorded more than 15,000 bookings in ten days. We all are aware of Supreme Court’s decision where it has banned all the diesel cars which are above 2000cc. Both of the Innova Crysta’s engines are above 2000cc (2.4 litre and 2.8 litre) and Toyota is losing significant number of sales from the Delhi-NCR region as diesel cars with engine capacity over 2,000cc are not permitted to be sold here.
Because of the diesel car ban, the Toyota sales have dropped by 14% in 2015-16. Also, the reducing gap between petrol and diesel fuel in India has made many customers to switch back to gasoline variants.
