2016 Toyota Innova Crysta 2.7 petrol review, test drive

Should I buy one? 

It’s hard to make a case for the petrol Innova Crysta, especially when it comes with a brilliant diesel option. The two main reasons to buy a petrol are refinement and performance, but the petrol Innova doesn’t really excel in these areas. The price difference between the top-spec diesel automatic and petrol is automatic isn’t much, with the petrol being just cheaper by Rs 1.31 lakh.

So who should buy a petrol Innova? It’s for someone who doesn’t like the clattery sound of a diesel, and prefers the more refined manners of a petrol and won't use their car for long hauls. Also, what you lose in fuel bills you will make up for with some peace of mind – even though the petrol Innova is a gas guzzler, it’s unlikely to face a ban in the future!
