15 YEARS & AROUND 9 LAKH DELIGHTED CUSTOMERS

WHO DOES NOT HAVE AN Innova story? From a ride in the back seat to the airport to an adventure in the Himalayas, the Innova stories are as varied as they are plentiful. I wouldn’t say this story is my favourite but it definitely is my most memorable. 14 years ago we drove from Pune to the Auto Expo in the first generation Innova, the entire editorial team of the magazine I was working for, and on the way back we got into a major incident at an unmarked roundabout in the dead of the night. That was it for the Innova but all seven of us, we walked out of it without a scratch. I was already a big fan of the Innova, for its comfort, driving dynamics, features and what have you but that incident, the safety that the Innova demonstrated in the worst road incident I’ve ever been involved in — that made me a lifelong fan. Today, be it an airport drop or a family vacation, I always swear by — and always insist on! — the Innova.

It’s a sentiment that I share with hundreds and thousands of Innova customers. Recently I did a drive with Innova Crysta owners to the origin of the Kaveri river and every single one of them were repeat Innova buyers. It’s not just the features, comfort and driving dynamics of Toyota’s family vehicle but the unbeatable quality and ownership experience that have them swear by it. Everybody I’ve recommended the Innova to, all of them love it to bits, and when it is time to upgrade they buy yet another Innova — of course with the Crysta offering an automatic transmission and a more powerful engine they’re also happy to drive their MPV.

Truth of the matter is that there is nothing else like this Toyota on sale today, and definitely nothing else at this price point that offers both the driving pleasure as well as the comfort the Innova Crysta does. It’s a success story that shows no signs of slowing down.
