Toyota Innova and Fortuner continue to be the stalwarts of the Japanese carmaker in our market. Both these are the most successful vehicles in Toyota’s India portfolio for years now. On one hand, the Innova is a reliable MPV which has undergone many iterations. At the moment, you can buy it as Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross. On the other hand, the Fortuner is one of the most successful 7-seat off-roaders in our market ever. The only true rival it had was the Ford Endeavour. However, after the departure of Ford from India, Toyota is enjoying immense success. That is the reason for such impressive sales.
