The launch of the new Touring Sport 2017 takes place just ahead of this year’s festive season.

2017 Toyota Innova Crysta Touring Sport Exterior and Interior

The latest version of the Touring Sport isn’t too different from the one it replaces. Even if you compare the Touring Sport with the Crysta, there’s not much that’s different between the two models. Both the MPVs get the same design and dimensions. However, the latest version of the Touring Sport gets a host of small styling updates that make it look slightly more attractive. The black body cladding, black inserts, and generous usage of chrome makes this model look more premium than the Crysta. The new 17-inch black mag wheels are really stylish and make the vehicle look sportier. The exclusive ‘Red Wine’ colour scheme makes it all even more special.

As the overall design and diemsnions remain the same as those of the Crysta, there is absolutely no change in the interior space. The only difference is that the 2017 Toyota Innova Touring Sport edition comes in a seven-seat format only. The interior gets a black treatment, which very well compliments the red exterior paint. As it is based on the high-end VX and ZX trims, the new special edition offers all the features that are available on these trim levels of the Crysta. Additionally, the new car gets an updated touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation.
