That the next generation Toyota Innova is about to be launched is something that hasn’t been a secret. The 2016 Toyota Innova has been spied on numerous occasions and from the looks of it, the next-gen model would be slightly larger and would have a more daunting stance than the current generation. It is pretty much for sure that the next generation Innova will also be positioned in a higher price segment and hence, would not be a replacement for the current model. Instead, there would be a new Toyota Innova Cross that will take the mantle from the current model. The Toyota Innova Cross launch is expected to take place around September this year. Our guess is that the Toyota Innova Cross prices will start at INR 8 lakhs. The speculated Toyota Innova cross will share in plenty with the current model. Visually, it would be like an MPV on stilts. The upcoming Innova model is likely to take styling cues from the Etios Cross. This means that the new model could come with bits like plastic cladding and faux skid plats. Here, in this report, we have put together all the available details of the new Toyota Innova Cross India launch date.

Toyota Innova Cross India Launch Date, Price
It is being said that the Innova Cross would be launched in mid-2016, probably around September. It maybe noted that Toyota has axed the production of current Innova to make way for the Crysta. However, the Innova Cross will bring the current model back to life. Selling the previous gen Innova (as the Innova Cross) along with the Crysta makes a lot of sense as the two models will have different target customers. The more premium is likely to appeal more to private car buyers looking for a slightly luxurious experience. The Innova Cross, on the other hand, will rival the likes of Mobilio and Lodgy and will appeal to fleet operators. The previous gen Innova is a highly trusted model and the Cross variant will benefit from the image that the donor vehicle enjoys.
While the current generation Innova isn’t very attractively priced, the Innova Cross is expected to be priced significantly lower, all in a bid to take the fight straight to the models like the Honda Mobilio, Maruti Ertiga and Renault Lodgy.
