Lexus LM 350 vs Toyota Innova Crysta Comparison

In the Indian car market, the Toyota Innova Crysta remains a unique anomaly; it is still relevant simply because it does its core job better than anyone else. This MPV successfully bridges the gap between a traditional people-mover and an SUV, offering a premium cabin and a ride quality that prioritises passenger comfort above all else. However, the shift to a diesel-only manual lineup limits its appeal for urban dwellers seeking multiple options. It is also not the most technologically advanced car, nor is it the most feature-rich.
If you want the latest tech and hybrid efficiency, the Innova Hycross is better suited to today’s buyer needs. Also, with the Crysta set to discontinue by March 2027, purchasing one may feel like going for a last-gen car. But if you do not care about its looming expiry date, and still want it to carry seven people in absolute comfort, withstand the worst of Indian roads, and retain its value better than real estate, the Innova Crysta has no equal.
This is how our car&bike review video summarises,

“The best place to be in the Innova Crysta is undoubtedly the rear seat. The setup allows you to simply relax and enjoy the ride without needing anything else.”
