There are no mechanical changes to either model but the price increase seems inevitable. Back in March this year, Toyota had announced its plans to increase prices across the range from April 1, 2021. The Innova Crysta, Fortuner, and the Camry Hybrid were the first models to see the change in pricing due to the rise in input costs. The Toyota Camry Hybrid saw the steepest hike of Rs. 1.18 lakh, while the Fortuner range got more expensive between Rs. 36,000-72,000, depending on the variant. The Innova Crysta's prices increased by Rs. 26,000 across all variants.
