Toyota Innova Crysta sales cross 67,500 units; clocks 12% growth in February 2017

It is another success story from auto carmaker Toyota in India. Innova Crysta, the new avatar of its popular MPV Innova, seems to be following on the trail of its predecessor - Innova. The latest sales figures project Toyota Innova Crysta to have crossed sales of 67,500 units since its launch in the Indian market in the month of May last year.

The MPV has generated a lot of interest leading to a prolonged waiting period. Currently, it commands a waiting period of nearly two months and chances are that the period could even get longer.
