Bookings for Innova Crysta diesel variant put on hold. Here's why
- Toyota Innova Crysta is one of the most popular MPV. The manufacturer has sold more than 1 million units of Innova since it was first introduced.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor has confirmed that their dealerships have stopped taking bookings for the diesel variants of Innova Crysta temporarily. This has been done because the waiting period of the MPV was increasing due to very high demand. Toyota has also announced that they will be making efforts to supply diesel Innovas to customers who already had a booking with a dealership.
The exact reason behind the shortage of supply is still not revealed but it could be the semiconductor shortage issue that all the manufacturers are currently facing. Toyota will continue to take bookings of the petrol-powered Innova Crysta.
