Toyota India has updated its best-selling Innova Crysta and Fortuner SUV with new features and additional equipment ahead of the festive season.

Initially, when launched in India, the Innova Crysta was equipped with 17-inch rims. But after getting customer feedback, Toyota switched to 16-inch rims. Customers complained about tyre damage under heavy load and bad road conditions.

Now, Toyota has reintroduced the 17-inch alloys with stiffer sidewall tyres. The larger rims will be only available in the top-of-the-range Z trim of the Innova Crysta. The 17-inch rims are standard on the Touring Sport variant of the Innova.

Mahindra offers the same feature under the Micro-Hybrid moniker. But Toyota does not want to dub both the models as micro hybrid as it will hamper the sales of the true hybrids such as the Camry and Prius.
