The BS-6 Toyota Fortuner and Innova Crysta will be about Rs. 1-1.5 lakhs more expensive than the BS-4 models and will continue will all their present engines.
Its 2020 already and the BS-6 norms would be effective in just three months. Most manufacturers have already geared up to launch their BS-6 vehicles. We recently reported that Toyota has opened bookings for the BS-6 Yaris and now, we have come to learn that bookings for the BS6-compliant Toyota Innova Crysta and Fortuner will officially open in the second week of January 2020.
The sources say that Toyota will open bookings for the BS-6 Fortuner and Innova Crysta on January 6. However, a number of dealers across the country have already exhausted their stock of BS-4 models and have already unofficially opened bookings for the BS6 models, with the booking amount set at Rs 50,000. The deliveries for the BS-6 Toyota Fortuner and Innova Crysta will however only expected to commence by end-February or early in March. That is because the company wants to ensure that BS-6 fuel is available across the country by the time the BS-6 models hit the road.
The Fortuner and the Innova Crysta are two quite expensive cars but still they have been Toyota’s bread-and-butter models in India for years now. They are hugely popular for what they are – the Innova Crysta as a premium people’s mover and the Fortuner as a tough thoroughbred SUV. With the BS-6 update, both the cars will get noticeably more expensive and we are expecting the hike in price to be in the region of Rs. 1-1.5 lakhs. The engines will require sophisticated and complex Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology as well as a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
