Reports: Toyota to End Innova Crysta Diesel in 2027

Tighter CAFE 3 targets favor strong hybrids with super credits, pushing Toyota toward the petrol-hybrid Hycross.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report production will wind down around March 2027, with Toyota Kirloskar not confirming the timeline at publication.
  • The Innova Crysta is a ladder-frame MPV with a 2.4-litre diesel engine and manual gearbox that has increasingly served fleet buyers.
  • An earlier phase-out was delayed by steady demand from operators plus limited availability of the newer Hycross due to semiconductor shortages.
  • CAFE 3 rules raise fleet CO2 hurdles for heavy diesel models, while each strong hybrid is counted favorably in the average through super credits.
  • The exit would leave a gap in diesel MPVs, with no direct successor identified as rivals assess opportunities and Hyundai evaluates a localized Staria.
