Toyota brought the Innova Crysta to our shores in May 2016. The MPV has become an instant hit clocking huge numbers and commanding an ever-increasing waiting period. An MPV by nature, the Innova Crysta, in terms of pricing, doesn’t have any direct rivals as all other MPVs are significantly cheaper, have smaller engines and lesser features. Although Mahindra’s XUV500 belongs to a different category, both these vehicles fall in the same price bracket. Both have seven seats. In many ways, then, for someone looking for a car for 5-7 in the Rs. 15-20 lakhs range, these two could be ideal candidates. Read our Toyota Innova Crysta vs Mahindra XUV500 comparison to find out which of these suits your needs better.

Toyota Innova Crysta vs Mahindra XUV500 Design Comparison
The 2016 MY Toyota Innova features a much-improved exterior. Its nose now gets sleeker headlamps with LED daytime running lights and projector units. That combined with the wide gaping grille lend the Innova Crysta a very aggressive look. Overall profile of the car is unmistakably MPV. The van like silhouette of MPVs is not everyone’s cup of tea and if you’re one of those who do not like that particular body style then the new Innova won’t make your heart skip a beat. That said, the new model here is certainly an improvement over the old one. However, the rear is a bit too bland. Those who prefer SUVs in terms of appearance will like the way the XUV500 looks. The meaty wheel arches, body cladding and other design elements come together to form an SUV that the car buying generally seems to like.
The new Innova comes across as more premium and roomier than car it replaces. Its cabin is now worthy of a car that costs upwards of 15 lakhs. The dashboard design is very modern and makes good use of dark coloured materials. It scores really well on occupant comfort and space, featuring seating for 7-8 passengers. In contrast, the Mahindra XUV500’s cabin is much simpler as far as the design is concerned. The overall layout is neat and tidy. One of the highlights here is the instrument console which looks brilliant when lit. However, Mahindra XUV500 loses out to the Innova Crysta in terms of overall quality and fit and finish.
