TL;DR
The diesel-powered Toyota Innova Crysta saw an increase in August sales, unexpectedly outselling the newer Innova Hycross, which experienced a decline.
In an unexpected turn for the Indian automotive market, wholesale figures for the diesel-powered Toyota Innova Crysta have shown an increase, while sales of its newer hybrid counterpart, the Innova Hycross, have declined. In August, Innova Crysta's wholesales rose by 10.7 percent to 3,849 units.
Conversely, the more technologically advanced Innova Hycross saw its sales fall by 12.2 percent to 5,114 units during the same period. This trend suggests a continued, and perhaps surprising, preference among a segment of Indian consumers for the robust and proven diesel MPV, indicating that its appeal has not faded despite the introduction of newer hybrid options.
