At the Indonesian International Motor Show earlier this year, the Japanese automaker Toyota showed a concept prototype of an electric MPV based on the Toyota Innova. The conceptual basis of this idea was comparable to Innova Crysta, which is available in India.
The firm, however, declared that it had no plans to introduce an electric vehicle (EV) based on the obsolete IMV2 ladder-on-frame platform. Toyota further clarified that this concept is only being created for future EV research and development.
But in an intriguing turn of events, this electric MPV powered by the Innova Crysta was seen for the first time operating on public roads. The front fascia of the car is identical to that of the Innova Crysta in the spy photographs, but it has a blanked-out grille design and blue highlights all over, hinting that it is an electric vehicle. Additional exterior modifications include a new front bumper, blue LED headlight and taillight inserts, “Innova EV” stickers on the D-pillar, new side decals, and EV badging on the back.
Toyota has not provided any technical information or specifications regarding this concept. As a result, the battery’s capacity, maximum range, and power output are yet unknown.
Additionally, Toyota just debuted the Innova HyCross in the nation and is concentrating more on hybrid vehicles in India, according to the brand’s plans. Despite being tested on the road, it is unlikely that the Innova electric concept would be sold in India.
