Toyota is considering the electric route. After exploring hydrogen with the Toyota Mirai and hybrid with the Innova Hycross, it is now testing an electric version of its popular MPV that sells well in India, and is fairly big.

Toyota has always been serious about finding alternatives to traditional fuel. They even went all-in on hydrogen with cars like the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle that promised zero emissions and quick refueling. While the world rushed toward electric, Toyota kept betting on hydrogen as the future.

They were sucessful with Hycross Hybrid but they are now exploring the electric drivetrain.

Now, it looks like Toyota is finally warming up to the electric game with the Innova Crysta EV Concept.

Toyota Innova Crysta Debuts in Indonesia

The Toyota Innova Crysta EV Concept made its debut at the 2025 Indonesia International Motor Show.

Toyota is positioning the electric version as a futuristic take on this beloved MPV while keeping its practical, family-friendly vibe intact. The concept is seen as a potential game-changer for emerging markets where reliable, spacious vehicles are a must. While it’s still a prototype, the move hints that Toyota is testing the waters for an electric MPV that could fit seamlessly into daily life.

Innova Crysta Electric Specs

The Toyota Innova Crysta EV Concept packs some interesting specs under the hood. It comes with a 59.3kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering 179 horsepower and a massive 700Nm of torque—pretty impressive for an MPV. It supports both AC and DC fast charging, making it convenient for long trips, though Toyota hasn’t revealed the official driving range yet.

On the outside, the EV concept gets a futuristic makeover with a sealed grille, angular headlamps connected by a sleek light strip, and compact fog lamps. Blue accents on the Toyota badge and EV-specific graphics on the body emphasize its electric identity. It also features 16-inch alloy wheels and a dark-finished roof, adding a sporty touch.

Innova Crysta Electric India launch

As of now, Toyota hasn’t officially confirmed any plans to launch the Innova Crysta EV in India. The concept is more of a showcase to highlight Toyota’s evolving EV strategy for emerging markets. Given how popular the Innova Crysta is in India, there’s a good chance Toyota could bring an electric version here if the market demand grows.

Currently, Toyota is focusing on hybrids in India, with the Innova Hycross leading the charge. If the EV infrastructure improves and customer interest picks up, the Innova EV could become a reality. For now, Toyota is testing the waters with the concept, but an official launch is still up in the air.
