Ever since its launch, the Toyota Innova has been ruling roost in the people mover segment. Its bul letproof reliability and literally go anywhere capability meant it has been the choice of not just the fleet operators but also families. Most of the manufacturers have tried to take on the Innova by launching similar spec vehicles but none of them have truly been able to beat it in terms of market acceptability. Things became even better for Toyota with the launch of the Innova Crysta. But now there’s Kia gunning for the niche luxury MPV space with the Carnival and we brought the two together to determine if it makes sense to spend a little more on the Carnival. But before we begin we must mention here that the top of the line ZX automatic variant of the Innova Crysta is priced at Rs 28.01 lakh on the road, Delhi. The top of the line Kia Carnival on the other hand is priced at Rs 39.82 lakh. Now the good news is that the Carnival is also available in a Premium variant which costs Rs 29.34 lakh. Hence we chose to compare these two models which are priced closer to each other. So it is the Toyota Innova Crysta 2.4 ZX AT versus the Kia Carnival Premium.
