The Innova Crysta has been a go to choice for many in the Indian market for a few years now with its reputation of being sturdy, reliable, comfortable and also has good resale value. Fast forward to 2025 and several competitors are already well beyond this, incorporating air cooled CPUs, large touchscreens, digital instrument clusters, advanced ADAS and even numerically driven semi autonomous features. In contrast, the Innova Crysta has been berated for its uncoloured infotainment system, which is missing high tech features. Such thing causes people to question the meaning of modern technology in cars these days. Are reliability and comfort enough to make us choose a car with less tech? Are advanced gadgets only nice to have? Do they really add real value? Is the approach by Toyota to opt for technology that works over features still leading edge the right approach? For families, corporate fleet, and individual owners, how important are these modern features?
