Despite being an MPV, the Toyota Innova Crysta is meant in the same class as SUVs in the same price range, due to its size and because of the price point. It has many buyers thankful to the fact that it is also considered alongside popular SUVs like the Tata Harrier, MG Hector, and the Toyota Fortuner. The Innova Crysta is famous for its comfortable ride and performance and is based on a different platform than most modern SUVs. This results in differences between their drive dynamics, handling and general feel of a motorcar on the road. On highways, SUVs tend to give a much higher seating position and feel more planted, on the more bumpy city roads, the Innova would give a far smoother ride. This comparison begs the question – what is a good driving experience in India? What's it about, comfort, handling, power, a little of all three? Were Innova's monocoque SUVs for ride quality and handling superior than Honda MPV based chassis? Can Innova's reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs compensate for driving dynamics that are seen to be inferior by some?
