Toyota Innova Crysta, Fortuner Prices Hiked Post Cess Increase

Prices for the Innova have shot up by up to Rs 78,000, while the Fortuner’s prices have increased by a massive sum of Rs 1,60,000

Effective from September 12, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has announced a price hike across its portfolio – the Innova Crysta, Fortuner, Corolla and the Etios - following the decision of the GST council to increase cess on mid-size cars, luxury cars and SUVs. The Japanese automaker decided to share the increased burden of prices with its customers after the cess went up by 2-7 per cent. The good news is that hybrids (Camry) and small cars (Etios Liva) are kept out of this price rise.

Here’s a look at the approximate price rise including the newly added cess (all prices ex-showroom Delhi):

Car Name	Pre Cess	Post Cess (expected prices)
Toyota Fortuner	Rs 24.41 – 29.18 lakh	Rs 26.01 – 30.78 lakh
Toyota Innova Crysta	Rs 13.30 – 20.78 lakh	Rs 14.08 – 21.56 lakh
Toyota Corolla Altis	Rs 14.88 – 18.67 lakh	Rs 15.60 – 19.39 lakh
Toyota Etios	Rs 6.66 – 8.60 lakh	Rs 6.79 – 8.73 lakh

The prices of the Toyota Etios will go up by Rs 13,000, while the MPV, the Innova Crysta will see prices rise by Rs 78,000 across its variants. Prices for Toyota’s mid-size sedan, the Corolla Altis will be hiked by Rs 72,000, whereas Toyota Fortuner buyers will have to shell out a huge sum of Rs 1.60 lakh more than the previous prices.

However, it’s not all over for Toyota car buyers. Despite this price rise, buyers can still enjoy the GST price cut benefits though by a lesser amount now. For instance, after the GST came into effect on July 1, 2017, the Etios’ price was reduced by Rs 23,000 (base variant). After the implementation of the additional cess of Rs 13,000, the customer would actually benefit by Rs 10,000 on its base variant. Have a look at the gains that you can still enjoy on Toyota cars post cess hike.

Car Name	Post GST Price Cut	Post Cess Price Rise	Consumer Benefit*
Toyota Fortuner	Rs 2.25 lakh to Rs 2.68 lakh	Rs 1.60 lakh	Rs 65,000 to Rs 1.08 lakh
Toyota Innova Crysta	Rs 89,000 to Rs 1.37 lakh	Rs 78,000	Rs 11,000 to Rs 59,000
Toyota Corolla Altis	Rs 98,000 to Rs 1.24 lakh	RS 72,000	Rs 26,000 to Rs 52,000
Toyota Etios	Rs 23,000 to Rs 33,000	Rs 13,000	Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000
