No these are not my personal opinion. These are what I heard and found many places. I have driven Innova last model a lot as my uncle owns it and I have travelled from Ranchi to Varanasi around 600kms on it. Toyota as a brand is much advanced compared to Tata or a Mahindra for that matter no one is denying it. Hexa is a new product but owning a fresh product gives you a feeling which an old product cannot believe me. resale might be better but the price difference is too much much that it should not effect Hexa's resale much. I even posted in detail about this on the Hexa forum with my reasoning. Innovas can go forever but on the contrary I have seen even the older Indicas being driven for 2L+ kms but are tagged unreliable. Innova is good who wants to play safe. For anyone ready to play little risk I think the Hexa is good. And it looks better than Innova. I definitely no support any company taking customers for ride for their brand image and overprice their products something which Innova is famous for. The price difference of 4-5L on road is so huge that Hexa looks a better proposition overall. Lets leave on the OP to see what is his requirement.
TLDR you are merely speculating whereas Im an actual owner of 2 of the 3 said cars- XUV and Innova(old gen)
My grandad owns the Crysta too
None of the "issues" you said have been faced by me or anyone I know
Also Hexa after sales and resale is questionable whereas 1st gen Innovas still get more than what the Aria sells for in the used market even if the Innova is 1-2L km driven
Also I call clear BS when you say Toyota takes its customers for a ride
You have NOT owned a car other than your Tiago before whereas my family has owned multiple Innovas, so your arguement is invalid
As for tyre bursts, thats for the previous gen Innova and we have never faced such issues in our Innovas till date. period
As for your fresh product arguement, Crysta is very very different from the older Innova, it drives very differently
Also isnt Hexa a facelifted version of the ill-fated Aria, how is that exactly "fresh"
Theres no huge difference in price, barely 2-3L except the AT variants
Im not gonna argue any further, you are entitled to your opinion but mine and many other people's experience with the Toyota brand is the best with solid reason
Many car enthusiast sites tout Toyota after sales and reliability as unmatched till date
Their lower products may not be very good but Fortuner and Innova are solid brands
They arent overpriced, have you seen the market lately?? All cars are more expensive than before
Rather buy a proven brand
Heck rather buy XUV which is easily more proven in the market than Hexa if not Crysta
