Coming to the main point of why Toyota Innova Crysta is getting a price hike, we have multiple reasons. As a whole, the input costs have increased but what factors have caused this? Let’s have a look. The initial cost of steel has increased significantly. Steel, being one of the major contributors in the production, has led to the price hike.
