Toyota is thinking of entering the ‘green belt’ in India with the introduction of CNG version of Innova. Toyota’s eco-friendly car Prius has been a great success in the international market registering many awards and appreciation in its credit for the ‘Hi-tech’ hybrid technology. It is the world’s first mass production hybrid petrol-electric vehicle.
Eyeing the popularity of this green car, Toyota now plans to bring in CNG version of the Innova to further boost its eco-spirit. Toyota Innova from the MUV segment is one of the popular models in the Indian car market. Available in both petrol and diesel version, Innova flaunts with its sturdy design, comfort, safety and unmatched performance in its class. It holds the capacity to accommodate eight people and with the price ranging from Rs 7.8 Lakh to Rs 10.8 Lakh. The CNG version of Innova is expected to cost Rs 75,000-90,000 more including the warranty and installation charges.
The plan of introducing a CNG version of Innova is a right step amid growing customers demand for green cars in the country. The trend of alternative fueled cars is slowing taking prominence in India due to rising air pollution to which automobile industry contributes about 70%.
Even the CNG version of Corolla is speculated to launch in the India market. Hope these new versions will further help to improve the sales figure of the Innova which is already a market leader in its segment and the premium sedan Corolla which saw a slight dip in sales in October.
Whe roads turn green!!! Green revolution is here again, this time not with food crops, but with automobiles. Auto giants are looking for alternatives which are less polluting. May be awareness has reached to the root level. Good thought it helps build a better niche!!
