Looking to purchase a Toyota vehicle like an Innova Crysta or a Fortuner, but want to avoid the hassle of visiting a dealership? Toyota India has made it easier with their new program called “Wheels On Web”. This initiative is an extension of the virtual showroom platform that Toyota India introduced on its website in 2021.
Through the “Wheels On Web” program, customers can now book a new Toyota car, MPV or SUV, and complete the buying process online. This initiative also enables buyers to get the physical delivery of a new Toyota vehicle at their doorstep. Customers can also track the booking and delivery status of their planned Toyota product online.

In addition to the above facilities, the program allows prospective buyers to virtually check the features of the car and its variants, including exterior, interior, colour and features. It also offers the option of checking out the additional facilities offered by Toyota as a part of the buying experience, such as authorized accessories, extended warranty schemes, and service plans.
Book free evaluation
Furthermore, customers can book a free evaluation of their existing vehicles, in case they wish to trade them in exchange for a new Toyota vehicle. Multiple finance and insurance options are also available through this program, and it accepts all types of online payment gateways. The platform provides auto-communication via a WhatsApp message or an e-mail registered on the platform.
The “Wheels On Web” platform features all the variants of Toyota’s lineup for India, including Glanza, Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Hilux, Fortuner, Legender, Camry and Vellfire. It is important to note that the petrol-hybrid variants of the Innova Hycross and the flagship Land Cruiser LC300 are not available for online purchasing through this new platform.
Toyota Innova Hycross
The Toyota Innova Hycross is a monocoque MPV that is built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA), whereas the Innova Crysta is a ladder-on-frame MPV. The Innova Hycross is more luxurious in terms of appearance and features compared to the Innova Crysta. The former boasts a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, semi-digital instrument cluster, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, and more. It is also the first Toyota car in India to feature ADAS.
The strong hybrid version of the Innova Hycross is powered by a 2.0-liter petrol engine coupled with an electric motor, producing a combined power output of 183 Ps. It has a claimed fuel economy of 23.24 kmpl, which is the highest in its segment. The regular petrol version, on the other hand, is equipped with a 2.0-liter petrol engine generating 171 Ps and has a claimed fuel economy of 16.13 kmpl. The regular petrol version comes with a CVT transmission, while the strong hybrid version has an e-CVT gearbox. Unfortunately, Toyota does not offer a manual gearbox for the Innova Hycross, and there is no diesel engine available. However, the Innova Crysta diesel is still available in the market and comes with a manual transmission. It was recently reintroduced in the market.
