Since it's launch in 2005, the Toyota Innova has been a benchmark for the MPV segment in India, and the introduction of the second-gen model, the Innova Crysta, further cemented its position in the country. In fact, so far, Toyota has sold more than 9 lakh units over the years. The Toyota Fortuner, on the other hand, was launched in 2009, has been a leader in the full-size SUV space, achieving a cult status. Since 2011, the company has sold over 1.45 lakh units of the SUV in India.
In comparison, the Innova's closest rival, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which was launched in 2012, has cumulatively sold over 5.41 lakh units till 2019, including the XL6. However, the Innova Crysta now has a new and more capable rival in the form of the Kia Carnival, which is bigger, more feature packed, and can seat more people as well. However, that also makes it more expensive and we'll need to wait and watch whether it can surpass the Innova or not. The Fortuner, on the other hand, has been closely compeating with the Ford Endeavour, which on an average sells around 700-900 units.
