Innova Taxi in Noida: Comfort, Costs & What to Expect
Noida has grown fast, and so has the demand for reliable, comfortable taxis. Among the options, Toyota Innova / Innova Crysta (sometimes “Innova” loosely used to cover both) taxis are among the preferred picks — spacious, decent ride quality, especially for family / group travel, airport runs or outstation rides. Here’s a detailed look.
What is an Innova/ Innova Crysta
- The Innova is a multi‑utility vehicle (MPV), with seating capacity (6‑7 passengers depending on variant) plus luggage. It’s more spacious than sedans, good legroom, decent comfort.
- The “Crysta” is a more premium trim / newer generation, with better interiors, sometimes more features, smoother ride.
So when you pay more, part of that goes into that extra comfort, space, and reliability.
