A few reports suggest that the 2023 Innova will ditch the current ladder-on-frame chassis for a unibody design. In addition to that, the 2023 Innova Crysta is also likely to switch to a front-wheel-drive setup. We can also see a twist-beam rear suspension in the test car, which is uncommon in cars with a rear-wheel-drive setup.
