Toyota Inova


The Toyota Innova is a large MPV. It was first introduced by Toyota in 2003 in Indonesia. It is now also sold in other Asian countries like Malaysia, Philippines, and India.


           The Innova has a sporty design, along with cutting edge aerodynamics, 3 dimensional front, and panoramic windows. The Innova has a greater height and road clearance compared to other MPVs, which makes it able to drive over rough roads. The three-dimensional front grille not only provides an efficient air flow to the rear, but also adds to the impressive look.


           The interior of this car is equipped with surrounding adjustable passenger and driver seats. It has a good looking instrument panel, along with AC vents in all three passenger rows. There are bottle holders provided for every passenger. The Innova can easily seat up to eight people.


           The MPV is available in both petrol and diesel versions. There are a total of 5 versions in seven colors. The petrol Innova features a 2.0 Litre, 1988cc VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - intelligence) engine that generates 100kW @ 5600 rpm of power, and a torque of 182Nm @ 4000rpm. The diesel Toyota Innova comes with a common rail diesel engine (CRDI) for decent performance and high fuel efficiency. This 2.5 liter engine is tuned for Asian conditions. It generates 75kW @ 3600 rpm of power, and 200 Nm@ 1400-3400 rpm torque.


           Safety features in the Innova include load sensing promotion valve (LSPV), SRS air bags (driver and passenger side), and a Theft Deterrent System which immobilizes the vehicle.
