Toyota Innova probably needs no introduction, especially since it is one of the most popular MPVs in Malaysia. The first-generation Toyota Innova debuted in 2005, and the replacement model you can see here was launched in 2016.
All variants of the Toyota Innova have a gasoline engine 1TR-FE 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine capable of producing 139 PS and 183 Nm, which are transmitted to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission with 6-speed.

What is the price of Toyota Innova?
The price of Toyota Innova is RM 115,280 for Innova 2.0E, Innova 2.0G for RM 123,400, and Innova RM 132,400 for Innova 2.0X. This price is the driving price without insurance.
Which variant to buy?
Our choice in the Innova series is Innova 2.0X, because it is the only version in the second row that offers captain seats, LED projector headlights and 8-way driver's seat. Then satisfied.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Toyota Innova?
First of all, Toyota Innova is a pickup truck-based MPV, which makes it completely different from some fierce competitors.
Innova competitors such as Nissan Serena are all built on a "monolithic" platform, which has better body stiffness. Innova is built on a pickup truck, and like Serena, it guarantees travel comfort and handling.
But what makes the Toyota Innova truly outstanding (aside from the bright LED headlights) is when driving on poor roads. In MPVs such as Nissan Serena, driving under harsh road conditions will not only cause uncomfortable driving and vibration, but also damage the bottom of the MPV due to its relatively low body.
However, Toyota Innova did not encounter this problem, and due to its solid structure and high body, it can easily drive in harsh road conditions. In addition, Innova can pass the flood road better than Serena.
We also like to add Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the 2.0G and 2.0X variants. With the second-generation Toyota Innova, the Japanese car company has made great strides in further enhancing the atmosphere in the cabin.

Although not as good as the Nissan Serena, the Innova has the same cabin space as the Toyota Alphard, but the price is more affordable. This is because Toyota provides Innova with a well-designed and unique-looking instrument panel that also has multiple functions.
We also like the two-story belt made of silver and wood on the dashboard. It looks beautiful and neat, floating on the dashboard, giving a charming and luxurious feeling.
It is combined with the leather-covered steering wheel, which looks like it was lifted from Alphard and installed on Innova. In addition, the soft blue cockpit lights also illuminate the interior of the MPV. The disadvantage is low fuel economy and high maintenance costs. This is common for rear-wheel drive MPVs. Toyota Innova requires rear differential oil service and power steering fluid every 40,000 kilometers.
Overall, we think Toyota Innova is the right choice for the big family, because it provides a "sturdy" appearance similar to an SUV on the MPV body, and has Toyota's undeniable reliability, and it can be opened with your fingertips. The convenience of sliding doors.
However, although Nissan Serena is not as thick as Innova, Serena offers more comfortable driving and higher gasoline efficiency.
