Facelifted Toyota Innova initial photo revealed

Toyota Innova

UMW Toyota Motor has unveiled a front three quarter view of the upcoming Toyota Innova facelift on its website. The IMV vehicle is built on the same chassis as the Toyota Hilux and comes with a single engine – a 2.0 litre longitudinally mounted 1TR-FE driving the rear wheels with 136 PS at 5,600rpm and 182Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.

Three models will be available for the facelift: the 2.0G automatic estimated to cost RM110,000, the 2.0E automatic estimated to be priced at RM102,000 and the 2.0E manual which is estimated to go for RM97,000.

The 2.0G model has chrome trim on the front grile as well as an Optitron meter panel, CD and MP3 player with 6 speakers, dual SRS airbags at the front, and fabric seats (leather optional). For the E models you lose the passenger airbag and the Optitron meter panel.

Times have changed, from barely anything at the RM100k mark in the MPV market a few years ago to a decent selection consisting of the APV, Avanza, Innova and Grand Livina. The local boys will join the race soon with the Proton MPV and Perodua MPV.

    After all this while, i think Toyota should offer the 7 seater configuration as option too, with middle row captain chairs. Especially for the G spec. I dont think Innova owners carry his 7 passangers all the time..

    Hi Paul,
    Was wondering if you have any news or rumours about a new Innova model for 2011. My current 2005 Innova is getting on in age and would like to get the new model next year. Been looking around at alternatives like Mitsu Pajerosport, Mitsu Grandis, Chevy Captiva and reconds like Estima and Alphard (too expensive for used cars, me thinks). But, still think Innova suits my family needs. Don’t want to buy this 2008 facelift model, coz it’s essentially same under the skin as the 2005. Would appreciate if you can share any hints whether 2011 will see a new Innova emerge. Many thanks in advance.

    Tengok jalan-jalan kat Malaysia nie…terutama pada bulan 11-12…musim tengkujuh..sana lopak,sini lubang…situ tenggelam air..kayu melintang tgh jalan..memang sesuai lah chasis hilux body wagon nie dibawak berjalan melalui jalan2 tersebut…klu G/Livina kompom dah berenti bila tengok air melintas jalan..lg pon GL tgk dalam dia tak ubah mcm Wira je..cantik lagi Wira punya interior aku rasa..bagi aku…memang berbaloi bawak wagon yg duduk atas platform hilux nie..klu ada modal boleh modified jadi 4×4 lak nanti…
