UMW Toyota is certainly on a roll today – having revealed a new Toyota Camry 2.0 G X variant on its website, it’s now put up pricing and specs of the facelifted Toyota Innova, saying it’s “coming soon.” The refreshed MPV was launched in Indonesia last August – this is the third facelift.
The variants are E manual, E auto and G auto – all powered by a 136 PS/182 Nm 2.0 litre 1TR-FE four-cylinder petrol motor. The manual is a five-speeder and the auto a four-speeder with ECT.
No matter what variant you choose, you get 205/65 R15 alloys, front-disc-rear-drum brakes, a 2-DIN head unit with CD, MP3, AUX, USB, Bluetooth and six speakers, second- and third-row air-con vents, fabric seats, dual-cell colour-keyed reverse sensors, two airbags and Isofix in the second row. E manual and E auto are pretty similar in terms of kit.
On the outside, the G auto exclusively sports a chromed front grille, wing mirror indicators, chrome door handles, rear wiper, side moulding, chrome tailgate garnish and front fog lamps.

Comments on the Toyota Innova facelift mainly focus on its unappealing design, with many calling it ugly, outdated, and a failed facelift. Several users criticize the front grille, comparing it unfavorably to older models and other brands, and express disappointment with Toyota’s lack of innovation. Many argue that the facelift does not improve the model's performance, safety features, or appeal, with some suggesting that Toyota should discontinue the Innova rather than keep making superficial updates. There is also criticism about the high price for such an old and unrefined model, and comparisons to more attractive or better-equipped competitors like Honda, Proton, Kia, and Hyundai. Overall, the sentiment is largely negative, with many considering it a poor investment and an eyesore.
