With the next-generation Toyota Hilux pick-up and Fortuner SUV already unveiled, the final piece of the puzzle for Toyota’s next-generation IMV ladder-frame platform line-up is the new Toyota Innova MPV. We’re expecting it to be unveiled sometime in the final quarter of this year.
The spy video above of a camo-ed Innova being tested on an Indian highway reveals design details that seem to match the leaked photo of the 2016 Innova we featured in February this year.
Looking worlds apart from the MPV we’re familiar with, the new Innova has taken on a rather angular appearance, with discernible body creases, a strong shoulder line and an interesting kick-back D-pillar.
The huge front grille contains two chrome bars that intrude into slim headlamps like the new Hilux.

In overseas, Toyota is highly respected. Even in Third World India. But in Malaysia, Toyota now has become a laughing stock. If you buy one, people secretly laugh at you thinking you are the dumbest person in town cause the Toyota is heavily stripped of its safety features. Now somemore, Picanto, comes with 6 airbags and can be safer than a Camry!
Malaysians already now know how Toyota has been cheating people. Until today, even RM150k Camry got no VSC and only 2 airbags. Paultan already wrote long article how vital VSC is 3 years ago and yet UMW don’t care a damn for our lives.
Global price of Camry with 10 airbags and VSC is US$22,000. Besides VSC and 10 airbags, the global Camry has about 20 other safety features that is NOT in our Camry. These features are standard and free on the global Camry.
UMW don’t care about your life. you die or vegetable, they don’t care, janji untung lebih. they take out safety features to save cost. Yet, they charge us 3x the global price of US$22k. We buy for RM180k a heavily stripped down car. Same with Altis. Same with Vios.
Worse still, it is CKD and Made in Malaysia. The price is even cheaper. If US Toyota is sold at US22k and still make a profit, you can bet that UMW will get this car at country distributor price of US15k. CKD it, it will be US$12k (about RM40k). But they sell to Malaysians for RM180k.
Camry Hybrid even better. US$26k. Come to Malaysia no tax. But sold for RM175k despite being CKD and stripped down heavily in safety features.
We already order 100 units. Perfect car for our business. No need to modify. Just take out the chairs and seats and already can put a coffin inside.
Thank you UMW!
Innova gotta go India to “find” market, hahaha… No choice, because is too ugly
People laugh about Toyota being a Moving coffin. This Toyotaik really looks like a Hearse car. I think Nirwana Memorial will order 10 units to carry coffins
Toyota, please safety first yeah…
This innova look like its gonna have high bodyroll,
VSC is important
Good job toyota, u create another eyesore design.
As I always say, you won’t go wrong with sushi cars.
Yup! Can never go wrong choosing overpriced cars that are an utter eyesore with no safety features.
I will happily drive a crappy Toyota, because when the car skids out of control the high resale value will save me.
Ugly… hope they will put in 2.5L diesel

China car wannabe, the new Easter is a better doppelganger than this Innova.
I suggest toyota should introduce this model with the camouflage on… Its hideous!
As long as its not a kimchi it will have RV.
Unfortunately, the closest to the Innova for kimchi is the Starex and Stavic, both of which cannot be traded in anymore
Tested on Mysore highway , soon it will cause Your-sore to Malaysia buyers (pun intended)
I don’t understand why people still insist on 6 airbags, vsc and such safety control for this car. Since this is going to be used as hearse, people on board this car has already died, so Toyota is smart to just equip the airbag for the driver.
Another overrated piece of sh*t from toyota!!
In India, “they” will equip this thing with new generation GD engine + 6-speeder. Safety wise also so-so same goes to Malaysia. Differ only in powertrain. For 2.0L, the fc turn out to be unbearable. The cc is not the culprit but the weak power-to-weight ratio is. That’s why Exora top this thing. Torque is the king. Didn’t expect Toyota to bring the “fuel-saver” engine here in Malaysia. Not applicable for Hilux and Fortuner. Hate the saying, “If its not broken, why need to replace”. Refer to Stone-Age-4-Speeder. Comfort wise. Yes it is real comfortable even for long travelling. Less bouncy not like everyone claimed. No horse-riding. I’m not BStting. No lie just the TRUE experience. The only turn off is the bad bad fuel consumption. Finally, its your choice and your money. If you live for people acceptance, you’ll die from their rejection.
I love this swaying MPV, making me sleepy on highway.
