Toyota Innova 2.0X gets captain seats, LED headlights; 7 airbags standard across updated range, fr RM108k

UMW Toyota Motor has announced a new variant for the Toyota Innova in Malaysia, which is now open for booking. The new 2.0X becomes the range-topper in the Innova line-up, and joins the existing 2.0G AT and 2.0E (MT and AT) variants.

The 2.0X shares quite a bit of equipment and features with the 2.0G, albeit with some new items to mark it out as the top variant. For starters, there are now LED headlights to replace the halogen reflector units, as well as larger alloy wheels compared to the 16-inch set found on the 2.0E and 2.0G. You’ll also notice the 2.0X gains a bit more crossover styling compared to other variants.

The big change on the inside are the two captain seats in the second row instead of a bench, effectively making the 2.0X a seven-seater rather than an eight. There’s also leather upholstery for the seats, an upgrade from the fabric ones on the other variants, along with a six-way powered driver’s seat (still manual adjustment for the front passenger).

As the rest of the kit list is identical to the 2.0G, you’ll still get plenty of “satin gold” and glossy wood trim on various surfaces, an automatic air-conditioning system, Optitron instrument panel with a 4.2-inch colour TFT-LCD multi-info display, foldable seatback tables, dual-zone ambient lighting, reverse camera and an eight-inch DVD-AVX infotainment system.

Besides the introduction of the 2.0X, the rest of the Innova range also receives an update, with seven airbags, VSC and traction control making their way to the 2.0E. This brings the base model up to par, in terms of safety kit, with the 2.0G and the new variant (along with a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating). Customers will also have more optional accessories to choose from, with a digital video recorder (RM636) and panoramic view monitor (RM2,650) being new additions.

Prices have also been revised slightly for the Innova, with the 2.0E (MT) being priced at RM107,800 (previously RM105,800), the 2.0E (AT) at RM115,800 (previously RM113,800), and the 2.0G AT at RM123,800 (previously RM122,400). All prices are on-the-road without insurance, and include a five-year/unlimited mileage warranty. The company will reveal the price of the 2.0X soon.

      Captain seat is the seat Captain Kirk sits on when he is on board the Enterprise… sits behind the main navigator and just look and directs the journey… not he main driver but the second row individual plush seats.

      by research, diesel is not popular among MPV buyers – especially family owners. toyota in indonesia has a huge market – abt 1 million new cars every year and toyota alone is taking about 400,000 units of the cake.

            Jepunis? Innova wasn’t even sold in Japan. Technically it’s not a Japanese car, rather an Indonesian vehicle. Sticking a Toyota doesn’t made the Innova and Avanza a Japanese vehicle.

    Couldn’t understand why our consumer mindset really needs a 2-2-3 arrangement. A 2-3-3 is the better option in terms of practicality. When you need to ferry 5, the last row is needed. Probably in a lot of people’s mindset a 223 means I am in a Vellfire, I am rich.
    But then, what I can agree with a lot of people here is that, umw should put in a 2.4 diesel as an option to attract more buyers. A diesel is more fuel efficient.

      No man. i still prefer 2-2-3 seating position. Mainly for safety for immediate evacuation purpose,just in case of emergency.So there is atleast some space for 3rd seat passenger to evacuate for any accident.

      1. Easily go in and out
      2. Won’t trouble mom or dad when busy driving on raining
      day to help kids to tumble the seat.
      3. 2nd row passenger are much more comfortable

    Hi Nissan 2 Toyota, i have owned the previous Innova 2009 – 2013 and now the new Innova bought in Jan 2017. Dimension wise, the current model longer 6″, wider 2″ and taller than the old one. Ride quality of the new one better as it absorbs road undulations and shocks better. Cabin noise intrusion lower and generally this car is now quieter. The old model has poorer ride quality as the springs are harder. Handling wise, the older model is better than the new one due to older model’s stiffer setup. I prefer the ride quality of the new one as it glides over bumps and potholes effortlessly, quietly and without shocks going thru the car. Power wise the same as old despite a measly 1Nm increase in torque and 3hp more than the old engine; hardly any diff. Seats are better padded and more comfortable. Speeds exceeding 150kmh and it feels floaty. Could be due to the OEM tyres. I dislike the auto headlights cos it drains battery if you are in the dark (headlights come on automatically) and you dont start immediately. Then and now i am driving the manual. Better control on economy and better pickup over the auto. Lastly, i urge Toyota to provide a diesel option using the Hilux engine. This Innova is just underpowered resulting in high fuel consumption. Toyota should know an 8-seater must be powered by a turbo diesel plant or at least a 2.4 petrol NA engine.
