The new Toyota Innova 2.0X that was announced last month now has an official price. The range-topping variant of the MPV is priced at RM132,800 on the road without insurance, RM9,000 more than the 2.0G AT. The base 2.0E is priced at RM107,800 for the MT and RM115,800 for the AT.
No shortage of equipment to mark out the 2.0X. LED headlamps replace halogen reflector units, and there are LED daytime running lights and LED fog lamps. You’d have also noticed the pseudo crossover styling (adds on front/rear bumper spoiler, overfender, rocker lower moulding and a darker grille) and black 17-inch wheels with 215/55 rubber (205/65 R16 on the G and E).
The star item inside is the inclusion of two captain seats in the second row, replacing the standard bench. This transforms the Innova into a seven-seater, one seat less in exchange for more comfort. The 2.0X gets black combination leather upholstery as well as an six-way powered driver’s seat.
The rest of the equipment list is shared with the 2.0G, which means that one gets a wood trim, front/rear auto air con, Optitron instrument panel with a 4.2-inch colour multi-info display, foldable seatback tables, ambient lighting, reverse camera, leather-wrapped steering with wood trim, easy closer tailgate, keyless entry with push start, and an eight-inch DVD-AVX infotainment system.
For safety, seven airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, VSC and hill start assist are standard across the Innova range, which is powered by a 2.0 litre Dual VVT-i engine with 139 PS/183 Nm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and there are Eco and Power drive modes.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Toyota Innova 2.0X primarily focus on pricing and value, with many feeling RM132,800 is too high for a model with a 139PS engine and basic features, especially considering past lower-priced variants and competition like the Kia Carnival and Honda models. Several commenters criticize the car's appearance, ride quality, and underpowered engine, questioning its safety features and value for money. There is significant disappointment over the lack of diesel options and the perception that Toyota's pricing strategy is inflated, with some comparing the Innova unfavorably to reconditioned Estimas or alternative MPVs. Overall, sentiments lean toward skepticism about the pricing, engine power, and design, with a desire for more features and better value in the segment.
