Teased earlier, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has now announced that the order books have opened for the 2021 Toyota Innova facelift, which will go on sale here in three variant forms. Pricing has also been revealed for the refreshed MPV, which made its debut in Indonesia last October.
The base Innova 2.0E is priced at RM111,622, while the 2.0G goes for RM121,483 and the range-topping 2.0X for RM129,677, all on-the-road without insurance but with the sales tax exemption that has been extended until June 30 this year. There’s also a taxi version of the 2.0E, which is priced at RM97,978.
The MPV has been given styling updates and new features, and additional safety systems are now standard across the range. Exterior changes include a new bumper and trapezoidal-shaped grille with a chrome and black theme as well as new, sharper-looking headlights. The fog lamps and their bezel designs have also been revised, now vertically inclined to better frame the face of the vehicle.
Not much change at the back, with the L-shaped taillights remaining identical to before, with only darkened edges to highlight the clusters. The tailgate trim that bridges the rear lights are now black, and the door mirror covers on the 2.0G and 2.0X now feature chrome housings and integrated turn signals. Elsewhere, the roof spoiler available only for the 2.0X has been reprofiled for aerodynamic improvements.
The 2.0X also comes with additional styling enhancements that are exclusive to it, such as new wheel arch mouldings for protecting the bodywork, new bodyside mouldings and redesigned side skirts. It also gets new dark grey metallic 17-inch alloys.
No change to the powertrain, and so the Innova range continues on with a 2.0 litre 2.0 litre 1TR-FE naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. The unit offers 139 PS at 5,600 rpm and 183 Nm at 4,000 rpm, with power being sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission with sequential shifter.
Inside, the 2.0G and 2.0X are equipped with a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and the screen also serves as a display for the 3D Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) standard on both variants.
The USB ports on the car have also been reworked – all are now fast charging capable, and the front two ports have been repositioned in the dashboard from the centre console panel, while an additional USB port is now available for third row occupants. Other highlights include second-row captain seats, an eight-way power adjustable driver seat and LED ambient lighting.
Safety-wise, all Innova variants are equipped with seven airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with traction control, ABS with EBD and brake assist as well as hill-start assist control. The 2.0G and 2.0X come equipped with a blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert. There is however no mention of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) being on.
Optional kit includes a Toyota Vehicle Telematics System (VTS), which can track the vehicle’s movements using GPS and GSM technology, a wireless mobile charger and front/rear digital video recorders.
Seven exterior colours are available for the MPV. Choices available for the standard range are Medium Silver Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, Phantom Brown Metallic, Silver Metallic, Super White II and a new Bronze Mica Metallic, while the Innova 2.0X gets an additional shade in the form of Crimson Spark Red Metallic. The Innova comes with an unlimited mileage five-year warranty.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
At least come with Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Panaromic View Monitor for both 2.0 G and 2.0 X.
The top specs Innova at 130Kplus HP interest will spiral the cost of ownership easily past the 150k mark.
It seems good times are back..is it so? Or people dont bother,kena covid..let repossesor take lor if cant contiue instalments.
It is a money pit,if u blindly follow others buying cars now,without due diligence.
5 Toyota Cars You Should Not Buy. Scratch That Just Don’t Buy Any Toyota. Period.
Don’t buy any toyota? Did you know that umw toyota are now making their progress for improving specs with better safety for newer toyota models and facelift toyota models as it goes on? Think about it bro
This is not 2013. Toyota cars are safe nowadays with the safety features their cars have. UMW has woken up and changed for the better
(Like) Geely-Proton Okavango x90
(Dislike) Toyota Innova all-variants
You can’t even compare Big SUV vs Normal MPV
These 2 not the same category.
1 is Jeep Cruiser, 1 is SUV.
But well, comparable since same price range.
Toyota all the way
Important is reliability that could run longer
Alamak still no AEB and this is a family car for goodness sake.
Sadly, many don’t have AEB:
1. Innova Jeep Cruiser 7airbags, VSC, BSM, RCTA
2. Xpander Cross 2 airbags VSC
3. BR-V 2 airbags VSC
Copy and Paste II: “At least come with Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Panaromic View Monitor for both 2.0 G and 2.0 X.”
And if you’re wondering why, it’s because that like the Xpander, it doesn’t support AEB functionality because there’s virtually no demand in Indonesia. You can forgive UMW Toyota for this and blame Toyota Astra Motor.
Still no led rear light???
Jeep Cruiser,
Decently comfortable, yet with Jeep endurance Quality.
Good buy. 7 airbags VSC.
Better top up RM15k-20k from the B segment 2 airbags MPV indirect rivals, which all same target family groups.
very nice
Big MPV main for family.
There is little improvement for me
This facelift looks better slightly
amboi no diesel eh? enjin petrol camni x jimat minyak..
Previous gen Camry Engine,
Suitable for family cruising.
Premium carrier, semua pun jimat minyak…
Hyundai Starex MPV ,
Kia Carnival MPV
Mitsubishi Outlander SUV,
TYT Innova Jeep Cruiser/Crossover, tougher yet decently comfortable.
Pickup = Jeep.
Hence the name of Jeep Cruiser famous dipakai @ Thailand, Indonesia.
Comfortable, Balance, Tough, Cooling.
Several differences between this and outgoing model
My grandpa would like that gaudy wood trim.
Timeless beauty
Not a sporty sedan anyway, it’s decent for its price.
Better than plain black in such family carrier/company cruiser
You need that Quality to seek approval from your Father in Law
Very worthy
This facelift just upgraded its “look” ke?. Safety feature should be included. So sad that safety isn’t the priority to Toyota.
Please dont think so much of profit, Toyota. Life matters too.
Buy Toyota better! Good RV! Reliable 2.0 NA engine.. Proton turbo engine are rubbish! Bad RV!
Rubbish ?
Innova 2.0l only gets 155Nm torque at 2000RPM, Exora turbo 1.6l ady pushes 200Nm all the way from 2000-400RPM!!!
Very thirsty MPV!!!!
But reliable and MPV is the most comfortable car
Yes for reliable but comfort from a pickup chassis? Definitely No…. but its very durable for sure.
its a comfortable Jeep Cruiser,
Not definitely, its beyond 2021 Updated Jeeper Hilux Comfort.
if you feel dissapointed with petrol engine lets do a swap engine with 1GD-FTV and then tunned for < 300 hp. Should be the most powerful Innova in Malaysia.
Should bring in 2.4l Diesel version which Indonesia has.Petrol under power
