The 2023 Toyota Innova Zenix has been spotted in Malaysia. These pics of the new Toyota Innova Zenix being transported on a truck, by RiderAth, could be a sign that the three-row, eight-seater MPV – which now sports SUV-like looks – is launching soon?
UPDATE: The Toyota Innova Zenix has been launched in Malaysia with pricing starting from RM165,000.
The Innova Zenix, as the latest version is called in Indonesia, made its debut in the republic in November 2022. The outgoing Innova sits on the IMV ladder frame chassis shared with the Hilux and Fortuner, but this new one makes the switch to monocoque construction based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), specifically the GA-C variant of the scalable platform.
At 4,755 mm long and 1,850 mm wide, it’s around the same size as the current car (just 20 mm larger in each direction), but the 2,850 mm wheelbase is pretty long; 35 mm longer than the Proton X90‘s, in fact. Toyota maintained the approach and departure angles of the outgoing model, as well as the ground clearance of 185 mm. The size might be familiar, but the looks of the Zenix is anything but. Looks a bit like a RAV4?
There’s a hybrid version in Indonesia, which consists of a 2.0 litre Dynamic Force naturally aspirated engine with 152 PS/187 Nm, and an electric motor with 113 PS/205 Nm. Total system output is 186 PS. A nickel–metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery resides under the two front seats.
Hybrid aside, the Innova in Indonesia comes with a pure ICE M20A-FKS 2.0L with 174 PS/205 Nm. The NA engine is mated to a CVT and trumps the outgoing 1TR-FE 2.0L in output (139 PS/183 Nm). Prices range from 419 million rupiah for the petrol G (RM128,658) to 601.15 million rupiah (RM184,589) for the range-topping hybrid Q with second-row captain chairs (2-2-3, default is eight seats in 2-3-3).
Sounds a bit like what Proton is proposing with the X90? Yup, but the Geely-based SUV – priced from RM124k to RM153k – is powered by a mild BSG-style hybrid system while Toyota’s hybrid system is a more comprehensive one, a proper hybrid if you like.

Hopefully they will call it Toyota Zenix…short and simple just like Veloz…sounds more upmarket…just drop the Innova…
Fully Agree… Zenix more hi-grass
“Innova” = Ladder frame Hailat
U mean HIGH CLASSIQUE, right?
most important is the pricing.
Mazda CX-8 and Nissan Serena has not been successful.
You are kidding me right? The Serena is literally everywhere
Well literally the only non recon peti sejuk C segment MPV available in Malaysia. :)
Are you came from cave? CX8 is everywhere
CX8 is really cold car. CX8 is also dated
Good looking one, a bit look like toyota highlander. Want to have one, hope no spec down here and there and umw pricing it competitively especially the hybrid one.
So this car is based on TNGA-C but still does not have Toyota’s new infotainment software that has been used on overseas Toyotas? In 2023? What a joke
proper hybrid. but less powerful than x90 or civic hybrid engine.
Fuel efficiency is also a criteria to judge hybrid.

Not bad for 1,695kg carrier
I been following this since its launched in Indonesia and India. It’s perfect for my family of 5.
Sunroof and second row screen I personally
don’t need that.
I like the India specs with second row manual sunshade..hope it’s same here cause the window is big…
Also notice the hybrid batt is place under the front row seat?! I read some review it will not be comfortable for second row passenger.
Engine dynamic force.. totally fine…
Bring in quick CKD…
hybrid? tahniah Toyota. probably will cost RM150k?
Toyota cannot la… all the design how many decade already….see the instrument cluster … see the signal light…. aiyo…..how realiable also no use… but uncle love it…
Reliability never goes out of fashion
first time I here such statement, reliable also no use. You make buying car is like buying groceries innit.
first time hear reliable also no use , beli kereta macam beli sayur ka ini ?
I know this is a mpv but wheels look small compared to it’s size
finally a very fuel saving SUV.

For 100% highway that’s an average fuel consumption, even for non-hybrids.
I will put my money for this car IF it offers same spec as indonesia i.e. Panoramic sunroof, 2nd. Row recline seat, hybrid etc. Hope UMW did not decide stupid decision like the Cross Hybrid here.
No choice but to bring more models in. Those models manufactured in Rawang got so many problems with test rigging, oil filter to name a few and now have very bad reputation.
AhPek. The skirting look so Jinjang.
“Toyota’s hybrid system is a more comprehensive one,”
Because Toyota itself says so? Who’s so naive to believe that “notchgate” liars? ;)
If the comparison is between Innova and X90, put Innova at RM150k and below. You’ll have people going for T than P. P’s pricing is targeting the premium market. Don’t forget to “buy 2 in case need spare parts” (reference to comments in other posts)
Looks better and more practical than 270k Harrier…same 2.0NA DF engine which is interesting
