Verdict
At RM93,691 versus RM111,622, the AN40 is the cheaper route into an eight-seat Innova, but the AN140 Facelift justifies its extra spend for family use. It gets a six-speed automatic, seven airbags and stability control, plus a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty. Its 137 hp and 183 Nm are only marginal gains over the AN40’s 134 hp and 182 Nm, so outright pace is not the reason to upgrade. The AN140 Facelift is the better new-versus-outgoing buy; choose the AN40 only if the manual gearbox and lower entry cost matter most.
Pick the Toyota Innova AN40 if you want the lower-cost eight-seater and are happy to drive a manual.
Pick the Toyota Innova AN140 Facelift if you want seven airbags, stability control and a six-speed automatic for family duty.
