Toyota Philippines knows best-sellers, and its Innova is one of those that have earned the distinction, lording over its category since 2005. The model practically started the local MPV segment, at a time when its rivals were still hanging on to archaic AUVs.
The Toyota Innova has become a household name
Currently in its second generation, the Toyota Innova continues to share its chassis with both the Fortuner SUV and Hilux pickup, making it a robust competitor both figuratively and literally. It might be the only offering in its class with a ladder-type frame, but the refinements Toyota put in have made the Innova an ideal household hauler.
The 2021 iteration of the MPV introduced considerable changes, from the revised fascia to added safety features across the range. With a lineup pared down to six variants, the Innova will be available exclusively as a diesel for the first time.
External dimensions have been retained

It features multi-reflector halogen headlamps on the fascia, color-keyed door handles on the sides, and rolls on 16-inch steel wheels. There are fabric seats for up to eight occupants on the interior, while a 2-DIN head unit features Bluetooth, USB, and AUX connectivity.

Passenger capacity is reduced somewhat, but only because of the captain’s chairs on the second row. The 7-inch display audio head unit offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while seven airbags protect everyone on board in case of collisions.
