Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), the official business unit of Toyota in the country, announced that it will introduce a new model this week based on a teaser image posted on its Facebook page. From the looks of it, TMP is likely to launch the facelifted version of the Toyota Innova on February 20.
Southeast Asian neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia already offer in their respective markets the facelifted version of the Toyota Innova. With that being said, one can expect that it could be the same version that TMP will shortly be adding to its local lineup.
TMP announced that it will launch this new model soon
The most noticeable update in the facelifted version is the new front grille that sports a sleeker and blacked-out design, removing the chrome trims from the outgoing model. The new blacked-out grille is complemented by black fender linings and a lower bumper as seen on the Malaysian-spec Innova 2.0X.
The side and the rear end of the 2021 Toyota Innova still look similar compared to its predecessor. However, the Malaysian-spec Innova 2.0X gets black trims on the rear. As such, the Toyota Innova facelift will still retain its recognizable MPV look only with the addition of the new and more aggressive front fascia. On the other hand, it offers a new and sportier two-tone alloy wheel which we already see in the PH-spec Toyota Avanza.
The upcoming PH-spec Toyota Innova is expected to look similar to this
Inside, no changes are made as well. The new Toyota Innova will still comfortably seat seven people with features such as ambient lighting, a food tray for second-row passengers, and a premium-looking interior layout.
As of this writing, TMP hasn’t shared any details or specifications of the upcoming PH-spec Toyota Innova. Fortunately, the Japanese carmaker announced that it will be launching the new model this Saturday, February 20, via a digital launch.
