Toyota Innova 2020 - 2021
Toyota Innova 2020 - 2021 Overview
The current generation Toyota Innova has a larger dimension than its predecessor. The overall exterior of the Toyota Innova is obviously an MPV, but the styling is inspired by the SUV and crossover models of the Japanese brand.
Dominating the front end of the Innova is a large angular grille and large swept-back headlights. It gives the Toyota Innova a more aggressive appearance that reminds us of the U.S – market Highlander SUV. On the side, it features clean and notable shoulder lines. It has features similar to the RAV4, particularly the near-triangular D-pillars, angular horizontal taillights, and upswept rearmost side windows.
The new Toyota Innova is offered with two engine options. The first one is the 2.0L Dual VVT-I 1TR gasoline engine that creates an output of 136 horsepower and 183 Newton-meter of torque. The second one is the 2.8L 1GD-FTV engine that produces 167 hp and 343 Nm of torque on manual transmission variants and an impressive 171 horsepower and 360 Newton-meter of torque on an automatic transmission.
The Toyota Innova shared the same platform with the Fortuner and Hilux and assembled at the brand’s assembly plant in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
Launch
The current Toyota Innova is the second-generation which reached our shores in February 2016. The popular MPV comes with four variants – the base model J, lower-tier E, middle trim G, and the top-spec V variant. Two engine choices and two transmission options are available in this MPV. It’s either the 2.0L gasoline engine or a 2.8L turbo-diesel engine.
The Japanese brand will later introduce another variant to its lineup called the Touring Sport. The new variant would get the G and E variants' best features since it will slot in between them. The Touring Sport variant also has additional exterior features than the standard Toyota Innova variant, such as body kits and blacked-out wheels.
Toyota Motor Philippines launched the second-generation Toyota Innova with prices ranging from Php 919,000 to Php 1,460,000.
Exterior
Upfront, the Toyota Innova features a multi-reflector halogen headlight except for the V variant that comes with LED projector-type headlamps with clearance lamps and the Touring Sport variant that comes with a smoked multi-reflector halogen headlight.
This MPV comes with a colored-keyed bumper with a rear reflector. The grille, however, varies from one variant to another.
The V variants of the Toyota Innova also features LED fog lights with chrome bezel. Halogen fog lights and chrome bezels are featured in the rest of the lineup except the J-spec that does not have fog lights.
The G and V variants come with grip type exterior door handles with chrome accents. The J and Touring variants only get color-keyed door handles.
Interior
Seven people can sit inside the V variant of the Toyota Innova, while the rest of the lineup has an 8-seater cabin. The whole lineup gets a fabric seating material with varying colors depending on the variant. The interior's primary color is black with silver accents on aircon vents and across the dashboard. The trim of the passenger dash accent will change depending on the MPV’s variant.
Tray tables mounted behind the front seats and captain chairs for the second row are available in V variants. For the G variants, foldable tray tables are available that can be stored away easily.
Overall, the Toyota Innova gets a stylish contemporary interior. The upper part of the dashboard features a flowing shape. The gauge cluster is pretty the same as that of the Corolla Altis. An 8-inch touch screen is available for variants above the E trim-level.

However, the E variant lacks Navigation and comes with only four speakers but still has USB and AUX capabilities similar to other models.
Push-start ignition and automatic climate control are also available in the top variants of Toyota Innova.
Intermittent wipers, along with mist function and time adjuster, are also available in G and V variants that come as standard. The rear wiper is a standard feature in all its lineup, however, it lacks intermittent functions.
Some of the standard safety features in this popular MPV are driver and passenger airbag, child safety locks, ABS, crash sensors, and front and side-impact beams.
