Toyota Innova


Toyota Innova was launched on May 2005. This is the latest in the range of Toyota people movers known as the IMV platform. IMV stands for International Innovative Multipurpose Vehicle. Toyota created this platform when they realized their people mover vehicles in most countries were looking pretty dated. Most of you might have already heard of this model as it’s pretty hot in Indonesia as the Toyota Kijang Innova. It’s a true 8-seater model unlike most 7-seater MPV. There are two models available, the 2.0G and the 2.0E. Both models come in either 4 speed automatic with ECT or 5 speed manual versions. The Toyota Innova is powered by a 2 liter 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC VVT-i engine which is good for 100kW (roughly 135hp) and 182Nm of torque. This is an improvement over Toyota’s previous flagship budget people mover the Toyota Unser which only has a 1.8 liter engine with no variable valve timing.

Toyota Innova is the most successful MPV of Indian market but its facing a huge competition from other companies like newly launched Maruti Ertiga and Nissan Evalia which.The new version of Innova will really help in its sale.
