Overview

The Toyota Innova is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) from Japanese carmaker Toyota Motors. It was first introduced in Indonesia in 2004 as Toyota Kijang Innova, and marketed in other countries as “Innova” shortly after. Today, the Innova is available in several countries across Asia, including India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. It also has presence in Argentina, Jamaica, Australia, and South Africa.

The first-generation Innova lasted until 2015, with the current iteration belonging to the Innova’s second generation. Toyota first introduced the Innova in the Philippines in 2005 to replace the Revo. The car has since been a household, having topped MVP sales charts over the past few years.

This model has been instrumental in changing the world’s perception of MUVs, which were typically seen as high in practicality but not necessarily attractive. The Innova has been begging to differ by delivering reliability, excellent ride quality, and some premium and luxury elements at the same time. It has built a reputation for being a practical and highly desirable family car in the country.
