The Innova has a much better image more than any other MUV/MPV. The styling cues are nothing more than a mini van, maybe a little sleeker in design. Essentially, a MUV should be able to carry people and loads comfortably and as economically as possible. This puts a lot of restraint when it comes to freedom in terms of styling. But the Innova does manage to break the barrier a little with curves and arches instead of a boxy and brick-like exterior.
The variants on offer are a long list but the engine options are essentially a 2.5l diesel and 2.0l petrol. The diesel generates 102bhp at 5600rpm, whereas the petrol makes 136bhp at 5600rpm. The ride quality is excellent owing mostly to the refined engines. Being a Toyota, the other adjectives you could compliment the engine with would be reliability and efficiency. The engine is tuned to offer good low-end performance and understandably so. This does take a little fun out of the higher gears but the transmission is smooth and precise.
The interiors are roomy and the space offered is really good. The car is definitely on the lengthy side and this reflects within the car as well. The contours and small details are very well thought of and executed. The light shades opted for the interiors are pleasing to the eye. Once inside you are not inclined to race away but a gentle cruise would be better to complement the ambience. Mileage figures stand at 10kpl as an average for the 2.0l petrol version whereas you can expect upwards of 11kpl from the diesel.
