      The real surprise though, is not outside. It’s the interiors of this new Toyota that will surprise you the most, Quality and feel never seen in its category. The interiors are essentially walnut finish and the seats are fabric the seats feel especially comfortable thanks to the good lumbar and under thigh support. A very thoughtful feature is the adjustable seat at the back, which can move back and forth. This feature can maximize rear seat space, especially if you are regularly driven around. Pockets integrated into the seats form perfect recesses for the seat belts and their clips to be tucked away. The Plastics used are of very high quality and will most definitely keep rattles at bay. The stereo is placed high for easy access and readability, an important safety feature skipped in most cars. Innovation seems to be the idea behind the entire design and engineering process.

      Very comfortable and less noisynothing

      I travelled many times to long distances. No doubt very comfortable.Still there are drawbacks. one is -- There is no near provision for  AC for back seat unless Full AC is on it is difficult to get AC for back seat , especially in hot summer.Another is handrest for back seater is much lower and persons sitting window sides have to lean on person sitting in middle seat. and also they will have pain in their thighs and legs,  as there is no option for them to lift the thigh a bit.Main suggession is instead of  two head rests another arrangement may be taken up for resting the head for comfort.  

      Good stylish bodyBack side window side seats ..handrest is below. Sitter is uncomfortable

      I was an owner of one.Personally everything, I repeate everything is immaculate & perfect other than its doors, Fenders & rear door which tend to dent easily,either cause they are of light quality material or they lack curves/trims which otherwise make the metal on doors stronger.

      One can hardly find a single innova without a dent on its rear due to the above.If this is adressed by the R & D in a more refined way I personally think no car in its segment can beat the mighty innova.

      Congratulations on launching a face lifted innova with a welcomig CLIMATE SENSOR ETC. Also if the 'G' model can be lauched with atleast 2 Airbags & ABS at a slightly lower price.

      refreshing & spaciouslight metal doors & fenders which dent easily in indian conditions

      First of all, I would like to thank my friends and other Carwale customers who have reviewed my Verna feedback and encouraged me to write about my current cars. Thank you once again.

      I am not a person born with Silver spoon (??)... I am mentioning this because I have been upgrading to new cars every second year (inexplicable for a middle class salaried person). But there are certain things which compel you to take certain decisions.

      I owned a petrol Verna till I decided to upgrade to Toyota Innova. After I made this decision and committed to a fairly large monthly EMI (on loan), I am not feeling guilty one bit. That is the satisfaction I have derived from my Innova. My children are loving it, my parents are very comfortable, my wife feels pampered and I feel completely in control (of the road)

      Now coming to the specifics...

       

      Exterior One of the best designs for a big vehicle. Looks extremely attractive and up market. There might be several Innove taxis on road but still you feel it is still a private vehicle. Toyota does sell White colored Innova's in the higher variants. Good thought. I have fitted a rear spoiler to enhance the looks and bring in more stability. It is really working. The colors available are equally good. For a change a Black colored Innova pales in comparison with light colored ones. Alloy wheels a must to get the ultra good looking Innova. You need not worry about the wide tyres. It already has 205mm wide tyres which is good enough. Do not waste money for those extra wide tyres. It does not make much sense and also it might spoil the looks.

       

      Interior One of the best in class. I tested Safari, Scorpio and Xylo before deciding on Innova. Those vehicles are no way closer to Innova when it comes to interior quality, space and feel. Innova is a class apart. Very plush, roomy and spacious... You might consider some upgrades if you want to feel better. I went for Toyota's leather seats, wood finish on door trims and dashboard, JBL speakers and JVC music system to complete the interiors. It is making me feel rich inside

      Note: All of the above accessories are genuine Toyota and pricey. So please decide based on your pocket size.

       

      Performance The 2.5 lt diesel engine is quite capable to pull 8 people on board. However, the 103PS power feels little less if you are used sedans, like I am. But nevertheless the power is linear and you will not feel any turbo lag whatsoever unlike Safari or a Scorpio. In terms of body roll, it is expected of a car of this size. But again, it is much less compared to other vehicles in this segment probably because it is not as tall as other vehicles in this category. Driving position is excellent, no matter how miles you munch, you feel still fresh. But you might feel frustrated when smaller cars like Swift, Santro overtaking you on highways. As I mentioned before it is little underpowered for its size. But this feature makes it a safer vehicle. Speed enthusiasts will definitely complain!

      Further, city driving is not very difficult as people would assume. However, one should avoid narrow bylanes. Come on! you should respect a vehicle of this size for heaven's sake!

       

      Mileage The most important factor for Indian owners, it is giving me 14.5 KMPL on highways with AC (80% of the time) and 12 KMPL in city with AC (again 80% of the time). Please do expect more from a car of this size and weight (2.3 tons). Some of my friends have got 16 KMPL on highways, might be true!

       

      Price This is the most damaging part of Innova. It is very very very PRICEY to be very mild. With couple more lakhs one can buy bigger SUVs today. To add the ex-showroom you pay a huge amount of road tax in Karnataka (the highest in the entire country). But if you are planning not to change your vehicle for the next 5-6 years and have a bigger family (in today's world anything more than 4 people is a big family) then you should pay that extra money and go for Innova. It is really worth it. 

      Overall, I would say it is a very good vehicle if not the best for an Indian family.

      Exterior Present look is not good. should be made more stylish and in order feel strong similar to Fortuner.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Present interior is OK . Can improve provideing better seat in order to have more comfort. Also more boot space have to made view 7/8 persons travelling in a car. While big family of 7 persons travelling for a holiday, it is difficult to carry minimum required laguage in the vechile.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good fuel efficiancy, no complaints on the performance of engine. suggest to have an Automatic Transmission model availabe.

      Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable driving and easy handling. however, brake system should be improved. Presnt India highways are made to drive an avarage speed of 120 km/hr. Present brake system is not sufficiant to meet the required brake.

      Final Words This is the time to renovate the vechile. Shape should be made strong like fortuner, brake system have to be improved considering the improved road conditions in India.

      Areas of improvement Exterior look, automatic transmition, better brake system.

      Good fuel economy, comfertable journey and a good family carBad interiors, bad look, bad vision on the side while driveingand low brake system

      Exterior LOOKS THE BEST IN ITS CLASS. LOOKS VERY SLEEK YET VERY STRONG.

I HAVE DONE 1 LAC KMS AND NO MAJOR REPAIRS EXPECT FOR REGULAR SERVICE. DRIVING COMFORT THE SAME WHEN I PURCHESD IT IN 2006. I FEEL THE ENGINE IS THE BEST PICK , SPEED SMOTHNESS IS THE SAME LIKE A NEW BRIDE.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox GEAR BOX --- MAKAN HAI BOSS, SMOOTH, EVEN NOW AFTERET  1 LAC KMS I GET 10KMP/LTS IN BANGALORE TRAFFIC HIGHWAY I GET 14 WITH ALL ROW AC ON. ALL I SPEND IS 2.5 TO 3 K EVERY SERVICE ONCE IN 10,000 KMS. ONLY VEHICLE GAURANTEES 3LAC KMS OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE . WHAT ELSE BUY NEXT 10-15 YRS NO TENSION

      Ride Quality & Handling THE BEST, AS SMOTH AS IT WAS 5 YRS BACK.

      Final Words THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY.

      Areas of improvement PLS LOWER THE PRICE.

      Just bought Innova VX on 25.01.2012...was updating myself with new touch screen DVD player in the care & was shocked to see that car only runs video play back in unmoving Car with hand brake on.

      In the whole process we understand Toyota has placed this DVD player just for the convenience of driver sitting at a halt car. If we as a family driving 3 to 4 hours at a stretch & wants to enjoy a movie is not possible, how bad a system you have made. I regret on your thinking, you would have place a screen on the back of headrest or on the roof top. For the safety issues.

      It’s an added feature with no use & just getting some extra money from the buyers pocket. Without letting them know before they purchased the Vehicle with disgusting features like DVD player.

      I was so annoyed to read out in your manual about your product so called DVD Players. Should have been called “For Drivers Use Only”  

      Hope you do look into this matter and replace the better one with a playback option while in motion. I expect a replacement of this product.

      Exterior As we all know, toyota is famous for its aggresive looks and powerfull engines. Innova has proved its road prsence. The new chrome head lamps are great and the new grill too give it a car like look. I will call her " Beauty With Brains "

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nothing more, nothing less, it has all the features a normal human being can imagine. It has top notch in dash dvd player with bluetooth support for you mobile phone for making or receiving calls as well as the music in your phone can be enjoyed with the bluetooth feature. As far as space and comfort is concerned, nothing to say much. Its great.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It has got a powerfull engine, It does not give punch like others but you can feel the power.Even in the city traffic, you need not change the gears much. No doubt,  the other diesel cars have better pickup but they are not good in cities. I will call it an all pupose vehicle .

      TOYOTA WAS WELL KNOWN FOR ITS QUALITY AND ITS SERVICE. BUT NOW I DON'T THINK SO.

      My Innova vane pump had got an oil leakage in 25000 km and when i showed it to Nippon Toyota Nettoor they said that it should be replaced and it can be done in warranty, we trusted them and Toyota.

      Now my vehicle is 62000 km with the same complaint and when i showed them they said that again it should be replaced. I came to know from Nippon Toyota that they only repaired it on 25000 km instead of replacing and they just simply pretend they did so. Now they are saying that if you want, you should buy a new vane pump which cause only 30000. (thirty thousand)

      So dear friends don't simply believe Nippon Toyota.

      Now they are not at all Bothering about the complaint. I strongely suggest Toyota to take care of their dealer especialy Nippon Toyota.

      THE COMFPRTNOW THE SERVICE
