Toyota Innova [2013-2014] User Reviews

Car of 9years with 103,000 on ODO now!

Bought the car in 2005 immediately after the launch. Has never given me any trouble other than periodic maintenance, and replacement of shock absorbers (due to many trips on spoiled Ghat roads). 

Exterior

Is plain looking, though the most recent models have some character. My car has withstood the vagaries of weather very well, though has a tendency to pick up scratches.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The interior is still as solid as new, doesn't even squeak! Plush though a bit plain. I have put top of the line music system and navigation unit. Mid seat houses 3 comfortably.

My kids have enjoyed sleeping in each row for all these years, now they have out grown the seats!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very torquey engine for city driving. However, I wish Toyota had an automatic option. I guess they want to push people wanting automatics to Fortuner.

Gives me 10kmpl in city and about 12 on high way now.

Ride Quality & Handling

Takes bad roads without any complaint. Drives like a car even though it is a ladder frame chasis and rear wheel drive! Can push it around a bit, but certainly not as fun to drive as a sedans.

This car is a mile muncher. Is happy on the highway, and its reliability allows you to take it anywhere. Break distance isn't too good, so got to be careful in high speeds.

Final Words

There isn't an equivalent car in its class or price range. Simply the best to buy for a family. Only crib would be the fuel economy, which is lesser than the rivals like Ertiga/Mobilio etc. But, then their build quality is no where close to this one, as is their weight.

Areas of improvement  

Engine - Noise and Fuel Economy can be improved.

Provide an AT option. 

Super Build quality, Ecnomical Maintainance, Long life, Reliability, SpaciousFuel economy, Noise above 100kmph, Parking in small spaces

Exterior Very tough and good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable, very good combination of light and dark shades of colours inside and us of vrey good material for interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good,  fuel 16.5 km/ltr.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth on roads,  easy to control. Not a very high maintenance required. Quite roomy and sufficient leg space available.  good provisions for a.c blowers.

Final Words An excellent SUV. I love it. specially good for long tours. seats can be stretched to make beds for a better comfort.

Areas of improvement The front corner on the dash board that obstract views from the driving seat. Music system needs to be given by the company for all models of Innova, istead of leaving with the speakers alone, preferably the new soft touch video system. Foldable hand rests recommended in between the seats for a better comfort.

Over all a very good SUV.Nothing in specific

I have purchase this car in 2013 and has run 2,90,000 and stile run like new one and I love it comfort and fuel economy is excellent i love it and it height and base are excellent even on full load the car base is not touching the speed breaker the engine is powerful on full load car and the interior space is very comfortable ...

Riding experience: It is great to drive, the gear shift is good
Details about looks, performance etc: The looks are good,. The interior is good and It gives great elegance both in interior and exterior....

Pros and Cons: Pros: Great comfort for long rides, doesnt feel any stress. It has rear Ac vents for 3rd row as well it is great and the seat can be adjustible and mirrors as well...

FEEL SAFE AS IN MY HOME ON ROAD,ALSO MY KIDS ENJOY THE LONG TRAVEL IN ALL POSTURES WITHOUT GETTING BORED, RIDE IN INNOVA IS LIKE RIDE ON ELEPHANT CAPABLE TO RUN AT HIGH SPEED.MY INNOVA IS MY LUCK

Car is too good... It Was a great experience when I ride this car first time... I fell the power in my hands...it was a great experience....it takes less than 10 sec. to reach 100km/h.... it was beneficial for drivers because it has low maintenance costs....although the Toyota claims that they give 50 or 60% of cost after 5 years... So...it was a good car for middle-class family...it is beneficial too...
