The Giant

Toyota Innova belongs to a breed of cars hardly seen in the market. The Innova is the fifth generation of the Toyota Kijang, while the outgoing model, the Qualis is two generations behind. It wishes to combine qualities like space and ruggedness associated with SUV's along with comfort and handling normally seen in high priced cars.

The fact that the Innova is 2 generations ahead of the Quails can easily made out at first glance. The Innovas' contemporary design emphasizes the fact that it is designed to cater to the world market. The Innova doesn't feel like a compromise at all, it doesn't feel like those split personalities we encounter so often with cars in India. The clear ideas that emerged during the IMV project seems to have taken excellent shape, wheel arches are flared, but not pronounced enough to bother you, the car is high enough to dispatch of any speed bumps it might encounter, but well sprung enough that it could attack corners.
