Picture comparo : Next-Generation Toyota Innova Vs Old Toyota Innova

New Innova Vs Old Innova

Front end

There is a sense of familiarity when you compare the new Innova and the current car head-to-head. Everything is there in the same place but now looks a lot more contemporary.  With each facelift, the grille of the current Innova got shinier and shinier  thanks to the increase in chrome. However, this new car moves to a muscular face thanks to the large double slat grille, wide air dam and combination of power lines on the bonnet with the sweptback headlamps. This model will be the first time Toyota is offering projector lamps and LED DRLs as part of the standard equipment.

Side

The side profile of the Innova is perhaps its most famous feature. It is very recognisable and Toyota has taken this into consideration by retaining a majority of it. The design has moved from a rounded one to angular lines in a bid to bring the Innova into Toyota’s modern design language.  Some of the newer features include two power lines, softly flared wheel arches, wrap around tail lamps and a new design for the alloy wheels.

Rear end

Toyota appears to have done a lot of the work on the exterior of the Innova, at the back.  The bumper has become bigger and dominates a significant part of the section. The Christmas tree lamps have been ditched in favour of wrap around units with teardrop shaped elements for the indicators and there is significantly lesser chrome as compared to the outgoing model.

Interior   

The interior of the current Innova has gone through a significant number of updates in its 10 year life cycle with the last one in late 2013 which saw the addition of a touch-screen infotainment system in addition to climate control. They have, in essence, retained the same layout over the years but just added the features. However, this new model gets a much larger touch-screen system, new AC vents as well as controls and higher quality material. The Indonesia-spec car has been trimmed out in black and grey but we are sure to get it in a beige and silver combination.
