Toyota Innova

Toyota Innova
The Toyota Innova is a series of multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Toyota since 2004, mainly sold with three-row seating.
The Innova is the replacement for wagon versions of Kijang (internally known as the Toyota Utility Vehicle), which was also marketed under different names such as Tamaraw FX/Revo, Unser, Zace and Condor. Like the outgoing Kijang, the first two generations (2004–2022) of the Innova are rear-wheel-drive vehicles built on the body-on-frame chassis shared with the Hilux pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV under the IMV project, instead of the unibody construction commonly used by MPVs of its era. The chassis was adopted due to the perceived strength and durability which are preferred by customers mainly in Indonesia. The third-generation model introduced in 2022 switched to front-wheel-drive layout, using the GA-C platform with a unibody chassis. The change was made to make use of the hybrid powertrain (which the IMV platform cannot utilise), and to provide the comfort and efficiency benefits of the front-wheel-drive layout.
The Innova first entered production in Indonesia in August 2004 and has been manufactured in other emerging countries such as India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. The Innova has also been marketed in Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, GCC countries, Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica and Argentina.
The name Innova comes from the English word 'innovate'. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply called "Innova". For the second generation, it is known as Toyota Innova Crysta in India and Thailand. For the third generation, it received another moniker in Indonesia as the Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix (Toyota Innova Zenix in overseas markets or just Toyota Zenix in the Philippines) and in India as the Toyota Innova HyCross and its rebadged version Suzuki Invicto.
First generation (AN40; 2004)
In September 2004, Toyota debuted the first-generation Innova (designated AN40 series) in Indonesia. It followed the 2003 introduction of the Avanza—the replacement for low-spec versions of the Kijang. Badged as the Kijang Innova, the first-generation Innova in Indonesia was marketed as the fifth-generation Kijang to maintain the lineage with the fourth-generation model. It also had a more upmarket positioning than the latter.
Development started in 1999, and was led by Kaoru Hosokawa, the chief engineer and product planning leader of Toyota Commercial Vehicle Development Centre. Targeted annual production in Indonesia was 80,000 units, including 10,000 units for export.
Compared to the long-wheelbase fourth-generation Kijang wagon, the Innova was made longer and wider while gained a more rounded MPV proportions. Its wheelbase also grew by . Unlike its predecessor, the Innova could be equipped with modern safety features such as ABS and airbags as it was designated as a more global oriented model. Other technologies incorporated to the Innova include throttle-by-wire and variable valve timing. It adopted independent double wishbone front suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar and a four-link solid axle rear suspension with a lateral rod.
Depending on the market and grade level, the Innova could be configured as a two-row five-seater vehicle (such as in Taiwan), or a three-row vehicle with either eight seats or a more upscale seven-seat layout with captain seats for the second row.

Second generation (AN140; 2015)
The second-generation Innova, designated AN140 series, was launched in November 2015 in Indonesia. Its introduction follows the other vehicles from the IMV family, the Hilux and the Fortuner, which received newer generations in May and July respectively. The second-generation Innova featured an improved platform and newer diesel engines, with development led by executive chief engineer Hiroki Nakajima. According to Nakajima, the second-generation Innova aimed to be a "crossover MPV", in the sense of combining the essence of an MPV with the "tough, emotional elements" of an SUV.
It is longer, wider, taller, and around heavier than its predecessor. In the interior, it gains larger headroom for the first and third row occupants, and the seating distance between occupants is increased by . It was reported that the second-generation Innova shares "only 5% of its components with the outgoing model, which is, apparently, a few bolts and screws," according to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) director of production engineering, Nandi Julianto. While keeping the same wheelbase as the previous generation, the Innova rides on a revised body-on-frame chassis that has been tweaked with a thicker side rail to offer better strength and structural rigidity.
The second-generation Innova retains its double wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer up front and a four-link with coil spring and lateral rod suspension at the rear. The low end variants rode on 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top-end variant received 17-inch alloy wheels. It could be optioned with seven airbags, stability control, and hill start assist.
The second-generation Innova is fully manufactured in Indonesia and India, and also assembled by knock-down kits in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Markets
India
For the Indian market, the second-generation Innova was showcased at Auto Expo in February 2016. Marketed as the Innova Crysta, this generation was launched in May 2016. Exclusive for this model is a 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV inline-four turbocharged diesel engine. The Innova Crysta was launched in May 2016 as with two diesel engine options: the 2.8-litre diesel and the 2.4-litre diesel. The 2.8-litre engine gets the six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift while the 2.4-litre gets the five-speed manual transmission. In August 2016, the 2.7-litre petrol engine option was introduced, in response to the ban on diesel vehicles with engine capacities over 2,000 cc in Delhi and NCR. The petrol engine is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift according to different grade levels.
Grade levels are G, V, and the flagship Z. In May 2017, Toyota launched the Innova Touring Sport which feature exterior elements from the Indonesian market Kijang Innova Venturer. The lineup received an update in October 2017 with a 6-speed manual transmission.
In 2020, the 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV engine was discontinued for the Indian market due to the implementation of Bharat Stage 6 emission standard. The 2.8-litre automatic variant was subsequently replaced with the 2.4-litre automatic variant. However, the 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV diesel in the automatic variant produces the same torque of that the 2.8-litre automatic produced and the 2.4-litre manual produces the same torque of that the 2.8-litre manual produced. To comply with the Bharat Stage 6 emission norms, the engine is equipped with a DPF + SCR system for exhaust after-treatment and mandates the use of diesel exhaust fluid.
The updated Innova Crysta was launched in India on 24 November 2020, with changes mainly in the front styling.
The Innova Crysta was reintroduced to be sold alongside the newer Innova HyCross in January 2023 with a restyled front end. The petrol engine option and automatic transmission was dropped, leaving the 2.4-litre diesel engine with manual transmission.

Third generation (AG10; 2022)
The third-generation Innova, designated AG10 series, was launched in Indonesia on 21 November 2022 as the Kijang Innova Zenix, and in India on 25 November 2022 as the Innova HyCross. It is rolled out to Southeast Asian markets later, such as Malaysia on 21 June 2023 then Thailand on 19 July 2023 as the Innova Zenix and the Philippines as the Zenix on 22 June 2023.
Built on the unibody, front-wheel-drive-based GA-C platform, it is powered by two engine options: the 2.0-litre M20A-FKS petrol and the 2.0-litre M20A-FXS petrol hybrid engines. Manual transmission and diesel engine options are no longer offered for this generation.
Development of the third-generation Innova was led by chief engineer Hideki Mizuma, which is also the chief engineer for the second, third, and fourth-generation Noah/Voxy, as well as the Sienna and Estima/Previa. The industrial design right was attributed to Toyota Auto Body, Toyota's subsidiary that develops and produces minivan models in Japan.
The design concept of the third-generation Innova was described as an "Innovative Multipurpose Crossover". Similar to the second generation, the concept combines the design elements of a crossover SUV with the interior space and practicality of a minivan or MPV. Toyota shifted the A-pillars further back, while the D-pillars are tilted forward to avoid an orthodox van-like design. The track width is kept narrow to keep its turning radius minimum, which positively affects its manoeuvrability.
With the use of the flat floor variation of the GA-C platform shared with the fourth-generation Noah/Voxy, the third-generation Innova is lighter by compared to its predecessor. The wheelbase is also lengthened by . The length of the cabin was increased compared to the previous generation by to , while the width was increased by to . The headroom is also increased by .
Other additions and changes compared the previous generation include electronic parking brake with auto brake hold as standard, dashboard-mounted gear lever, panoramic roof, Toyota Safety Sense, and second-row captain seats with "Ottoman" leg rests.
