2021 Toyota Innova Review - Behind the Wheel

[@kirstiebeau4862]

It may not have the best in class interior, technology, and features, but as a car that moves you from point A to point B reliably and efficiently without falling apart after 100k kilometers, nothing beats the innova in its class. Sure, there are some cars out there that are jam-packed with features with beautiful interiors, but I must say, you will truly appreciate those features if you are on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck.

".... not a rockstar, superstar or supernova... " it's INNOVA! genius script of a poetic review there Caco.

[@erfederizo]

I have 1, and what people who complains about the price don't see is, this vehicle is overbuilt. Things and parts na hindi nakikita ng mga mata unless you meticulously check it, sample nalang pag sinilip mo mga pang ilalim ng innova, lahat ng bushings, ball joints etc. eh ang lalaki, pang SUV/pick up ang size, the cross member and the chassis frame is very thick (alam mong tatagal ng sobrang tagal), yung cross joint nalang niya, kasing laki ng cross joint ng land cruiser, even the engine is overbuilt (you can check it on the web nalang if you want clarity), people tend to look only on the exterior and interior part of the car, pero try to check din yung mga parts na hindi niyo nakikita at first glance.

[@melvinrimorin7840]

Main selling point of the Innova is engine power. It is the most powerful MPV in the country. Displacement makes all the difference. It is essentially a tamed pick-up, tuning wise. 1.5 turbocharged engines can come close but not quite. BUT I find Toyota pricing a bit steep for what they're offering. Of course some safety tech is important like numerous airbags, but those tech, you don't use everyday (or don't want to use for that matter as it equates to accidents). The tech used daily though are just lacking. 6.7" touchscreen? No backup camera for the mid-tier variant? At 1.4M, that should've been standard. The top-tier is what, 1.8M? The "It's a Toyota" monicker will go old soon if they don't try to up their game. At those pricepoints, what will stop people from getting a Geely, a Tiggo, or a Maxus that offer state-of-the-art tech and similar safety features, plus ridiculous warranties? Or cheaper 7-seater options from other Japanese brands with more tech? Parts availability? It has come to a point now that all major Japanese, Korean, and even Chinese car brands have parts available everywhere, even at Shopee, believe it or not. It's not exclusive to Toyota anymore. I am not a Toyota hater. My family's first car is an old Corona. My father is now driving an old Toyota. It is always a brand that's close to my heart. But looking at it objectively, they now need to take a look at their value proposition. Knowing Toyota, they probably would in the next couple of years. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

[@jeloevangelista3982]

exactly, its absurd you have to pay extra 300k for a back up sensor and camera and other aesthetical upgrades which adds very little value for the G a/t variant.

[@happyface96]

It's like Innova is being sold at Fortuner prices, Fortuner being sold at Alphard prices. God knows what the price for Alphards will be?

[@melvinrimorin7840]

@@jeloevangelista3982 My goodness, really? 300k for back up sensors and some upgrades?! That's practically a decent downpayment for a new car. That's ridiculous. 😅

[@melvinrimorin7840]

@@happyface96 Agree. Too expensive for what you get. And we're talking about SRP here. If you buy it with bank financing, it's even more expensive with interests. I can understand the Alphard as it's marketed as a premium vehicle. But an MPV should have a more reasonable price-to-features ratio.

I bought a 2020 Innova E for our family car. Papa driving and me in the front with mama and CM in the middle, all very comfortable. And that leaves the spacious 3rd row if we bring along other family members. More spacious and more comfortable than the Rush or Avanza and with better performance for not that many more pesos and with legendary Toyota reliability and parts availability.

[@theodorusantonio4796]

Do Toyota only relies on their brand and reliability and easy parts in Philippines or any other factor? Cause here in Indonesia they does the same, honestly we are getting tired of lack of comfort and tech they offered, unlike Chinese brands and Korean brands whose catching up very quickly

[@johngo7199]

@@voodoodiecast depends on what you use it for, we removed the 3rd row seats in our old innova to put truck tires with rims (either for vulcanizing or when we buy new ones), even the car before it the Toyota Revo, I'm not sure if those fold flat seats can hold such a heavy load. For us, we prefer the flooring than a fold flat for heavy loads, but in hauling a big light load, like 2 pcs. split type aircon, so 4 boxes, 2 for outdoor unit, 2 for indoor, or a bed cushion, fold flat is better for those jobs, as we can fit more and fir bigger items. So it really depends on what you use it for and which suits you better.
