2024 Toyota Innova Zenix Q Hybrid Review - The Previa we have at home

[@ngajr7185]

Finally received our Zenix hybrid after 5 mos waiting. Very quiet, love it.

[@tommanalactravels]

How much the down payment and monthly?

[@ngajr7185]

[@gregsantos9731]

If Toyota made it lithium-ion and stay with that price sigurado waiting line would be super long but of course that's dreaming, anyways, with paddle shifters, 16 to 19kpl, 23 on the highway, captain seats, 186hp. sulit na din. Nice review Boss Vince.

[@luzemmanuelluz5]

It would be nice if TMP releases a Zenix variant with bench seats at the second row.

[@giltempest633]

Agree bro like the exterior and interior design of the zenix hybrid is good but that 2nd row captain seat is just not it for we are 7 people and i dont think 3 people at the 3rd row will fit my family. This will just be a 6 seater car.

[@arnoldferrera1185]

Yes, Its more practical. And panoramic moonroof what ever it is.

[@francocagayat7272]

What if they put a diesel on it once again? a 2.2L D-CAT CRDi with 190 PS (Lexus 22d diesel as it was called)

[@francocagayat7272]

let it have more variants to choose from: -2.0G gas manual -2.0G diesel manual -2.0V gas CVT -2.2V diesel automatic -2.0Q eCVT PHEV Hybrid

[@francocagayat7272]

​@giltempest633 and assemble it locally here in Philippines too once again like the previous generations

[@michaeledward876]

Most hybrids today don't have full size spare tires on account of the battery taking up space. The zenix does. You have to point this out, stress the advantage.

[@sor3n_1]

Zenix Q Hybrid with bench seats in the second row would be an amazing deal

[@victorsarmiento9146]

Trimmed down na naman. yung Q variant sa Thai/Indonesia may pano sunroof na. Dito ang mahal na nga wala pa rin. Hehe.. I feel like it’s time to avoid Toyotas nowadays, dahil sobra na rin ang greed ng local distributors/dealers. Ang ibang brands 6 months to 12 months na interval ng maitenance sila 3 months pa rin. Haha.. I know it depends on the oil pero tatakutin ka sa warranty. Not to mention they’re way overpriced for the quality/feature they offer. Although TNGA is the best thing Toyota did in recent times. But that’s about it.

[@CustomGorillaxMotorBradix]

I'm not a fan of the captains chair and CVT, but the wheels are lovely. I hope they'll also bring the 8 seater innova to maintain the spirit of the innova badge, just like in the indonesian market.

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Conservative si Toyota sa specs and features, but never sa price.

[@burningbernie]

Sa Pinas, we always seem to get the raw end of the deal. With the hybrid variant we get nickel hydride battery whereas the rest gets lithium ion, we get the FWD instead of the 4WD, then the CVT instead of the eCVT, Then often with lower engine displacement. Tapos mas mahal pa! Compare it to other countries in Asia and other car brands it's across the board.

[@mark_u]

All Innova Zenix/Hycross models around the world are FWD-only and have the NiMH battery, which Toyota is says is better suited to "hot weather conditions," shared by the countries where this vehicle is sold in. All Toyota hybrids also use an eCVT, which automotive journalists often fail to mention correctly. Only part we're getting the short end of the stick is that Toyota isn't offering 8 seats with the hybrid.

[@mcappperspective6099]

It would be hard for Toyota Phil to get rid of their diesel engine cars since we brought cars not all for personal use but for public utilities as well and more so our public roads are prone to floods. Thus, I think electric vehicles or hybrid cars would be a challenge here to be durable and reliable like the old fashion diesel engine cars.

[@Dexter-A]

Sana may variant na bench yung 2nd row imbes na pilot seats

[@timtamoti]

NOt available in most dealership... kung meron man, 1 unit for a month. Why? and also why did not release with the moonroof, other countries have the trim with the moonroof

[@carlislejoaquinsantiago1241]

I will tell you why. They put no sunroof due to the pricing if they actually put a sunroof. It would cost 2m+ if there was a sunroof. And that would cost way too expensive for an Innova in the Philippines.

[@francocagayat7272]

can i wish this for the new Zenix? -2.0G manual gas -2.2G manual diesel -2.0V automatic gas -2.2V automatic diesel -2.0Q eCVT PHEV Hybrid

[@Jon_3023]

Is it true the AC comes from the electric battery, at least when it's not empty? At least for the Prius it is so I am not sure if Toyota's US hybrid tech shares the same hybrid architecture as Toyota's ASEAN hybrids. Thanks for the clarification.

[@wonskrad7240]

woaah. that 3rd row is impressive. whats your height Vince?

[@cgfit5182]

I'm also interested on this one. His height.

[@ramonchitocortez3531]

great review Sir, can you please review the Kia Seltos SX Variant because you are so detailed in your review. Kudos to AutoIndustriya.

[@tetetcastaneda808]

am i the only one to notice that the wheel size appears undersized for the vehicle and seems asymmetrical

[@joshuareyes4154]

wheels are really undersized. most owners change wheels

[@wheeleep4587]

EV users now in china are finding out that replacing their car battery cost more than the car itself since ev's in china devalue much lower than their gas counterpart. Price range from P300K to up to P1.8M! that's really crazy! Question is, how much would it cost to replace the battery of the Zenix after 5~8 years or a certain km range?

[@marilouvelez5]

Hi asking where this com in Philippines 🇵🇭?

[@hamandpao1842]

Not sequoia more on a highlander. Too expensive despite AFTA , JPEPA , etc TMP bring in the one with the 2nd row bench and study the pricing

[@j0vlad]

More practical than the RAV4 because of the three rows seat but they need to upgrade the hybrid battery to a Li-ion one.

[@marilouvelez5]

How much the coast this enova

[@francocagayat7272]

more affordable variants, a diesel and a manual soon please 🙏

[@donkenethmanalastas9788]

Do we have a variant here with sunroof?

[@renzettgarcia9693]

None

[@GS-sh4kb]

is the non hybrid underpowered?

[@fullbass1426]

Not at all. But its gonna drink alot of gas when you push it as compared to the old diesel.

I will go for the Custin over this. The ambient light looks cheaply installed, very off-putting. The color looks outdated too.

[@rcaibergyeson1]

More like the big bro of Toyota Rush esp at the back.

[@juanicofernandez]

This looks super expensive and dated compared to the chinese. Toyota really need to step up their game.

[@CrossCuntyRic]

Hybrid system alone is a step up compared to its Chinese counterparts with tiny engines.

[@AlekseiValkov]

​​@@CrossCuntyRicAre you sure about that? Lmao The budget shitbox MG3 hybrid retailing for 1.09m outputs more power than this and is also a series parallel hybrid, while also giving you an actual lithium ion battery.

[@victorsarmiento9146]

I liked Toyota but it’s really tough the defend them now. They’re really competitive abroad.. I mean just look at their cars there. there’s something really wrong with Toyota Motors Philippines I guess. Sobrang mahal, pero sobrang baba ng offering. The only cheap Toyota you get here is a Daihatsu. Not the TNGA. Anything about TNGA is stripped down and overpriced.

[@juanicofernandez]

@@victorsarmiento9146 Same thing with Hyudain and KIA

[@AlekseiValkov]

@juanicofernandez BYD Sealion launched just today, with much more power than this and pretty much full featured. It's a 5 seater, but the price speaks for itself.

[@pinoychiggatrades2523]

Custin is the way

[@francocagayat7272]

Pls put a diesel and a manual to it once more Toyota

[@abneraclan2159]

When you inspect the Chinese brands in the showrooms and then move over to the Japanese brands like to toyota , the japanese looks bone dry. However, since you can only afford one you are hesitant to gamble on the Chinese brand. Maybe in 5 years time , China will rule the market. Supply chain for parts and after sales support will stabilize. For now pass muna. Kahit nakakatemp na.

[@GS-sh4kb]

is nickel better than lithium battery?

[@stephena3900]

lithium is better that nickel, small and lighter and tends to discharge less than nickel

[@KaisiirFlynn]

Nickel is an outdated material for batteries. You know, typical yota charge you more for less.

[@stephena3900]

@@KaisiirFlynn yes, in some markets Toyota uses lithium while here we get nickel thanks Toyota Philippines 😂

[@kenneth5769]

NiMH will survive better in PH weather compared to lithium.

[@migzc3604]

@@stephena3900 Lithium Ion can hold more energy, but is very sensitive to temperature and it’s hasn’t been around that long to prove its long term durability. Ni-MH has proven reliability. And Toyota is all about that. Hence there’s nothing wrong with them using Ni-MH. IMO it’s more suitable for Philippine climate.

[@paopaofdg]

Still skeptical about these hybrids in the long term because you're now maintaining 2 engines

[@troy5568]

The electric battery engine will not need much maintenancing, if at all, aside from keeping the battery safe and secured. Besides, due to hybrid cars' regenerative braking capabilities, you are putting less wear and tear on your brakes, which further prolongs its lifespan, and requiring less maintenance as well.

[@rodrigocasimbon5242]

@@troy5568how will regenerative braking heip the battery? Batteries starts degrading the moment you use it!

[@deathbyxenon6082]

Still skeptical if in the US and Canadian market most of their Toyota hybrids last for 10 plus years?

[@migzc3604]

The only thing you need to maintain on your battery is the fan filter. Keep it clean and unobstructed, and you’re good to go. Old gen Priuses in the US can easily reach 300k miles before the battery may start to have problems. Take note, “MAY”. So as long as you maintain it, it’ll last a very long time. The car already paid for itself in terms of gas savings.

[@asrockrpg]

INNOVA ZENIX is the descendant of the original TAMARAW.

[@Mabrook2024]

The zenix has a horrible seat configuration. Specially the front seats, where it hits the console box lid. Too tight. The okavango offers a more relaxed, ergonomic and comfortable seats all around. Its night and day difference. Trust me, i own both.

I don’t really like cvt, in fact I hate it!

This is eCVT, not the same as your mechanical CVT with belt and clutch. Educate yourself.

eCVT is a Planetary based gear set. Not even close to traditional CVTs not to mention extremely reliable.
