2017 Toyota Kijang Innova 2.4 V wagon (GUN142R; 01-12-2019), South Tangerang.jpg

The Toyota Innova (Japanese: トヨタ・イノーバ, Toyota Inōba) is a compact MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota. It is first produced in Indonesia under supervision by Toyota Astra Motor since 2004 and has been manufactured in other countries as well. As with the Kijang, which it replaced, the Innova is produced and first marketed in 2004 in Indonesia. The Innova is part of Toyota's IMV program together with the Hilux pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is called "Innova" or "Innova Crysta".

The Innova is also sold in India (replacing the Qualis), Malaysia (replacing the Unser), the Philippines (replacing the Revo), Vietnam (replacing the Zace), Jamaica and Thailand. The Innova is also available in Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates. The name "Innova" comes from the English word innovation.

On 1 September 2004, Toyota launched the AN40 series Innova, badged as Kijang Innova in Indonesia. This came after the 2003 introduction of the new Avanza—the replacement for low-spec versions of the Kijang. Thus, the Innova is more luxurious and expensive than the Kijang. The Kijang Innova has a body-on-frame chassis constructed from the Toyota IMV platform, as shared with the Hilux pickup truck and Fortuner SUV.

The Innova was sold in large numbers in India (where it's known as an MUV)- primarily serving the tourist taxi market and fleet operations of large technology business process outsourcing companies. It also enjoyed large markets in Malaysia, East Timor and Philippines. In the Philippines, it replaced the Revo, the name of Kijang in that market.


The Innova is powered by either a 2.0-liter petrol 136 PS (100 kW) 1TR-FE VVT-i, a 2.7-liter petrol 160 PS (118 kW) 2TR-FE VVT-i, or a 2.5-liter 102 PS (75 kW) 2KD-FTV D-4D common rail turbocharged diesel engine. Trim levels are J, E, G, and V. The 2.7-liter unit is only for the V, with automatic transmission.

The 2.7-liter petrol engine was dropped from the Indonesian market due to low demand. The diesel variants use turbocharged 2KD-FTV engine which produces 102 hp (76 kW) and 260 N⋅m (190 lb⋅ft) of torque when mated to the four-speed automatic transmission and 200 N⋅m (150 lb⋅ft) when mated to the five-speed manual. Petrol versions are also available in five-speed manual or four-speed automatic versions. All variants utilise the rear-wheel drive configuration.

In early 2007, the engines on the Indonesian market Kijang Innova were updated to comply with the Euro 2 emission standards. It received a catalytic converter and the injection system was changed to a closed loop system. The Innova also received a front mesh grille. The E trim of the Kijang Innova received double blower air conditioner, while the G trim received 2 DIN CD and cassette player.

The 2008 facelifted Innova was first spotted in Indonesia, and launched in August 2008. It featured a redesigned front and rear bumper, front grille, and rear tail lamps. The V trim use updated wheels, while the previous wheels used on the 2005-2008 model V trim were installed on the G trim. This model also features automatic climate control, side door impact beams, as well as new extras such as parking sensors and an in-dash CD changer. It is on sale in Far East Asian and Middle East markets. The facelifted Innova was launched in November 2008 in the Philippines and on 28 January 2009 in India. In Indonesia, the facelifted versions include the E trim, which now features the parts from the pre-facelift G trim.

On 22 July 2011, PT Toyota-Astra Motor launched the second facelift of the Innova, which is also known as the Grand New Kijang Innova. It featured redesigned headlights, grille, bonnet, bumpers and tail lights. The interior is updated with a new steering wheel, new air-conditioning knobs (for non V variants), and a revised center dashboard. For the Indonesian market only, the V trim used updated wheels (later used on all variants in some export markets), while the previous wheels used on the 2009-2011 model V trim were installed on the E and G trims.

On 19 August 2013, PT Toyota-Astra Motor launched the third facelift of the Innova, which is known as the New Kijang Innova. Changes consist of a larger grille, redesigned bumpers and a new trunk garnish exclusive to the E, G and V trims. A four-spoke steering wheel and dual airbags are also standard features on this model. In August 2014, for the 2015 model year, the Kijang Innova was updated again with the redesigned wheels exclusive to the G, V and Luxury trims (also used on the E trim in some export markets), while the previous wheels used on the 2012-2014 model V trim were installed on the E trim. The Luxury trims were received a redesigned rear bumper. All 2015 models received a new darker Silver Metallic color option.

In India, the Innova is available with twelve variants. Three variants of the Innova come with a petrol engine option which is powered by a 1,998 cc, 1TR-FE, petrol, inline four-cylinder petrol engine with electronic fuel injection. The diesel variants of the Innova are powered by 2,494 cc, 2KD-FTV diesel with intercooler and turbocharger four-cylinder engine. In 2012, Toyota Bharat introduced a new grade "Z" in India which is placed above the VX grade—making it the most expensive trim in the entire line up. The available grades are E, G, GX, VX and Z.

The first generation Innova received an update for the Indian market in 2015. With this update, all variants gained dual airbags and there were cosmetic changes such as the inclusion of dark grey two-tone alloy wheels, wood finished steering wheel, redesigned leather seats, and a new oak interior colour. Rear HVAC outlets were also specified as standard as part of this update.
