Product attributes
The Toyota Innova is a compact MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota since 2004. It is first produced in Indonesia under supervision by Toyota-Astra Motor since 2004 and has been manufactured in other countries as well. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply called "Innova" (also as "Innova Crysta" in India and Thailand since the second generation).
As with the Kijang, which it replaced, the Innova has a body-on-frame chassis shared with the Hilux pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV under the IMV project instead of a monocoque chassis commonly used by MPVs as due to the perceived strength and durability which is preferred by customers mainly in Indonesia.
The Innova was also introduced as a replacement for the rebadged derivatives of Kijang in foreign markets, including the Qualis in India, the Unser in Malaysia, the Tamaraw FX/Revo in the Philippines, and the Zace in Vietnam. The Innova is also sold in Thailand, Cambodia, Brunei, the Middle East, Myanmar, Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica, and Argentina.
The name "Innova" comes from the English word "innovation".
