Toyota innova - my mate

Exterior Good looks and good paint quality.some panel seem to be flimsy but not troublesome.panel gaps are minimum.the rear is not very exciting but it not boring. i like the side view of the car. Toyota hav done a good job in designing this muv.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious. can seat 8 in comfort. The middle row can accomodate 4 if needed.best third row seats that I have seen.seats offer decent support and you dont feel tired or uncomfortable after 4 hours of drive. Innova lags in features, but have all the necessary ones that work perfectly. The a is very powerful.even with the blower only at the dash it manages to cool the huge cabin.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have gone for a petdiesel tuning box giving me an additional 20 hp.this certainly aids in acceleration under full load where the stock engine would need to be stressed a bit. I acieve a economy of avg 12 kmpl.the least 10.8 (full load and hard acceleration and high speed) the max being 14 (5 ppl on board light acceleration and speed of about 80 kmph.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is good .under full load 8 passengers plus luggage you have got to be more careful for speed breakers and poth holes. The ride improves as the nunber of passengers increase being its best when carrying 6 passengers. Handling is superb for an muv this large.

Final Words A very good all rounder.the size may seem to be large for city but once you get to know the car, its quite easy in the city. It goes through almost every road. Parking sensors are a must and is very very useful.

I have a 2005 model diesel and have installed a petes diesel tuning box and philips 35 w hid for the headlamp.

Areas of improvement More features(not the show off features)but features like tilt and telescopic dteering column, height adjustable driver seat and power outlet for the rear.

Reliability, overall build quality, rugged, powerful, long dist. cruiserSmall tyre size (atleast 16 inch required),
