Not a Good MUV-Should have booked Aria

 

Exterior Ok.Tata Aria is better than this van Innova.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are OK.Aria is better in features and comfort plus interior quality.Awkward to compare Aria to the van Innova.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good petrol engine.Fuel economy is good for 11.9 kpl in city and 14.6 kpl but Aria is better in the engine.Gearbox is not too crisp like Aria but just fine.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is more settled than Aria but handling feels unsettled and not easy to drive like a Scorpio.

 

Final Words A big dissapointment buying Innova.I could have bought Safari,Aria or Scorpio.Resale value is good and better equipped than a Bolero but not with six airbags like Aria Pride and no SatNav.Aria or Scorpio or even Safari look more stylish than Innova.Camry and Corolla Altis are better Toyota Products.It looks too similiar to old Innova and in Nov 2010 Auto Car Aria must have won than Innova.Aria has better colour and features and fit and finish and only downside in Aria is Price of 15.50 lakh for top-end Aria Pride.

 

Areas of improvement Looks like a van and make macho like Fortuner.Price can be lowened and the puny 205/65 R15 tyres can be bigger(Smaller SX4 and Linea T-Jet have bigger tyres).

 

Nothing except features and spaceVan-type looks,Price of SUV,Small 205/65 R15 Tyres
