Toyota Innova [2013-2014] User Reviews

his unmatched expertise and experience has been combined with a deep understanding of what owners look for in their cars to giva shape to a never-before automobile, The Toyota Innova. The Innova is a result of a unique process that has broken new grounds in the way automobiles are created, airport transport, car hire, auto hire, coach rental services, the Innova brings together qualities never before seen together in an automobile. Fantastic ride quality and luxury coupled with versatile space; superior performance and driving pleasure with world class safety, advanced styling with solid durability.

Innova can be the car of owners pride for its design, comfort, safety and its new innovative features. It has accommodation capacity for eight people.

Its trend setting design include sporty and curved mono form design, cutting edge aerodynamics, 3 dimensional front, panoramic windows, semi concealed wiper, etc. Interior of this car is also equipped with surrounding cabin, shift6 and rear console, door bottle holder, mobile charger, glove box, better cargo space, two tone relaxing color interior, adjustable passenger's and driver's seats, saddle type headrests, chrome plated door inside handle etc.

Exterior of this car include fog lamps, rear lamps, 3 dimensional grille, superior multi reflector headlamps, towering height etc.

Safety features which always give security to the owner of the car include load sensing promotion valve (LSPV), GOA body, SRS air bags (driver and passenger side), large Disc Brakes, Theft Deterrent System (immobilizer) etc.

As a product from Toyota, innova offer certain standards. It is spacious, powerful and economic also. In Higher verients the interior are up to mark. On road it is like a cruisor slipping over water ( Thanks for its coil spring suspentn) . It is so powerful and easy to drive.

One problem with it is to guide it in a city traffic. The wind sheeld supprting beams are too thick and it create a lot of blind points when we take curves.

Another problem with this MUV is its air intaking. The last row passengers will demand for A/c. A/c is not power enough to cool the last row( Back a/c dects compulsory). 

Overall, compared to Scorpio ( less legroom at back), Endevor ( bulky), Chevy ( costly) Innova is a sure bet.   

The Brand Toyota Speaks for itself. Be it performance, styling, driving comforts, Space; nothing can beat it. It is spacious and some raw power beind the wheels. You cannot speak about mileage on cars of these kinds, as they are used instead of using 2 small cars.

The car is perfect of indian roads though it is a little long it handles it self very well. The EPS is very sensitive and can take sharp turn When compared to other cars. The Innova's Aero Dynamic Styling, the interiors and the drive is execellet. Of course, the Ford Endeavour can beat the Innova in most of parameters, but not everyone can afford one. Hence the T Innova stand a better chance overall.

Its simply a great car for large families. 😎 Can easily accomodate 6-7 people. I love the car. The spacious interiors do not leave you claustrophobic after a ride, which happens sometimes in other SUVs and smaller cars.

I personally feel it is a very stylish car, very different from other cars in its category and helps one make a style statement. I love it best in its gray/ash color model. The interiors too are great and very comfortable. If you go for a picnic is this car, you can have a mini picnic on the way while you drive in it 😊.. That the kinda car it is. Thanks you. Hope this car wins again this year in this category!!! All the best INNOVA..

Exterior

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Performance is too good...

Ride Quality & Handling

 Difficult to drive on bumpy and muddy roads like Manali and Shimla.

 Drove for 4500Km in a week with out any issues.

Final Words

 Best while driving on National High Ways...

I am getting a mileage of around 12KMPL at 60,000KM of drive of my car which I feel is quite reasonable with AC on.

Best for a family of 5 to drive comfortably where we can rest and sleep in the car for a while with 5 ppl with luggage for 5 ppl with out a carrier on the top.

Rear shocks can be made better.

Areas of improvement  

 Ground Cleareance can be made abit high.

I have driven my car to Shimla, Manali and Kanyakumari, It;s at the best when driving on a 4 lane..

National high ways , but on bumpy roads it's very difficult to drive.

Especially on Shimla to Manali road...I felt it's was too pathetic to drive Innova on those roads...

Flexibility to open windows at the back seat, like they provide for Xylo or Travera would be nice.

Since ppl feel like vomiting when they are seated at the back due to bad smell sometimes.

Exterior When we Talk @ exterior everyone will see its Colour, I bought the Silky Gold the Razor Looks Gives Unbeatable Looks, It give quite good Impression if you attach Body Colour Front Bumper and Window Visiors of Black Colour over that..Please donot go other accessories as dealer quotes were very high if compared with market product quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) If we talk about the space, Its like you the Interior designer of Car has made this car design with exact measurement, Exteremely spacious and easy to move Inside Out from any corner or end.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear Box is right on place and operates very ease like butter, I mean if you ride in city you will never feel like you are drving such a big engine and MUV. Performance is always compared with Efficiency and 2.5 Litres of engine  transmit almost all power through its Train to your wheels. Handling means steering is Out of world.I Like this elephant to ride on NH4 but after Kolhapur as roads were made to drive in control and with speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is offcourse I defined it as Drive Muska on oil.

Final Words I suggest whoever looking for family Car and like to drive such big engine.Go blindly for this expensive gift and you will surely came to conclusion why this elephant is expensive.

Areas of improvement Price Reduction is only area which will also attract a common man.

Thnks.

The exterior design is orthodox but suits the MUV. Any more or less detail would have made the car look terrible. Not really aerodynamic as well. Poor default headlamps(50/60w) for its size. No external accessories comes with the package. It costed 17.5 lakhs on road in chennai and the additional accessories costed around 40k. Overall you wil have to spend atleast 18lakhs in chennai.

Comes with a fabric covered seat and if you want something like rexin or leather you will have to shell out another 10-50k depending upon the material you choose. Comes with a touch screen dvd player which supports phone, media players and also USB. Touch is poor and the stereo has no remote. Big letdown. Seating comfort and the space provided is very good. The Auto-climate control is something to cheer about in the otherwise not so cool interiors. It supports a rear camera where you can only basically see your bumper, very annoying. Last but no the least, the gauge is well lit and looks beautiful, while the steer mount controls are not well placed.

The 2.5L engine gives out 103 PS power which is pretty good doesgreat job except for the loud noise. Extremely reliable. Economy is really poor, gives about 10/13kmpl (city/highway) with the driver alone and with full capacity gives 7/10kmpl. 

The ride quality is super smooth and adapts well to rocky terrain thanks to the leaf springs. Steering the vehicle is very easy and feels like your riding a small car. Gear is well placed and looks more sporty and shifts well too. Poor braking though.

Innova is a great car for those are a fans of toyota and wouldn't mind wasting a lot of money on an overpriced vehicle.

There is a lot to improve starting from the brakes to the overpriced cars. Taking advantage of the market is not going to help in the long run. I'd rather prefer a Ssanyong Rexton over Innova . I must admit i regret getting one.
