Overview

Summary

Radiating a more rugged and modern appeal, the all-new Toyota Innova Zenix, officially launched in Malaysia.

The third-gen MPV sports a new GA-C version of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, bestowing a new front-wheel drive system and monocoque body.

Fully-imported (CBU), the two variants (2.0 V - petrol, 2.0 HEV - hybrid) hailing from Indonesia tags at MYR 165,000 and MYR 202,000, respectively.

Prices (OTR, w/o insurance) include a standard five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and a separate eight-year, unlimited mileage warranty for the hybrid’s battery pack.

Five exterior colours. Grey Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Attitude Black Mica, Silver Metallic, and Avantgarde Bronze Metallic.

Note: Zenix in the moniker is to distinguish it as a separate model, an addition to the current local Innova range instead of a replacement.

Now denoted as Innova CG, the existing model still remains on sale with no change in pricings for the two variants offered (2.0 G, 2.0 X).

Front View

Solidly blocky, its silhouette is now characterised by SUV-like proportions as opposed to the previous model’s utilitarian appearance.

The front-end with a shorter overhang (55 MM) gets a new glossy-finished trapezium grille, paired to lower air-intakes. Accentuating the layout are chrome trims.


Rear View

Also with a shorter overhang (25 MM), the rear-end is neat and angular, exuding the most SUV-like appeal compared to the rest of the exterior.

Simple with straight contours, it sees a sportily-sculpted roof-edge spoiler, paired to a black lower bumper cladding. Matching the front are the chrome trim details.
