Toyota Innova: An MPV with an Affordable Price Tag

Ever since its inception 2014, a compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle or MPV that has successfully served international markets like Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and India, has been the Toyota Innova.

The ever-dependable 5-door MPV from Toyota Motors was a hit in the subcontinent, especially in India, where it replaced the Toyota Qualis, and is today a preferred MPV, used as a taxi and as well as the top choice of transport throughout the country especially for 24/7 operational companies like BPOs. The popularity of this vehicle is no less in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Why is the Innova the Best in its Class?

The rugged all-weather MPV with a 4-cylinder, 2.7 litre VVT-i engine revs up the performance of the Innova. The power-assisted hydraulic steering ensures that the driving experience is quite smooth. From factors like price to safety and comfort, here is a list of some exciting features that make the Toyota Innova standout:

1. The lightweight monobox design increases the space inside, and the vehicle can, as a result, quite easily accommodate 8 passengers. The comfortable seats perfectly complement the spacious interiors, thereby resulting in a smooth riding experience for the occupants of this MPV.
   
   
2. The visually appealing exteriors will definitely catch your eye at first glance. The MPV comes equipped with large halogen headlamps and front & rear fog headlamps for better visibility in bad weather conditions.
   
   
3. Chrome door handles and the front grill with silver inserts (STD version) and chrome inserts (XL version) further accentuate the look and feel of the Toyota Innova.

4. A sturdy set of 16-inch alloy wheels ensures better maneuverability of the vehicle and results in a safe riding experience.

5. Other important inclusions from the safety standpoint include the ABS, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), airbags for both driver and the front seat passenger, as well as an extra driver knee protection airbag.

6. Comfort of the driver and the passengers has also been factored into the design of the Innova. There are rear parking sensors to assist in a smooth parking experience. Inclusion of power windows (front and rear), rear side mirrors, front & rear air conditioning, and the elegantly designed steering wheel mounted audio controls (not available in STD) are just a few of the many exciting features contributing to the Innova's comfortable riding experience.

The affordability factor, when compared with the number of available features, is a key reason behind the success of this MPV in most international markets and it makes the Innova a preferred choice in Saudi Arabia as well.
