The Toyota Innova is a car manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Toyota since 2004. It is a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or minivan and mainly sold with three-row seating. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply called "Innova". For the second generation, it is known as Toyota Innova Crysta in India and Thailand. For the third generation, it received another moniker in Indonesia as the Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix and in India as the Toyota Innova HyCross. The Innova is the replacement for wagon versions of

(internally known as the Toyota Utility Vehicle), which was also marketed under different names such as Tamaraw FX/Revo, Unser, Zace and Condor. Like the outgoing Kijang, the first two generations (2004–2022) of the Innova were a rear-wheel-drive vehicle built on the

chassis shared with the Hilux pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV under the IMV project, instead of the unibody construction commonly used by MPVs of its era. The chassis was adopted due to the perceived strength and durability which are preferred by customers mainly in Indonesia. The third-generation model introduced in 2022 switched to front-wheel-drive layout, using the GA-C platform with a unibody chassis. The change was made to make use of the hybrid powertrain (which the IMV platform cannot utilise), and to give the comfort benefits of the front-wheel-drive layout. The Innova first entered production in Indonesia in August 2004 and has been manufactured in other emerging countries such as India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. The Innova has also been marketed in Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, GCC countries, Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica and Argentina. The name ''Innova'' comes from the English word ''innovate''.


First generation (AN40; 2004)

In September 2004, Toyota debuted the first-generation Innova (designated AN40 series) in Indonesia. It followed the 2003 introduction of the

—the replacement for low-spec versions of the Kijang. Badged as the Kijang Innova, the first-generation Innova in Indonesia was marketed as the fifth-generation Kijang to maintain the lineage with the fourth-generation model. It also had a more upmarket positioning than the latter. Development started in 1999, and was led by Kaoru Hosokawa, the chief engineer and product planning leader of Toyota Commercial Vehicle Development Centre. Targeted annual production in Indonesia was 80,000 units, including 10,000 units for export. Compared to the long-wheelbase fourth-generation Kijang wagon, the Innova was made longer and wider while gained a more rounded MPV proportions. Its wheelbase also grew by . Unlike its predecessor, the Innova could be equipped with modern safety features such as ABS and airbags as it was designated as a more global oriented model. Other technologies incorporated to the Innova include

and variable valve timing. It adopted independent double wishbone front suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar and a four-link solid axle rear suspension with a lateral rod. Depending on the market and grade level, the Innova could be configured as a two-row five-seater vehicle (such as in Taiwan), or a three-row vehicle with either eight seats or a more upscale seven-seat layout with captain seats for the second row.

Indonesia

The Kijang Innova was introduced in Indonesia on 1 September 2004. It was initially available in E, G and V grade levels, equipped with either 2.0-litre petrol or 2.5-litre diesel engine. Manual transmission was offered in all grades, while the automatic transmission was only offered in G and V grades. The E and G grades retained three-spoke steering wheel design from the second facelift fourth-generation Kijang and first-generation Vios, while the V grade shared its four-spoke steering wheel design from the first-generation Alphard, facelifted J100 series Land Cruiser and the facelifted XV30 series Camry. In January 2005, the 2.7 V grade was released as the flagship model. It was equipped with a 2.7-litre petrol engine, dual airbags, ABS, seven-seat layout, with no manual transmission option. It was discontinued in 2007 due to low demand caused by its relatively high price. In 2006, the V Xtra grade was released with similar equipment levels as the 2.7 V grade. In early 2007, the engines on the Indonesian market Kijang Innova were updated to comply with the Euro 2 emission standards. It received a catalytic converter and the injection system was changed to a closed loop system. The Kijang Innova also received a front mesh grille. The E grade received rear HVAC outlets, while ABS became standard on V grade. In January 2008, the G grade could be optioned as a seven-seater with the "Captain Seat" sub-grade. The facelifted Kijang Innova was released on 26 August 2008 with updated front bumper and grille design, taillights and bumpers, and redesigned wheels. Two-tone interior colour (grey and beige) became standard. Audio steering switches became standard on V grade. This model also featured automatic climate control and side door impact beams. At the 17th Indonesia International Motor Show in July 2009, the G Luxury and V Luxury grades were introduced as replacements for the V Xtra grade. In August 2009, the petrol-only J grade was introduced as the base model. At the 18th Indonesia International Motor Show in July 2010, the E grade with automatic transmission was released with the same alloy wheel design as the G grade. On 20 July 2011, the Kijang Innova received a second facelift. The E grade received alloy wheels (shared the same design with G grade), while the J grade received center caps. The steering wheel design was changed to one shared with the XV40 series Camry and E140 series Corolla Altis (for G and V grades), while the J and E grades received a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel that was later used on the second-generation Avanza. On 19 August 2013, the third facelift of the Kijang Innova was launched. Changes consist of a larger grille, redesigned bumpers and an updated trunk garnish exclusive to the E, G and V grades. A four-spoke steering wheel and dual airbags are also standard equipment on this model. In August 2014, the Kijang Innova was updated again with the redesigned wheels exclusive to the G, V and Luxury grades (also used on the E grade in some export markets), while the previous wheels used on the second facelift model V grade were installed on the E grade. The Luxury grades were received a redesigned rear body kit.

The Innova was introduced in January 2006. In its first year, the Innova sold 9,934 units with a share of the overall car market of 23 percent, a record in the country.


Second generation (AN140; 2015)

The second-generation Innova, designated AN140 series, was launched in November 2015 in Indonesia. Its introduction follows the other vehicles from the IMV family, the Hilux and the Fortuner, which received newer generations in May and July respectively. The second-generation Innova featured an improved platform and newer diesel engines, with development led by executive chief engineer Hiroki Nakajima. According to Nakajima, the second-generation Innova aimed to be a " crossover MPV", in the sense of combining the essence of an MPV with the "tough, emotional elements" of an SUV. It is longer, wider, taller, and around heavier than its predecessor. In the interior, it gains larger headroom for the first and third row occupants, and the seating distance between occupants is increased by . It was reported that the second-generation Innova shares "only 5% of its components with the outgoing model, which is, apparently, a few bolts and screws," according to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) director of production engineering, Nandi Julianto. While keeping the same wheelbase as the previous generation, the Innova rides on a revised body-on-frame chassis that has been tweaked with a thicker side rail to offer better strength and structural rigidity. The second-generation Innova retains its double wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer up front and a four-link with coil spring and lateral rod suspension at the rear. The low end variants rode on 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top-end variant received 17-inch alloy wheels. It could be optioned with seven airbags, stability control, and

, third, and fourth-generation Noah/ Voxy, as well as the Sienna and Estima/Previa. The design concept of the third-generation Innova was described as an "Innovative Multipurpose Crossover". Similar to the second generation, the concept combines the design elements of a crossover SUV with the interior space and practicality of a minivan or MPV. Toyota shifted the A-pillars further back, while the D-pillars are tilted forward to avoid an orthodox van-like design. With the use of the GA-C platform shared with the fourth-generation Noah/Voxy, the third-generation Innova is lighter by compared to its predecessor. Wheelbase is also lengthened by . The length of the cabin was increased compared to the previous generation by to , while the width of the cabin was increased by to . Headroom is also increased by . For this generation, the Innova is equipped with a hybrid powertrain as an option. It is a fifth-generation hybrid system developed by Toyota, combining the ''M20A-FXS'' engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor and a 6.5- Ah nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery. Positioned under the front seats, the NiMH battery is chosen over lithium-ion due to its better durability in hot weather conditions. Other additions and changes compared the previous generation include electronic parking brake with auto brake hold as standard, dashboard-mounted gear lever, panoramic roof, Toyota Safety Sense, and second-row captain seats with " Ottoman" leg rests.
