Toyota Innova Diesel: Road Test and Car Review

The Toyota Innova forms a very important part of Toyota’s product portfolio in the Indian market. The Innova was launched in 2005 and ever since it has proved itself to be a good performer contributing significantly to Toyota’s revenue in India. Toyota Kirloskar Motors claims to have sold over 4 lakh units of the Innova MPV since the time of its launch. Today, the Toyota Innova is common sight on Indian roads and beyond doubt enjoys the status of being regarded as a very popular and reliable MPV backed by Toyota’s goodwill in India.


The Toyota Innova MPV is offered in 2.5-litre diesel and 2-litre petrol engine options with the diesel accounting for the bulk of the sales numbers. We test drove the 2.5-litre diesel variant which is available in four trim levels with the base E trim (without AC) being priced at Rs 10.01 lakh and the top-end VX trim bearing a price tag of Rs 14.82 lakh (ex-showroom Kolkata).

The Toyota Innova is offered in seven colour schemes namely - Blue Metallic, White, Dark Red Metallic, Silver Mica Metallic, Grey Mica Metallic, Silky Gold Mica Metallic and Super White. The Toyota Innova also comes with a 3 years / 1,00,000 kms warranty.
