Toyota Innova Special Edition (2011) Updates

Friday, 21 October 2011 07:34 PM In October 2011, the facelifted Toyota Innova was introduced in Malaysia, offering three variants: the 2.0E manual, 2.0E automatic, and the top-of-the-line 2.0G automatic. The updates include a new front grille and bumper, revised side protection moldings, and new 15-inch alloy wheels. The interior saw changes like a new 4-spoke steering wheel and dark wood trimming for the 2.0G version. The engine remained the same 2.0-liter inline-4. I believe the new alloy wheels and steering wheel design enhance the overall driving experience.

Friday, 21 October 2011 10:21 PM Safety features in the 2011 facelifted Innova varied by model, with only the top-of-the-line 2.0G model in Malaysia coming with two SRS airbags for front passengers. The lower variants had only one driver airbag, which was seen as a bit lacking compared to other vehicles in the market. I believe dual airbags should have been standard across all models for enhanced safety.

Friday, 21 October 2011 11:52 PM The interior updates of the 2011 Innova facelift included a revised dashboard with a more horizontal orientation, separating the center console into upper and lower zones. The 2.0E model had redesigned control dials for easier operation, and all models got a new 4-spoke steering wheel. I believe these changes made the interior more user-friendly and modern.

Friday, 21 October 2011 04:59 PM The pricing for the 2011 facelifted Toyota Innova in Malaysia was set at RM97,500 for the 2.0E manual, RM102,500 for the 2.0E automatic, and RM110,600 for the 2.0G automatic. These prices were for private registration in Peninsular Malaysia with metallic paint. I think the pricing was competitive given the updates and features offered.

Saturday, 23 July 2011 09:11 AM Although there was no immediate launch in India, the 2011 facelift of the Toyota Innova was expected to be unveiled at the 2012 Auto Expo. This speculation hinted at Toyotas strategy to introduce the updated model to the Indian market, potentially bringing the same exterior and interior updates seen in other regions. I think this would have been a great move to keep the Innova competitive in the Indian market.

Saturday, 23 July 2011 09:31 PM In terms of market speculation, there was anticipation that the 2011 facelifted Innova would perform well in various markets due to its updated design and features. The vehicles reputation for reliability and spacious interior were expected to continue attracting buyers. I think the updates were well-timed to maintain the Innovas market presence.

Friday, 22 July 2011 12:16 PM The 2011 Toyota Innova facelift, unveiled at the Indonesia International Motor Show, features minor but notable design upgrades. The exterior changes include a new grille, headlamps, front and rear bumpers, and tail lamps, all of which align with Toyotas new design philosophy, similar to the 2011 Toyota Camry. On the inside, theres a new multimedia display unit and a revised center console without the wood finish around the AC vents. I think these updates give the Innova a fresher look without straying too far from its original design.

Friday, 22 July 2011 10:30 AM The 2011 Toyota Innova facelift in Indonesia included several trim levels, such as the J, E, G, V, G Luxury, and V Luxury specs. These variants offered features like captain seats, making the Innova more versatile and luxurious. This range of options catered to different consumer needs, from basic to luxury. I think the addition of captain seats was a smart move to appeal to a broader audience.

Friday, 22 July 2011 07:11 AM The engine of the 2011 Toyota Innova facelift remained unchanged, with the 2.0-liter inline-4 engine producing 136 PS and 182 Nm of torque. It was mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Despite the lack of engine updates, the reliability of the existing engine was a strong selling point. I think the proven reliability of the engine was a key factor in its continued popularity.

Friday, 22 July 2011 05:37 PM The 2011 Toyota Innova facelift also saw changes in the rear design, with a redesigned tail lamp cluster featuring three sections instead of the previous two. This minor update contributed to the overall refreshed look of the vehicle. I believe the new tail lamps added a touch of modernity to the rear.
