Pros

It is a generously spacious car.

First on the list, the Toyota Innova is a generously spacious car. Among all multi-purpose vehicles available in the market, the Innova has the most spacious cabin. Measures 4,735 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width, and 1,795 mm in height, the Innova is fit for families, friends, and businesses.

The new version is taller and longer than its previous version.

Given that the Innova is a spacious car since its first launch, this year’s version has gotten taller and longer. It gives the passengers more headroom allowance and commodious legroom situation, which provides a more comfortable ride.

It has comfortable seats.

Toyota Innova comes in fabric covered seats with bolstering which provides comfort to its passengers. Its top-of-the-line variant, the Toyota Innova V, comes with more comfortable second-row captain seats. This seating arrangement allows third-row passengers to easily access the back without folding the second-row seats.

The 2022 version comes with a more stylish exterior.

Updated from its previous version, the 2022 Toyota Innova has a better-looking exterior. The style is up to date with the current trend.

It comes in a wide range of options.

Just like other car models, Toyota Innova comes in flexible variants. Prices differ depending on the features, finish, and capabilities. For the 2022 version, you can choose from 6 available variants.

It is an affordable car.

Despite the Innova being a massive type of car, comfortable, and packed with different features, if summed up, it turns out that somehow you get your money’s worth.

It is easy to drive.

The Toyota Innova is easy to drive and handle according to its users. It pulls effortlessly the heavy load the whole vehicle can accommodate.

It produces above-average power.

The Innova is a multi-purpose vehicle, and you can’t expect it to perform wildly like some sport utility vehicles. However, it has the power above expected for the type of engine it comes with.

It has a fuel-efficient engine.

For a vehicle that can accommodate a huge family with lots of cargo load, the Toyota Innova does an impressive fuel consumption saving. It can pull through arduous surfaces, regardless of the weight it holds.

It provides a massive cargo space.

One of the best features of the Toyota Innova is its generous cargo space. By default, its cargo space has a capacity of up to 300 liters. If third-row seats are folded flat, you can have 758 liters of space. While if second-row seats as well are folded flat, 1,128 liters of cargo load can fit in the Innova, which is good for transporting luggage or other cargo items.

Cons

Its engine tends to be noisy at times.

The noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) insulation problems are some of the complaints Toyota has been getting for the Toyota Innova. Although the Innova is a comfortable car as a whole, its passengers are not satisfied with its low-performing insulations, which somehow gives an unsettling and unfocused ride, especially for the driver.

Its safety features are automotive’s standard.

The Toyota Innova comes with several standard safety features that will protect its passengers in times of road difficulties. It also features safety assistance for drivers for safer driving. Although Innova is already great in providing safety, it doesn’t step up its game and has a lot of catching up to do with its competitors in the market.

It lacks tech advancements.

For a best-selling car, the Toyota Innova doesn’t have much to boast about in providing innovative features and functionality advancements. It offers some of the industry’s standard features, it is limited from the infotainment system to safety innovations. Nevertheless, it is a best-selling car for what it is.

It has grown expensive.

The first launch of the Toyota Innova was a total hit, and one of the reasons why is its affordability. But as the years went on, Innova has grown expensive. It is still an affordable car; however, not how affordable it was back then.

To sum up, the Toyota Innova has been a best-selling car for its overall style, comfortability, and performance. This model may have some cons on the list, but it provides satisfaction to automotive customers.
