The Toyota Innova, a series of multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) produced by Toyota since 2004, features three-row seating and has served as a successor to the wagon versions of the Kijang. Initially rear-wheel-drive with a body-on-frame chassis shared with the Hilux and Fortuner, the earlier generations catered to customers’ preference for durability, particularly in Indonesia. The shift to a front-wheel-drive layout with a unibody chassis in the third generation (introduced in 2022) represents a departure from previous iterations.
