nice pics! the new grille on the innova gives it a sportier look.

nawabnabeel · 25th January 2009, 19:58

The grille looks ALTIS-ish to me.

Nice catch as always sid.
(By the way its too recurring

)

raj_5004 · 25th January 2009, 20:58

the grille is cool and the tail lamps appear good, though straight out of a chinese car.

sadly, the odd headlamps are still present.

lurker · 25th January 2009, 21:30

black colour really accentuates the big chrome grills in this version.
Black will look very bling in this innova.

bhp1 · 25th January 2009, 21:31

Nice spy work Sid, upgrade though minute, looks ok to me.
New color, is it light shade of sky blue? Cool one!

The old grille was a sorepoint in the Innova, looked very bulky and crude. The new grille looks elegant.

From the pics, the bumpers also look new, but I hope that the headlamps get an uplift, the current headlamps has a blackened area which doesn't look good.
Having the multi-reflector clear headlight cluster like the Thai-model would look very good.

nawabnabeel · 25th January 2009, 23:08

what about the xenons? are they present?

speedzak · 25th January 2009, 23:46

Looks good. The family looks and genes are spreading thru out Toyota range it seems.
This will boost the sales of Innova for sure.

Regarding the auto box, it will be a welcome change in India. Many city commuters are buying Petrol Innova. I'm sure some would definitely appreciate it. As well as I remember, Toyota Kirloskar Motors were also producing gearboxes and transmission parts in their Bidadi plant B. Won't it be easy for them to launch an auto version?
Thru out middle east, africa and many far east countries, Innova is available in auto version. I am yet to see a diesel auto though! :wish: :wish:

muneemmk · 26th January 2009, 01:24

Me too wish for an auto version of the Diesel Innova, but the last diesel Automatic that I remember being available under 15 lakhs is the Octavia A/T which is also not in production anymore.

vinaydas · 26th January 2009, 01:43

muneemmk wat about the scorpio mhawk AT its close to 10

muneemmk · 26th January 2009, 02:41

Sorry for going

but never thought about it and nobody in my family likes Mahindra after the Version 1.0 Scorpio that we had once.But the 6 Speed Auto ? There must be some kind of catch when it's priced this low !!! Just My thoughts.

well, its not quite cheap actually, its close to 12 lakhs on-road, for the VLX.

btw you are one among the rare to find the scorpio auto priced LOW, every other person has said that its overpriced!
