yes i think it has a multi information display because such a thing is shown on their thai or malaysian website.

Akshay1234 · 27th January 2009, 13:18

@dilipkumar7278
it probably will be there. if you had read the full thread you wouldve read someone mentioning that it probably would be included.

thirdly todays the 27th. its getting launched tomorrow.

sam003 · 27th January 2009, 14:39

Got a Call from Galaxy here in Delhi for tomorrow launch at 4-6pm at there showrooms.
One good thing price is unchanged as off now.

Old wine in new bottle according to me. God knows if Toyota will charge a premium for this version

Ash-NewCar · 27th January 2009, 15:38

In Mumbai too it will be launched tomorrow, but the time has not been decided yet...

I am excited to see the new car, but the only thing is that for the current version i am getting a 1L discount which wont be extended if I go for the new version..

Not sure how sensible would it be to go for the new car...and loose the 1L in turn..

Which version were you looking for, if its G4 it doesn't worth wait, as it has new grill, new front and back bumpers and motor operated side view mirror controls. Rest all is same

If you are considering V version then it worth new model at same price which toyota is offerering.

Just saw the image posted by sidindica. The headlamps are now looking out of place. They could take new lamps from newer Wish or some other Minivan, but with the new grille, these headlamps are looking out of place.
The new bumper looks like it was lifted from Corolla Altis straight. Good bumper design for sedans, but not good for MUV. May be they are taking a cue from Xylo and targeting the sedans.

I am still confused whether is petrol coming with AT or diesel coming with AT or both coming with AT. As far as my knowledge goes, this same diesel motor produces 26 kgm of torque for international market and mostly its matter of ECU upgrade. So is this also coming as a surprise or just old wine in a new bottle stuff ? I hope they bring in the updated ECU and then Innova will be even better in what it does best.

Hi Friends

Today evening I checked out the facelifted Innova but sadly they only had the G4 variant,major changes are in the V variant.Three new colours have been introduced-greyish black,silver and bluish silver.Dark black and silver have been discontinued.I'm posting some of the pictures which I took unofficially though the launch is tomorrow.

nawabnabeel · 28th January 2009, 00:59

great work. Nice pics

Prices are supposed to go up by 30K as per Nandi toyota here.

Maybe its just me, but the sedan type front bumper and grille does not suit the Innova. The greyish black color does look good. Throw in some good chrome alloys and it'll really look bling.

nishant_kingpin · 28th January 2009, 02:04

I don’t see why the firm should highlight this as a face lift and why all of us should waste time on speculating where the output looks like a quickly conceived shoddy job. Hope the market begins teaching some of these so called giants a lesson (I say this even though am a committed Toyota Fan). The Pics shared by NBR gave some hope which now seems to be shattered.

Anyways we will accept anything that comes with a swank logo, so am sure this is gonna sell too. Sincerely want Toyota to do more keeping the customer in mind.
