As for the Innova, I don't like how it looks (let's leave it at that so we don't offend any owner who might be reading this )

We've already ruled out bigger SUVs like the models you mentioned models since she finds them too big and cumbersome to drive daily.
Why not the Ecosport? It is like a raised Fiesta thus providing higher ground clearance. If the Ecosport is still small for you, you can choose from the ASX, XV, Sportage, or Tucson as they are priced about the same as the HRV. With a few thousand more, you're now looking at the Forester, CX5, X-Trail, CRV, Escape, or RAV4.

Yes, the Innova lacks styling and fares low in aesthetics but it does make it up much better in its usefulness. Other brands are playing catch-up but Toyota clamped down on the MPV category with the Innova.
