September 15th, 2016 06:01 PM #527Got this MPV two weeks ago, Innova 2.8G AT to be exact. Here's my take:
Never rode the previous generation so I can't compare the handling, power & efficiency. But it rides well, NVH is good, power is definitely there & no complain on efficiency as I averaged 12-15 kms/l on mixed city & highway driving. Design is subjective but the interior is miles ahead from the previous one. In fact, with the fancy autoclimate controls, the interior looks much better than the current Fortuner (G variants). With a tall ride height & length that is longer than the previous Fortuner, it still drives like an MPV rather an SUV . The 2.8L engine seems quiet but you can hear the sound when you try to be aggressive. But the sound is not destructing, at least from the inside. No complaints on the instrument panel, the seats, center console, the leather-wrapped steering wheel & the audio/video system. The extra lighting on the ceiling adds some class & the airplane-like back trays with cupholders are very helpful.
What's not so good?Here:
-At 205/65/16, the wheel-tire combination is on the small side. The now smaller Rav4 has even bigger tires. It looks awkward. That's the first thing to be replaced.
-The handbrake, likewise, looks cheap & small for such a huge car.
-Speakers, despite 6, sound tiny.
-Horn sounds like it is made for the Wigo.
To summarize, at P1,349,000.00, you may wonder if it's better to get the Fortuner or MU-X as others say. Those SUVs may be bigger in dimensions but the Innova is roomier & more powerful. If hauling a family is a priority (like me), the Innova fits better. Not only that it has better interior than both the mid & low variants of the MUX & Fortuner, it's also more practical with its car-like drive. That's probably the reason why Toyota put puny tires, quiet speakers & soft horns.
