Will the next-gen Toyota Innova be called ‘Zenix’ in PH? | TopGear PH

It appears the ‘Innova Zenix’ has already been trademarked with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines. Upon checking online, the name was officially registered way back in September 2022. This could mean that Toyota Motor Philippines intends to use the name for the all-new Innova when it finally enters the market. Not only that, but this might also indicate that the local launch for the next-gen Innova could be happening real soon.

In manner of speaking, it actually never left because the model known as Tamaraw is known as the Kijang in neighboring Indonesia; actually, the model we know as Innova is marketed there as Kijang Innova.

The format of Innova has changed drastically since its very humble and utilitarian beginnings many decades ago. The Asian Utility Vehicle (AUV) was the original designation for models like the Tamaraw with an economical diesel engine mounted onto a chassis with a single row of forward facing seats (not cab-over) and two benches facing inward like a jeepney. This type of vehicle proved very popular in the Philippines, particularly in rural areas; actually it still is popular as “vintage” examples can be seen in the provinces still performing the role of farm to market transport.

As to what exact format the Tamaraw will take is unclear. Maybe Toyota is looking at reusing their existing tooling (if it all still exists) for the Tamaraw with an updated engine that complies with newer emissions standards like what Mitsubishi did with the L300 revival. It may also be possible that Toyota is developing an entirely new model with modern technologies but the same utilitarian principles as the original Tamaraw.

this new tamaraw might actually be called tamaraw innova. Also I'm sure Toyota will use the current IMV platform and it's engines for the tamaraw revival.

Would it be significantly cheaper than the now pricey Innova kaya?

Yup. Sure yan kasi made in the philippines na yung current innova. Konting retool na lang para sa body/cab pwede na.

Or baka yung current model innova ang irebrand as tamaraw then gawin mala FX ang setup

Will the next-gen Toyota Innova still be made in the Philippines? | TopGear PH

Toyota Indonesia says the Innova will be exported to Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. On top of that, the company says it will maintain its position as one of Toyota’s main exporters of electrified vehicles.
