Facelifted 2009 Innova here in the Phils. already!

[number001]

Its finally here but Toyota is still mum on it because it hasn't been officially launched yet.

I saw Toyota's main spread ad today (Aug 22, 2008) in the newspaper. In one part of the ad extolling TMPI's efforts in expanding its production in the Philippines, an Innova is shown being assembled in their Sta. Rosa plant. To the untrained eye, it looks like the same Innova everywhere. But upon closer scrutiny it is very evident that this Innova is sporting the same new parts spotted on Innova test mules in Indonesia. This is definitely the new Innova.

No wonder as of yesterday (Aug 21,2008), Toyota did not display an "old" Innova in the 2nd PIMS. If they don't truck over this facelifted Innova by this weekend then TMPI might be launching it locally at a later date (hopefully not next year).



(TOP)Scan from Toyota's newspaper ad. Notice the new alloy wheels design. Also notice the masking area in the headlight and tail light area as well as the front and rear bumper area.(BOTTOM LEFT)Test mules from Indonesia for comparison.(BOTTOM RIGHT)Notice the alloy wheel design. This is actually same design found on "V" variant Innovas sold in Thailand, Indonesia, India, etc... It seems new to us, but its been around in other market since the Innova's initial debut three years ago.

come september they are releasing the face lifted hilux, innova, and fort expect 10k to 20k increase in price.

Nice nice!! The rims look suave

So I'm guessing that after they launch it here, the 'all new' bodied variants all the way up to the Fort and Hi-lux line will be introduced in 2-3 years time - typical Toyota fashion

[albriones]

ask lang po ako.. cause were planning to buy an innova... Kailan po ba lalabas ang 2009 innova dito sa pinas?

[wahaha318]

parang same yung alloy wheel design niya with that of the 2009 Honda City....

[ur TOYOTA mp^^]

ask lang po ako.. cause were planning to buy an innova... Kailan po ba lalabas ang 2009 innova dito sa pinas?

probably by october this year.. price increase upto 40k..

[number001]

My best guess, this will come out Dec. this year (bec. Toyota has a promo on their current Innova until Nov 30) or even early next year.

[kumagbehota]

laki naman siguro ng difference sa price ng facelifted at ng luma kung me price increase pa ito, kasi yung luma me discount pa eh, baka umabot ng 100k ang diperensya

[XTO]

by sept daw pati yung fortuner. we've talked with toyota shaw sales agents here last week when they displayed the vios 1.5G at the medical arts bldg. sabi ko pa nga sa isang SA order mo ko ng Fort na 3.0 m/t sa yo ko kukuha he said, mahal na rin diesel sir kaya dami ring naghahanap ng m/t. take note pati yung hi-lux maglalabas na rin daw ng 2.5 d-4d pero sing taas ng 3.0 - pantapat sa strada and d-max.

[albriones]

sana nga it will come out this september, at sana wag na nila paghintayin ng matagal yung mga innova fanatic... calling TMPI, sana ilabas nyo na ang bago nyong Innova, Fort at Hilux...

That's a big AVANZA! Haha! LOL! Nakasmile yung Innova ngayon o...

It somehow resembles the Previa to me. The face isn't very important, what's important are the engines both of which aren't very competitive already nowadays. The interior is still quite good but a better sound system and more toys like DVD players (which are already very common in many of its competitors ) would be very much welcome.

[d4nt3]

Minor interior changes also. The pictures here are from Indonesian G & V models. The SAs I talked to confirmed that these changes will be the same for Philippine models ...









Lighter wood panel accents, darker dashboard design, audio control on steering wheel (G & V models), stereo HU with aux input for MP3 players (G & V models), climate control A/C (V model only) .

[forbiddensmoke]

hmmmmm..... it still looks the same imho... maganda parin...

[wakin]

with the same D4D engine?

[botkaye]

Do they have new colors? Which Toyota branch in Metro Manila have units available? Please let me know asap.

[drey]

Almost the same lang talaga... Counted lang ang changes.
