Toyota MPV match: Avanza vs. Innova

Toyota MPV match: Avanza vs. Innova
Contents

If you think a sedan is too small for your family and an SUV is out of your price range, an MPV may be the best option for your needs. Because of the functional space that it provides, a multi-purpose vehicle is frequently used as a family car.

Toyota’s top contender in the MPV segment is the Innova, which is proudly made at Toyota Motor Philippines’ manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Since its Philippine debut in 2005, the Innova has undergone a lot of development and modification.

Engine

Under the Innova’s hood is a 2.8-liter diesel engine that churns out a maximum power output of 174ps at 3,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 360Nm from 1,200 to 3,400rpm. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. You can choose between two drive modes: Eco and Power.

If the Innova is too pricey for your budget, an alternative for this is the Toyota Avanza, which is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates a maximum power output of 104ps at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 136Nm at 4,200rpm. The Avanza gets a four-speed automatic transmission.

Interior

Both MPVs have spacious interiors, making them excellent choices for family transportation. Fabric seats are standard on the Innova and the Avanza. The rear seats of both vehicles are adjustable to increase the cargo capacity, as MPVs generally provide vast luggage space.

Exterior

For a bolder and sportier appearance, Toyota has revised the Innova’s exterior look with a new dynamic front grille and striking side turn signal lamps. The Innova also comes with LED headlamps, LED front fog lamps, and daytime running lights for improved visibility. Meanwhile, the Avanza is designed with a Smoke Chrome front grille and LED projector type headlamps.

Safety

When it comes to safety features, the Avanza is equipped with supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags for the driver and the front passenger, while the Innova has SRS airbags for the driver, the driver’s knees, front passenger, and on the side and curtain. Both MPVs come with three-point emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelts and anti-lock brake system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD). The Innova is also equipped with additional safety features such as vehicle stability control (VSC), hill-start assist control, reverse camera, and clearance and back sonars.

2021 Toyota Innova safety

Both MPVs maintain their family-friendly reputation by including child restraint system features like Isofix and tether anchors. The Innova and the Avanza also use the Toyota Vehicle Security System (TVSS) to keep the vehicles safe from burglars.
