Recently, in order to seize the market, major auto brands have dropped terminal prices again and again, and netizens have really enjoyed watching it, but it is not a good day for OEMs. In order to further squeeze the space, in addition to reducing the price of existing models, some manufacturers have begun to introduce low-cost version of the series. According to the information ahead, Toyota's first low-cost MPV "Innova" will become the first Toyota low-cost version of the series to be introduced into China, and the future price is expected to be controlled within 140,000!

In fact, Toyota's "Innova" is built for the Southeast Asian market, and has been on the market for two years, and the performance of the overseas market is quite good, with a relatively specific user group! The new car is positioned as a cheap version of the MPV, but there is still a clear difference between the whole body and the MPV in our impression. Let's start with the front end, which will have a SUV-like feel, with a wide nose layout that is more similar to the classic Sequoia. The middle mesh adopts a counter-sided design, the elements are relatively rounded, and the built-in fine structure is also handled just right. The headlights on both sides have an obvious sinuous structure, which can still bring a good visual impact when lit. The adjusted front bumper is a guarantee of the power of the whole car.

In terms of dimensions, according to the data given earlier, the length, width and height of the new car are 4755mm/1850mm/1795 mm, and the wheelbase is 2850 mm. Dimensions are not bad, but the 185mm chassis ground clearance is a bit smaller. Coming to the sideways, the new car shows a completely different effect from the front of the car, more like a copy of the Seine. Especially the tail design that is close to the bulge on the tail. In addition, although it is an MPV, this car only adopts the conventional opening method, and it is not a side sliding door. And when it comes to the rear, it brings an unprecedented sense of regularity, so looking at it this way, from the front to the rear, Toyota's car adopts a multi-element composition, which is not common in Toyota in the past.

And when it comes to the interior, I can fully see that this car is still based on practicality. Therefore, there may be some lack in the display of scientific and technological elements. The steering wheel adopts a three-spoke design, and the internal buttons are divided into upper, middle and lower three layers of layout, and the whole practicality is full! The display area is composed of liquid crystal and mechanical, and the middle is a suspended multimedia display, and the position of the gear lever has been improved. In this way, on the one hand, the practicality will be improved, and on the other hand, the position in the middle will also become more regular.

Although it is positioned as a low-cost MPV, it is not ambiguous in terms of configuration, such as the TSS intelligent safety system, which only appears on models over 180,000 yuan, has become the standard configuration of this car. In addition, it is equipped with electronic parking brake/automatic parking, second-row dual-screen entertainment system, electric tailgate, wireless charging for mobile phones, automatic air conditioning, etc., which is enough to make you satisfied. As an MPV, space performance will determine the success or failure of this car, it is reported that the new car will be optional 2 + 2 + 3 type 7 seats and 2 + 3 + 3 type 8 seats two seat layouts. Loading capacity is still the car's biggest selling point.

The new car is equipped with two sets of power, namely a 2.0-liter engine and a 2.0-liter diesel-electric hybrid system. Among them, the 2.0-liter engine has a maximum power of 128 kilowatts, and the 2.0-liter diesel-electric hybrid system has a combined power of 137 kilowatts, and the transmission system is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission. In addition, taking into account the adjustment on the platform, the previous rear-wheel drive has also been replaced with front-wheel drive, and the new car will most likely be built by GAC Toyota in the future, as for the price, the probability will be maintained within 140,000!
