Rumour: Next-gen Innova global unveil on November 23, 2015

The Toyota Innova had been caught testing in India since as early as July 2014 (link). It is likely to hit showrooms in 2016 and will most probably be showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo.

Now, a report indicates that Toyota will be globally unveiling the Innova on November 23, 2015. This unveil is most likely to take place in Indonesia along with the launch of the MPV in that market, as per KompasOtomotif.

In our previous news article, we shared that the current Innova (in its GX trim only) will continue to be sold alongside the new Innova, catering to the taxi market. The new Innova will be restricted to private users for the first one year.

Recently, Toyota imported several units of the Innova 2.4L diesel from Indonesia for R&D purposes. This motor could be mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The next-gen Innova is once again likely to dominate its segment which has gathered the trust of buyers due to its bullet-proof reliability and serviceability. If recent images of the Hexa are anything to go by, Tata seems to have a competent challenger lined up to take on the Innova.
