Toyotas Innova has been the king of the ring for India so far because it had no such big threats to it but the now the arrival of the new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has shaken things up quite a lot. Ertiga is now the top selling MPV of the market and has retained its position since then. The Toyota Kirloskar motors seeing the competition has taken steps against it and planning to launch a mini MUV to take on the Ertiga. But presently the Japanese manufacturer is keeping quiet and just saying that it might take the place for this segment in future.
The Ertiga is now the smallest MPV in the Indian market with length of just 4.2metres which is shorter than that of Toyota Innova and Mahindra Xylo. But still Maruti Suzuki has been able to squeeze in 5seats in the compact MUV and its still was able to fit luggage space in the car. This MPV is spacious enough to carry whole family and slim enough to fit in any parking space. To9yota has lined up lot of its new products for future amongst which there are many which are also targeted to low cost platform targeting emerging markets. Toyota is planning to launch 8new products from its Etios platform. Toyota also does not have plans to build a crossover on the Liva platform in the coming years. So with all the ideas we cannot throw away the fact that the demands of MPV are quite a demand in India and if anyone provides the people with low cost MPVs and enough features in it will surely be a hit.
Diesel powered engine dominates the MPV segment and Toyota does not have any1.4 Liter D-4D turbo diesel powered engine for its products. This also not the first time that we have heard that Toyota is planning to launch a MPV based on the Etios platform right from those days when Etios was launched but previously the MPV market was not so much in demand but when the market for the MPV is in Toyota should definitely think of bringing out something from their stable to compete with this recently launched MPVs .
The only MPV that Toyota has with them is the Innova which is great looks to it with all the comfortable features in the car. The front of the Innova has been given a low angular shape with stylish looking headlamps and they front grille enhances the classy look of the car with added Toyota badge at the front. The side view windows greats a new design which maintains the premium looks of the MPV. The rear tail lamps also get a new treatment to it and a chrome band which also enhances the look of the MPV. The interior of the Innova is up market with nice and comfortable seats and a good leg and head room space inside it. Innova is powered by a 2.0L, 1998cc, 1TR-FE, Gasoline, 4 Inline Cylinder petrol engine with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection that generates 132 PS of maximum power and 181 Nm of maximum torque.
Let’s only hope that Innova plans something quick to beat its rivals who are taking the market with storm with their products.
