Toyota recently launched the Innova’s top-end model, the Z-Grade. The Toyota Innova top model price in India is between Rs. 9.51 lakhs to Rs. 15.07 lakhs. The new Innova model features some exciting and advanced features and is available in eight-seater and seven-seater options for both Euro IV and Euro III emission standards.
Exterior
The new Innova sports bold, aggressively styled exteriors. The exteriors are quite distinctive and Toyota has given a stunning look to the front grille while the fog lamps feature beautiful chrome lining that deliver a formidable road presence. The side molding looks sporty while the back door sports a glistening chrome garnish. All these embellishments deliver a premium and sleek appearance to the car. The body graphics look contemporary and modish and the muffler cutter sports a chrome finish as well. The rear spoiler has been aggressively designed and makes the new Innova look bolder than ever.
Interiors
The new Innova also boasts of plush and premium interiors which are accentuated further with a stunning wood-finish gear knob. The dashboard is done in wood and looks elegant while the armrest panel also sports a classic wooden look. The seats are designed in sophisticated dual tone color theme and accented with leather trims. This ups the style quotient of the Innova’s interiors to a great extent.
Innova’s sales had declined in the recent times in line with the overall drop in sales in the big utility vehicle segment. This was ostensibly due to the increasing prices of diesel as well as rise in excise duty levied by the government on large utility vehicles which was announced in the budget this year.
With the launch of the Z-grade variant of the Innova, Toyota has made a great attempt to revive the sales of the Innova. Premium interiors, bold rear spoiler and stunning body graphics are sure to lure potential buyers. The new Innova also receives a new infotainment system, well-designed roof-mounted screen and a lot more changes. The car does not receive any mechanical changes. It is powered by 2.5 liter diesel mill which is also seen in the previous versions. The engine is coupled with a five-speed manual transmission.
The number of Innovas plying on Indian roads stands roughly at 4.5 lakhs. By launching the new top-end variant, Toyota would obviously look forward to halt the drop in sales which fell by a staggering 27 percent from April to August. The slide in sales has been for Innova has been steeper than the market average. This lead to the market share of Toyota falling from a top 7.03 percent recorded in 2012 April-August period to 5.44 percent in 2013 April-August period.
The Toyota Innova has been popularly sought by fleet, corporate and the family segment buyers. It comes with top-notch dependability standards and the Toyota QDR promise. The top-end, the Z – grade model gets some futuristic features to improve the driving experience altogether. This new facelift from Toyota looks promising enough with a capability to set the cash registers ringing for the Japanese automaker.
