Toyota is familiar with the approaches used to design Mobilio MPV, it is moving on the same lines in terms of vast cabin room, vaster than the current car. The exterior design is a different take from the past, and might have the same grandeur effect as Mobilio.
Innova has ruled the roads for years, Mobilio is a brand new entity, and it will take time to get adapted to a new car, particularly under the current constrained economy.
