Our Toyota Innova 2019 Philippines review brought by Philtoyota.com will help you have a comprehensive understanding of this MPV.
For the exterior, Toyota Innova possesses a sleek aerodynamic frame and outline which is distinct to an MPV. While it is still classified as an MPV, the styling of this current model, however, is more inspired by the SUV and crossover models of Toyota.
There's a large angular grille on the front end. Situated on its sides are the big swept-back headlights. It gives the model a more aggressive appearance that gives away the similar look of the Highlander SUV of the American market.
The sides of the new Innova feature prominent shoulder lines and clean lines. The endmost side windows, D-pillars that is almost triangular in shape are upswept, and the horizontal taillights that are angular in shape with prominent corners give this car a similar look like that of the RAV4.

The 2019 Toyota Innova is a perfect car for big families. For a van, the Innova is pretty decent. It has a bit of aggression to it but not so much. The dashboard has a very eye-catching design.
Overall, the Innova will give a very decent drive. The only thing lacking for this model is back up cameras which are a great help when backing up and parking.
For its price, it's unthinkable why this model doesn't have backup cameras which are already a basic feature for entry-level cars today. Toyota Innova is pretty decent car however the pricing puts it in the position where it will be competing against midsize SUVs which have the advantage when it comes to practicality, ruggedness, and aesthetics.
