The official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries is just Innova.

Powering the Innova is either 2.0 liter 1TR-FE VVT-i, 2.7 liter 2TR-FE VVT-i gasoline, or 2.5 liter 2KD-FTV D4-D common rail variable geometry turbocharger Diesel engine.

The Innova is also sold in India (replacing Toyota Qualis), Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Unlike some of the Innova's competition, such as the Hindustan Pushpak and the Chevrolet Tavera, the Innova looks more like a minivan — in fact, its styling can be said to be similar to Toyota's other MPV offerings, namely the USDM Toyota Sienna and the Toyota Previa. In addition, the Innova was designed to be affordable, not expensive as the other MPVs in India.Also the Toyota Innova is available in the UAE and Vietnam .
