All models are 7-seater, while the 5-seater Livina XR is discontinued and the X-Gear would be released later. The new models have revised front end, front fenders, and rear panels with distinctive tail lights. The Grand Livina X-Gear comes with different front bumpers, black over fenders, black body cladding, and roof rail.

Trim levels for the All New Grand Livina are SV, XV, and Highway Star. All regular Grand Livina models have 1.5 liter motor, while buyers of the 7-seater X-Gear can choose the 1.5 or 1.8 liter MR18DE. The 1.5 liter HR15DE now employs dual injectors & dual variable valve timing control (VTC) matched to 5 speed manual or automatic Xtronic CVT. The 1.8 liter engine retains the 6 speed manual or regular 4 speed automatic.
