UMW Toyota has launched the Innova facelift to Malaysian market this week. The popular 8-seater gets a host of update to keep it fresh aesthetically. Not to say it need to, as it has no direct competitor in the market, but the styling has start to age a bit, particularly the plain front and rear end.
For the front fascia, the facelifted Innova gets new edgier headlamp, strong central lines on the hood with new hood garnish, more pronounced front grille with Camry overtones and revised bumper fascia design. Overall, it shifted the softie face of current Innova to harder and more solid appearance. The alloy wheel is a new design too.
Other than the hood, there is no further change on the sheet metal. At the back, the sole change item is the rear light with new graphic. The rear bumper is retained though. However, closer inspection revealed slightly different looking license plate garnish, the current garnish has its lower lines swept gradually upwards and has winged-like profile. The garnish we see here has boxier lines. But this wasn't mentioned in the brochure so perhaps it is just angled-illusion.
