The Toyota Innova is a car manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Toyota since 2004. It is a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or minivan and mainly sold with three-row seating. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply called "Innova". For the second generation, it is known as Innova Crysta in India and Thailand.
It is the replacement of the Kijang (internally known as the Toyota Utility Vehicle), which was also marketed under different names such as Tamaraw FX, Unser, Zace and Condor. Like the Kijang, the Innova is built on a body-on-frame chassis shared with the Hilux pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV under the IMV project, instead of a monocoque chassis commonly used by MPVs. The chassis is used due to the perceived strength and durability which are preferred by customers mainly in Indonesia.It first entered production in Indonesia in September 2004 and has been manufactured in other emerging countries such as India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The Innova has also been marketed in Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, GCC countries, Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica and Argentina.
The name "Innova" comes from the English word "innovate".
