We’ve already caught a frontal shot of the all-new third-generation 2023 Toyota Innova after Toyota Indonesia dropped the first teaser but now it appears that the most important angle will be the one from the top that we've yet to get as the more premium Innova will feature a panoramic sunroof. Toyota Indonesia didn’t mince their words, christening it “the next prestigious crossover,” and while a brightened-up photo of the teased grille and headlights indicate a premium appearance, the features
