Two variants are up for grabs, and with prices ranging from RM 165k to RM 202k, it's quite a leap from the 'older', IMV ladder frame-based CG-generation Innova. An Innova in name only Despite the Innova nameplate, the Innova Zenix is seen as a totally seperate model from the older CG generation Innova - which will still remain on sale for customers who are looking for something simpler, cheaper, with 'more lo

The next-gen Toyota Innova could see a major overhaul underneath as the current generation is looking to be replaced, having been in production since 2015. The AN140 has seen numerous facelifts in the past 7 years but even dinosaurs have their expiry dates. We expect the all-new third-gen Innova to be launched in 2023, factoring in the typical 8-year model life cycle.

Plans from car manufacturers to launch new models have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and MCO, and some are pushed back to 2021. So here are the cars that will likely arrive within this year after the MCO has been lifted. 2020 Honda BR-V facelift Order books for the Honda BR-V facelift has been opened before the enforcement of the MCO.
