Six months after it's made its world debut in Indonesia, the all-new 2023 Toyota Innova has finally arrived in Malaysia.

Coming alongside the 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift is the 2021 Toyota Innova facelift, with bookings due to be open for booking in Malaysia later today. Customers are able to register their interest on Toyota Malaysia's website. Based on the Indonesian- and Thai-spec Innova, the teaser pic on Toyota Malaysia's social media pages and website depicts the slight nip-and-tuck the car gets - pretty much a smaller, trapezoidal grille, rear garnishes and different wheels.
