The Innova shares the same IMV platform as the mighty Hailak Hilux and Fortuner albeit with only a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) set-up but that soon may change. According to a scoop obtained by OtoDriver, the next-generation Innova could see the venerable Alphard for the masses switch to a conventional front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout.
