The Innova EV has the potential to be a great choice for fleet car owners
Toyota pulled off a surprise at the Indonesia International Motor Show in Jakarta by showcasing the Innova EV concept. Based on the current-generation Toyota Innova Crysta sold in India, the Innova EV gets some EV-specific design details visible in the first set of pictures from the event.
Does the Toyota Innova EV look different?
As mentioned above, the Toyota Innova EV showcased at the Indonesia International Motor Show is based on the current-generation Innova, which will soon get replaced by an all-new generation version of the MPV. While the Innova EV shares its overall design language and silhouette with the current-gen Innova Crysta, it has some highlights which instantly make it look like an electric vehicle.

For instance, the front profile of the Innova EV. While the EV gets the same stretched headlamp units with projector bulbs, the headlamp housings have blue-coloured highlights on their upper and lower parts.
The electric vehicle gets a closed grille, at the centre of which sits a Toyota logo with blue highlights and a sleek looking strip running above it. There is an additional sleek-looking horizontal line at the bottom, which acts as an air vent. While the fog lamps have triangular housings like the regular Innova, they are body-coloured now, while the lower part of the front bumper looks different.

The side profile of the Toyota Innova EV looks the same as its ICE equivalent sold in India, with design highlights like chrome finished door handles and rearview mirrors. This version of the Innova gets different looking six-spoke grey alloy wheels, unlike the multi-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels in the ICE Innova.
But it does not look very different from the standard Innova Crysta
The rear profile also gets subtle changes, such as blue highlights around the tail lamps and Toyota logo, a clear-lens effect for the entire tail lamp assembly, gloss black boot lid garnish between the tail lamps and chrome highlights on the rear bumper reflectors. The boot lid also gets an ‘Electric’ badge on the right side of the boot lid.
Innova EV gets a similar cabin
The cabin largely remains the same
The cabin layout of the Toyota Innova EV looks the same as that of the ICE Innova, with an all-black finish in combination with a faux wood finish across the dashboard’s width and on door panels. There are a couple of additional changes, like an array of switches in place of a traditional gear lever and an updated instrument console with an eco meter.
It continues to get the 8.0-inch infotainment system as well
Toyota is yet to reveal the powertrain details
The charger plug is located under the fuel lid
For the time being, no. Toyota hasn’t revealed any details about the battery and electric motor powering the Innova EV. Also, given that a new-generation Toyota Innova is already under development, this Innova EV might not enter the production floors. The Innova EV is present at the Indonesia International Motor Show to gauge the customer interest in the vehicle.
