Shortly after teasing the 2021 Toyota Fortuner and Innova on its website today, UMW Toyota has now announced that the 2021 Toyota Innova facelift is now open for booking here in Malaysia. The 2021 Toyota Innova is available here in three variants – E, G, and X – with prices starting from RM111,622 on the road, without insurance, and inclusive of the sales tax exemptions.
First introduced in Indonesia in October last year, The 2021 Toyota Innova update brings along several styling and equipment changes. On the former, most of the updates are reserved to the front end, which sees a new smaller trapezoidal grille to match its other Toyota siblings, alongside a slightly more angular bumper design.
The fog lamp housings below the headlights also now take on a more vertical orientation, while at the back, not much has changed aside from some slightly-reworked garnishes that joins the tail lamps together.
The range-topping 2.0X variant gets several additional styling touches for a sportier look overall. These include new wheel arch mouldings, new bodyside mouldings, redesigned side skirts, as well as a reprofiled rear spoiler, which is said to improve aerodynamic performance.
The 17-inch wheels on the 2.0X also gets a new Dark Mica Metallic finish instead of black on the outgoing model, while the 2.0G gets a “more dynamic” new design, while still retaining its 16-inch sizing.
On the inside, the entire design is pretty much carried over from the current Toyota Innova. In terms of equipment, the nine-inch touchscreen infotainment display, previously introduced on the Innova X, is now standard on the 2021 Innova 2.0X and 2.0G.
The infotainment system comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, alongside a Panoramic View Monitor which has now been updated with a 3D view.

As an optional extra, customers can also include a wireless charging pad located in the centre console.

Other safety equipment – standard across the entire line-up – include seven airbags and three-point auto-retracting seatbelts for third-row passengers, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control with Traction Control, Emergency Stop Signal, and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC).
The Toyota Vehicle Telematics System (VTS), which can track the vehicle’s movements using GPS and GSM technology, is now standard on the 2021 Toyota Innova in Malaysia. In the event that the vehicle is stolen, the VTS Command Centre can determine its location and inform relevant authorities to make recovery faster.
