Here are the thoughts of when I drove the Innova by the global brand Toyota. The unstopping comfort level is never
achieved as in Innova. Driver seat too comfort and second row of seat comfort is like sitting on sofa. No doubt the 100 BHP engine is powerful, same as Scorpio. Engine smoothest than others in its segment. Suspension are really effective as you never feel the punch on bottom even if drive on potholes. Even the plastic used are quality ones. The two Ac functions very good that the back row passenger shall never feel 'h' of 'hot'. Innova provides maximum space to the third row passengers. Its bit less in looks if compared to Scorpio, but its length is also something that everyone talks about. Its turning radius of 5.6mts is quite normal for car of this segment. Parking could be very cumbersome heavy traffic roads. Innova use to throw black smoke due to the un-burnt combustion but dealer & company agree and say that it was mainly due to fuel adulteration and they have the changed the software coding with some other minor changes. Now it is up to you to decide, what you would like to do but I feel you should not face this problem. Fuel consumption is about 11 Km/lt in city.

Journey from Toyota to Qualis
The name itself shows that Toyota always believes in innovations and knows how to win the hearts of its customers. Apart from the high comfort level as in Qualis, Toyota has added all the latest technology and intelligent functions. Toyota has used the best parts keeping a point that each and every parts can be utilized. As you put the key in its place, immediately the micro chip will ensure that you are the owner and not a road side thief, such technology provides maximum security to your car and peace of mind to the owner. Its tall and elegant styling as well as rear colored glasses is truly attractive. The tubeless tyres ensures responsive braking even at a higher speed. The common headlamps nowadays available in the Indian market are well designed in it. It easily accommodates 8-10 passengers and provides optimum space for luggage. It takes few minutes to get the atmosphere cool enough to give chilled feeling inside, whereas higher models have three row conditioning with extra two layers of blowers to make it more instant. I would say that its the best car for the cost conscious consumers with best features and facilities. Surely this one gonna also boost up in this festive season as Qualis did before.
