Choose Sporty Or Luxurious?
By design, the sixth generation Toyota Kijang Innova has a sporty appearance. It can be seen from the silhouette lines that are more boxy but look more modern than the previous generation.
The wide grille with the large bumper also implies an SUV aura when viewed from the front. Even though when you look to the side it is clear that it is long and its character is still typical of an MPV. The interior also feels quite sporty for a legendary MPV.
Meanwhile, the Toyota Voxy emphasizes the luxury of an MPV. Sliding doors allow rear passengers the freedom to get in and out of the cabin. The boxy body design is indeed not to the taste of many people, but this gives advantages in the cabin.
If the third row of the Toyota Kijang Innova feels less roomy, then it's different from the Voxy. As a boxy MPV this is an advantage because leg and head room up to the third row is still comfortable even if it is occupied by adults. Not to mention there is a small sunroof and panoramic roof in front which reinforces the elegant impression.
Same 2,000 cc but different performance
Turning to the kitchen runway, these two Toyota MPVs both carry engines with a capacity of 2,000 cc. But both use different types of engines. The Toyota Kijang Innova engine uses the 1TR-FE coded engine, while the Voxy 3ZR-FAE.

Conclusion
Both are family cars, but have a different design. The Toyota Kijang Innova Reborn has a legendary name that everyone, even those who are unfamiliar with automotive, are familiar with its products.
