Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix

The name Innova comes from the English word ‘innovate’. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply called “Innova”. Development started in 1999 and was led by Kaoru Hosokawa, the chief engineer and product planning leader of Toyota Commercial Vehicle Development Centre. Targeted annual production in Indonesia was 80,000 units, including 10,000 units for export.

For the Indonesian market, the model is marketed as the Kijang Innova Zenix. The name Zenix was derived from the English word ‘zenith’, which Toyota stated as conveying “peak performance”, while the letter x represents the word “crossover”. The Kijang nameplate is retained due to its popularity in the country, with Toyota in Indonesia designating the model as the seventh-generation Kijang. It is the first hybrid vehicle and the first TNGA-based vehicle to be produced by Toyota in the country.

Three trim levels are offered for the Kijang Innova Zenix: G, V and Q. The hybrid powertrain is optional on G and V trims and standard on the Q trim. Toyota Safety Sense is also standard on the latter. The Modellista accessories package is also offered as an option for the V hybrid and Q trims.
