Is the Toyota Innova Still Worth Buying in 2022?

Everyone picks affordable yet worthy stuff in a world where earning money and paying bills is not easy. Maybe not for all, but for most of us who wake up to burden ourselves in return for cash. Aside from paying mortgages, rent, food, clothing, electricity, water, and all other needs, we wish to save up for at least an affordable car. A car that would be beneficial for us and will be an answer primarily to our transportation needs. But how do we gauge whether we are on the right track in picking the right budget-friendly car?

Who will use the car, and for what reason?

We all have objectives in getting the perfect vehicle for us, but for a typical Filipino, it's most likely a family car. A vehicle that is spacious enough to accommodate the whole family, and at times, including the extended family. That is why Toyota Innova is a popular choice in the country for those who want an accommodating cabin at an affordable price. But what does the Toyota Innova offer in return for more than a million pesos?

Aside from affordability and spacious cabin

Although we already know that its Php 1,186,000 to Php 1,774,000 price tag is a catch compared to its rivals in the market, the Toyota Innova still has other strong selling points. One is that it has a reliable engine that can take a heavy load while cruising on a long highway. Its 2.8-liter turbo engine can make up to 174 ps and 360 Nm of torque which can do the job effortlessly. Paired with its 6-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission, there is no reason to doubt the cruising power of the Innova. Plus, its performance is more remarkable because its engine is diesel-powered; the torque kicks in as if you are driving an SUV.

Okay, the engine takes up some pesos, but what else does it have to offer?

To compensate for its nod-worthy performance, Toyota equipped the Innova with the latest Toyota Safety Sense, with innovations to help drivers and ease the passengers from too worrying. That is a big deal as we all know that safety is the most important thing, especially for our family.

But that's not all. On top of affordability, spacious cabin, superb performance, and reliable safety features, the 2022 Toyota Innova have advanced tech features that fit everyone. Its features depend on which variant you choose. Another good thing is that Innova comes in a wide selection of variants that everyone can choose from depending on their liking and needs. And oh, I almost forgot that it is one of the most fuel-efficient MPVs you can have today! Just worth it!
