The Toyota Innova is one car that has been standing tall in the MPV segment for years now. It will be fair to say that it made the MPV segment popular in our country. But as with everything, Toyota has kept on updating the Innova to maintain its lead. Once again, the brand has decided to update the Innova. However, it will be a major update this time around. We have already seen the Innova in testing, so what engine options will it get? In today’s article, let’s find out the engine options of the 2022 Innova. 

No diesel?

According to rumours, Toyota will not be offering a diesel engine on the new Innova. This development comes in the backdrop of the upcoming emission norms. To compensate, Toyota will be bringing a strong hybrid setup on the new Innova paired with a 2.0-litre petrol engine. This Toyota’s hybrid version will be quite efficient, but will it match the efficiency of a diesel engine? Only time will tell. Toyota can also bring a CNG setup on the Innova to give more alternatives to prospective buyers. 

What else do we know about the new Innova?

The new Innova has been spotted a few times testing in south-east Asia and India. From the spy shots, it is clear that the new Innova will get a more rounded design. Toyota seems to be giving it a more SUVish look to attract SUV buyers this time. There are rumours that the new Toyota Innova will be based on Toyota’s TNGA platform. With this change, the new Innova will be moving to a monocoque chassis from the conventional ladder-on-frame chassis. The new Innova is expected to be shorter than the current model. Toyota will be compensating for that with an increased wheelbase.
