Toyota Innova electric concept: What is it?

While official details are not out yet, a first glimpse at the Innova electric concept shows Toyota’s intentions for a future full-electric Innova.  The Innova electric concept seems to be based on the current-gen of the MPV which is known as Innova Crysta to us and does not look like the next-gen Innova that was seen recently in India.

The Innova Electric concept, as mentioned above, has the same bodyshell and basic design as the standard Innova however there are a few key differences.  First up, the nose is slightly different with the grille being completley closed off and a slightly altered bumper.  The alloy wheel design is also all new and there is a prominent “Electric” badge at the back which could mean this is a full-electric concept and not a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. 

Going by the pictures published on Paultan, we can see an updated instrument cluster with an eco meter. However, it is not digital, with analogue dials in use. Curiously for an EV, a tachometer is also present.

The infotainment screen displays vehicle information like battery level, available range, speed and currently engaged ‘gear’. The headrests get ‘Innova EV’ badging, while the rest of the cabin remains identical to the Innova.

This is a developing story. More details to follow soon.
