The Innova has always been a successful product for Toyota. It also happens to be one of those cars that get the most repeat buyers due to its practicality. Even though the Crysta has become more expensive, it is still managing to sell 7-8,000 units per month. Well, that’s more than many popular compact SUVs priced half of it. Here are the main reasons people are buying it.
Pure comfort
The Innova is the perfect vehicle for those looking at comfort. It has a high seating position, acres of head room and leg room and if you opt for the captain seats version, you even get bucket seats at the back. If you are looking at a chauffeur driven vehicle in this price point, the Innova is certainly better than the sedans. This one has more luxurious interiors and drives well too which is a plus point.
Peace of Mind
It is said that Toyota makes cars that you can take with you to your grave. Toyota has always been known to make reliable vehicles which barely have any issues. A regular service is enough to keep the car running. This coupled with low maintenance costs results in low running costs. No other manufacturer offers this type of reliability or maintenance cost in this segment.
Top class service from Toyota
Another reason why people opt for the Toyota brand is the service quality. It is very rare to come across a Toyota customer who hasn’t received top class service. This coupled with the fact that costs of service aren’t high makes for a good ownership experience.
Great resale value
This MPV is an expensive product. The top-of-the-line Z variant will set you back around Rs 20 lakhs ex showroom in Delhi. Don’t worry though, your Innova will retain this value as well when it is time to sell. This means you can sell your Innova at a good price and buy one more Innova.
According to a recent report done by Carwale, the Innova is the king in retaining its resale value. People can get upto 90% of the cost of the car on a 3 year old Innova which is the highest in the whole industry. This certainly gives additional peace of mind when it is time for a change.
Genuine 7 seater that makes it very versatile
There are a lot of vehicles out there that offer 3 row seating. None, however are as spacious as the Innova. The Innova has been built with the purpose of transporting 7-8 people in full comfort and it does the job really well. There aren’t many other MPVs that can boast of offering such space, individual AC controls and comfort as an Innova. The last row can be folded upwards to increase luggage space if that’s what’s needed. Thus in terms of practicality, nothing comes close to the Innova and it is certainly the main reason why people buy it.
