An Adventure for the 2020s?

Will it be sold here?

...Or will it?

Toyota's small MPV range has seen a dramatic change in the past couple of years. Both the Avanza and Veloz have ditched body-on-frame construction and rear-wheel drive in favor of unibody and front-wheel drive platforms. In some

Toyota has been rolling out all-new models left and right as of late. The all-new Innova, the Grand Highlander, and of course, the next-gen Wigo. It doesn't look like it's about to slow down anytime soon, either.

Diesel power lives on in the (old) Innova

The third-generation Toyota Innova is a huge, revolutionary step for the popular MPV. Not only did it trade its body-on-frame chassis for a unibody, it also dropped the diesel in favor of a hybrid. While the hybrid powertrain puts
