Just over a week ago, Toyota completely surprised Southeast Asian car players when it was not clear that they introduced the pure electric version of the Toyota Kijang Innova EV Concept at the Indonesia 2022 international car show held in Jakarta. Vehicles are branched domestically here in charge of development and completely unpublished parameters.
According to the latest confirmation from Toyota with Autonetmagz, the pure-electric MPV is merely a technology test as well as a measure of user feedback and will not be put into mass production. Specifically, marketing director Toyota Astra Motor (Indonesia) said that they do not think the electric Toyota Innova will be a hot-selling project and that the company needs to study more about the potential of electric vehicles in Southeast Asia.
In the comments about Toyota Innova EV on major car portals in the region such as Autocar India or Paultan, Southeast Asian users seem quite curious about the aforementioned version of the MPV. Toyota Vice President Astra Motor admitted that although it could not be realized, Innova EV still did a good job in promoting the image of electric vehicles to users in the region.
The current used Toyota Innova chassis is the familiar IMV detached body frame and does not support any electrochemical technology at all (there is no space for the battery, the position of the electric motor cannot be darkened). advantage). Building an all-electric Toyota Innova, therefore, is extremely laborious and if you want to mass produce 100%, you will have to start from scratch with a different chassis.
Perhaps for the same reason, the Toyota Innova EV is not announced because it makes absolutely no sense and the performance is certainly not equal to today’s “standard” electric cars on the market. The promotional video for the above concept reveals that the vehicle’s operating range per charge is only about 210 km – in no small part because the aforementioned chassis has a large weight and has to carry an additional battery that is not light.
