Despite the lower price, the Toyota Innova XE is not much different from the previous lowest-end version. In the transmission segment, the car retains the old frame while still using a 2.8L turbocharged diesel engine with 174 horsepower, 360Nm and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The main difference between Toyota Innova XE and E is the wheels and lights. The 16-inch alloy wheels were changed to steel wheels, and the included tires (205/65R16) remained unchanged. The LED fog lights on the Toyota Innova E have been removed from the new XE variant.
The remaining safety and comfort equipment of the above two configurations are the same. The car still has 2-zone air conditioning, fabric seats, central touch screen that supports Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 3 airbags, ABS brakes, EBD electronic brake force distribution, VSC balance control or departure assist.
