Innova Diesel salesman stops production: Consumers are looking for gasoline cars

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Toyota will reportedly not resume sales Innova diesel engine in Indonesia. This Japanese company has chosen to replace it with a petrol variant with hybrid technology.

The new Kijang Innova which will use the Zenix name will be launched on November 21, 2022. This car will also be Toyota’s first hybrid product to be produced at home. What will happen next to the Innova diesel in the used car market?

The owner of used car dealer Aura Mobil Depok, Citra Adisukmo, said that while it is true that Toyota has stopped selling the Innova diesel, that doesn’t mean people will love the car by going hunting for this variant and ending it as a collector’s item.

“I don’t think so (in the future it will become a collector’s item). Because as far as I know, first of all, this population has a lot of cars,” Citra said on Tuesday (8/11).

Then, he said that the prestige of diesel passenger cars could decrease because the price of fuel suitable for the engine has risen.

“For example, what is the price of a good fuel for diesel. How about later?” He said.

“The problem is that if you look at it now, it’s not just the Innova diesel, other diesel cars are now selling slowly. People are now looking for gasoline,” continued Citra.

However, he did not deny that the Innova diesel name could suddenly arise and be sought after by many people. Citra estimates that it cannot be separated from the big name Innova which grew out of the development of the legendary Toyota car from Indonesia, the Kijang.

Another used car dealer, Hendra, of Kiara Mobil, said the same thing.

“Yes, because the (diesel) fuel is now expensive, so people now rarely look for the Innova diesel, except those before the reborn, right. Because if the reborn has to use a good diesel and the price is now expensive, it is different from the previous, “Hendra said.

Of note, Toyota has released two generations of the Innova. The second generation, known as the Innova “Reborn”, was first launched in 2016.

There are still many people looking for it because of the diesel, the former because they still used cheap ones. If it’s reborn because of diesel, you want to use gasoline.

The concept of modifications to the Innova Reborn is known to be comprehensive. There is no longer a rounded appearance at the front, the whole structure is made more solid with semi-box lines, from the front, to the sides, to the back.

The engine variants are still offered in two types, namely 1TR-FE petrol with a displacement of 2,000 cc and 2GD-FTV diesel with a displacement of 2,400 cc complete with VNT Intercooler. A new variant also appears in this generation, namely Innova Venturer.

“Yes, that’s why maybe the old ones like the 2005-2006 diesel Innova, there are still a lot of people looking for it. Yes, maybe the models before the reborn will be retired later because the fuel and maintenance are cheap. It’s different from that the born again, ”Hendra said.
