innova is very under powered

true story - don't believe give it a drive but have at least 3 to 4 ride together then
youll know

I won't say it's very underpowered. I've driven it with 5 adults and 2 kids with luggage up to Cameron Highlands and it was a breeze. Never felt the engine was underpowered.

Then your choice would only be Estima, Starex, Serena. Not sure of Innova

Ive driven exora cfe, wish 2.0, estima 2.4.

For drivability i'll go for exora cfe.( torque n handling)
For comfort I choose estima. (sliding door n 2.4L)

How does Innova 3rd row compares with Exora?

Still based on truck platform right? Rear wheel drive with live axle rear suspension

I've sat on the 3rd row of a borrowed innova before from kedah to KL and I must say for a 170cm tall guy it was hell. I hardly feel my feet after that trip. It also somewhat bumpy.
Both my family and my inlaws have exora and I say it is much more comfortable for the driver and passenger. No doubt once my own family grows I would definitely buy an exora
so spacious there still ample space after the third row.

Some time ago I did go to a Nissan showroom asking for serena for a friend and from the info that I got they said serena use hybrid engine like prius. furthermore it looked slab sided like a
van so thats why not many of them on the road.

Just done the test drive today on Nissan Serena..... My hubby drive the car while I'm sitting in the 3 rd row.......
Innova vs Serena
Driving @ handling - Serena win
Comfort.                  - Serena win
Furthermore Nissan is doing Huge promotions now....
So have decided to go for Serena

If you want refinement, get Sienta or even Serena instead

Still ride on ancient body on frame RWD platform though.....ride and handle like a van/truck

do test it without any load ya...

Yes, I test drive the 2.0G before, already fall in love with it. When the 2.0X come out with pilot seat, i even can't stop to think on it. 😍😍

Recently have check the new Mitsubishi Outlander
7 seater, 7 airbags, 4WD , Roof Rails, Rest Reminder, ISOFIX, PADDLE SHIFTERS...

Overall looks so good, but not sure the comfort level and the driving experience of this car. Anyone having this ?

Fuel consumption should be better than previous model (now is dual VVT-I).
Safety: now come with 7 airbags... I can only found this safety feature in Innova compare to Serena (2 airbags) and Biante (2 airbags).

Innova is a car specially made for developing (read poor) countries....
See, no Innova in Japan!

Innova more safe than the Serena box due to the ladder frame. Rear ward collision Innova rear passengers higher chance to survive than Serena. Same with all other non ladder frame 7-seater.

Speaking of new Innova, it is getting more and more.

Serena is much more comfortable than Innova and it's much faster too.

Innova acceleration is like a bus hence it's very slow.

There's highway risk for family members especially when overtaking cars.

That's why I guess very few buyer bought the Innova versus the Serena or Biante for instance.

Hardly see the new Innova otr.  It's as rare as the Hyundai Elantra

Already place booking for Innova X. Very excited while waiting for loan approval and car only available by Dec (Red colour).
