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. |

QUOTE(yattnana @ Nov 1 2017, 01:43 AM) Innova is a car specially made for developing (read poor) countries.... No Hilux, Fortuner, Altis, Camry, GT86 as well. So? See, no Innova in Japan!   |

QUOTE(Deja Vu @ Nov 1 2017, 10:47 AM) The main factor making the current Innova a safer option than a Serena hybrid is the air bag count. If you take a look at the crash test done by ASEAN NCAP (for 2016 Innova) and JNCAP (2010 Suzuki Landy aka Nissan Serena which coincidentally also only has 2 front air bags), the structural damage on both looks almost identical after taking on full and offset frontal impact. No only that. Rear collision is still untested in XXNCAP. Those without ladder frame would fair very poor in rear ward collision.In general I think its rather unfair to compare safety features when both vehicles were designed at least 6 years apart. |

QUOTE(yattnana @ Nov 1 2017, 02:32 PM) I saw more newly registered Vellfire & Alphard than Innova. Why spend 130k for 3rd world Toyota when you can get mint used JDM Toyotas? No backstory of the used JDM Toyota. Last time saw Caldina GT4 owner got cheated because the 'JDM' unit appear to have non-minor accidents - the body has massive putty fillings around the body. |

QUOTE(yattnana @ Nov 1 2017, 03:33 PM) Well, Toyotas are so reliable that a 5-6 years old cars still drive like a brand new car Reliable on the engine part. However the body might be refurbished just to look good while already way out of its structural strength integrity. |

I prefer 2nd row bench more than pilot seats. Nicer to sleep.
