Just my humble opinion, no offense,
You should try the same amount of passengers and luggage up Uncle Lim's hill to really stretch the VVTI engine to the limit.
180NM of torque at 4000RPM means at 2000RPM-2500RPM probably you are using half of it only, to carry heavy loads.
Cameron Highland, regardless Tapah or the Simpang Pulai, both the hill incline is not that steep compared to Uncle Lim.
I dont own a Innova, but I've test driven the Innova (not the latest generation) at one showroom and I find the auto gearbox tune to be quite relaxed. Not as spirited as the older generation Camry 2.0L (yes I know, 2 different cars and engine).
You can say a car is underpowered if it feels sluggish carrying a load of say 4-5 adults on the flat. To test it with full load on a steep hill isn't fair even if it goes up sluggishly as many other average cars would feel the same.You should try the same amount of passengers and luggage up Uncle Lim's hill to really stretch the VVTI engine to the limit.

I'm no expert but 2.0L engine seems about right for the size of the Innova although it may not give a spirited drive. If 1.5L is good enough for the Sienta why is 2.0L on the Innova considered under powered? If you compare their curb weights Innova is 33% heavier than Sienta and has 33% more engine capacity. This is a rough rule of thumb - we could compare max HP but a car isn't driven at max HP all the time.
