In India, the Innova was introduced in February 2005 to replace the Qualis. It was available with twelve variants. Three variants of the Innova came with a petrol engine option which was powered by a 2.0-litre engine with electronic fuel injection. The diesel variants of the Innova are powered by a 2.5-litre engine. The available grades were E, G, GX and VX. In 2012, "Z" was made as a flagship grade above the VX. Toyota set an initial sales target of 45,000 units annually.
The Innova was sold in large numbers in India (where it is known as an MUV)—primarily serving the tourist taxi market and fleet operations of large technology business process outsourcing companies.
In 2009, a facelift was introduced with exterior cosmetic changes, and the inclusion of an intercooler.
The first-generation Innova received an update for the Indian market in 2015.With this update, all variants gained dual airbags and there were cosmetic changes such as the inclusion of dark grey two-tone alloy wheels, wood finished steering wheel, redesigned leather seats, and an oak interior colour. Rear HVAC outlets became standard as a part of this update.
