A source said, this MPV was designed carefully by PT Toyota-Astra Motor, Toyota's subsidary in Indonesia. This car is expected can be seen at Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2014.

UPDATE

Toyota actually had a car between Avanza and Innova, the Passo Sette. The car was launched in 2009 in conjunction with Daihatsu Boon Luminas. Have the same base with the Daihatsu Sirion/Boon/Toyota Passo, this car has a high value practicality.
