Sometimes, there is an option to put a legendary Family car into a electric car. Well, kinda say this is an option for introduce a legend name of family car to the new environment.

A rumour began from Toyota Indonesia Media Gathering, according to detik.com, Toyota Indonesia would have a plan to introduce 10 new hybrid car and one of the 10 cars possible is Kijang Innova.

Why Kijang Innova? because 2022 will be a last cycle of this ladder frame and they wanted to move from ladder frame to monocoque plus hybrid system will suited for this car.

I like to say, this is a much changing situation and of course some people would be happier to look around of this car next year. Possible diesel engine would be coming on this option beside new hybrid engine make it difference.

However, there is a sadness for any enthusiast because Kijang would transformation and let it go some uniqueness of the family car. Perhaps, you still love a Kijang with ladder frame.

Perhaps, we have a great news about this one. Based on Detik.com, minister of Industry, Agus Gumilang Kartasasmita got anwer about a family car would be a Hybrid series.

Yes, this is Toyota Kijang Innova would be using hybrid gasoline hence there is a complicated issue about diesel engine would terminate or separated sales. Well, we hope this is a new way of this car running on the new technology and cleanliest car ever.

Well this is a beginning story of Kijang Innova a family car who transform as hybrid family car.
