Hi guys! Im planning to buy innova kaso im stuck between innova e a/t and innova g a/t. which variant do you think is more sulit? hehe what are the major differences in terms of features? Thanks in advance!
Around 100K differernce bet.the two variants.
What does the G have that is not found in the E:
-Beige interior color vs. Gray
-TVSS w/ key fob vs. none
-Steering wheel audio control vs. none
-Chrome front hood edge, rear door garnish edge, door handles, side mirror housing vs. black plastic
-Side moulding protector w/ chrome insert vs. none
-Sunglass holder near rear view mirror vs. none
-Diffrerent design of magwheels
-Glass mounted antenna vs. manual driver's side a-pillar mounted
-Trip computer or Multi Information display vs. clock only
-Optitron gauges vs. analogue
-Dual front airbags vs. driver's only
-Full moquette upholstery vs. cloth/viny combi.
-Power side mirrors vs. none
-HU (I believe are similar) 6 speakers vs 4 speakers
-Aux Power outlet vs. none
-High mount stop lamp vs. none
-Backup sensor vs. none
I believe that is all, unless I missed something.
*TS : Mag G ka na. :hysterical:
go for g.
why? most of the mods/accessories that you will be looking for in an e are already in g. will definitely cost more than having it done outside, BUT you get what you pay for - everything is stock, clean, no boring of holes, no taps, splicing, etc...
basta if you got the funds, just go for g.
a bit OT, imho between g and v, i'd still go for g because of the 2nd row seat. i don't care of the pilot seat. i wanted the bench type.
If you're just after basic useage, the E is quite sufficient enough as you have alloy wheels, ABS, allpower features and the rear wiper (na wala sa J). If you feel you need a beige interior, optitron gauge, chrome doodads, digital a/c control panel, etc, etc. then the G is the vartiant you would choose.
if your budget permits, go for the G variant. sulit naman yung price diff. with the added features. ganda din ng beige interior. i find the gray interior of the E just too plain. you also have more color options with the G.
I'd suggest, if you're dead sure about the Innova G, choose the color that's not seen on lower variants such as black, bronze etc.
Although we could have ordered a G or V, it was my decision to order an E variant.
-Leather Upholstery is hard to maintain and captain chairs reduce the passenger capacity (even if its only by 1 pass). So scratch the V out.
-Beige interior is harder to maintain (We have a Fortuner so I didn't want to multiply the efforts required for interior maintenance with another beige interior). The gray interior of the E is a welcome change.
-Auto climate control is not great and like all electronics will eventually break down. Same feature found in our Fortuner. I still prefer the manual rotary knobs on the E.
-Most of the bells and whistles accessories are all superficial and do not contribute to any performance or economy enchancements to the vehicle. This Innova is going to be driven by the driver 100% of the time so no need to pay extra for things that won't be fully utilized anyway.
-The E is a big upgrade from the J. It has all power features found in the G and V except side mirrors.
-It has alloy wheels + spare (in my opinion a better design than those in G or V).
-Just install a much better after market alarm bec. the TVSS is really not much help (The TVSS in our Fortuner only wails every Dec 31 bec. of loud and vibrating firecracker explosion outside, anything else, nada).
-The E has most safety features found in the G or V except passenger airbag. It has driver's side airbag and ABS already.
+1 for number001. :nod: Same kami ng reason, pero ang pinaka-nag stand out na reason kung bakit namin pinili yung E is yung interior color. Yung beige interior na car namin, parang nadudumihan na kaagad ako. Pero yung gray interior ng innova namin, parang hindi nadudumihan. Share ko lang :)
I agree that the alloys of the Innova E looks better than those of the G & V variants.Quote:

yes! unfortunately, this is true! ;) actually its not the kids that are causing much dirt problems inside - its more of the yayas who are handling the kids.Quote:

number001 has made very good comparisons btw, worth reading. :nod:
to be honest, being a g owner, the thing i hate most are: tvss and the climate control. what i liked about the g is the interior and the color option (bronze) and yes, the silly addons
Hi Guys! Gandang gabi! :)
I'm still contemplating if Innova G or E ang bibilin. Right now G is winning my mind...
This thread is really worth reading and I'm actually taking notes on your comparisons.
*number001:
is that for 2011 model?
Question po ulet, may keyless entry and alarm na din ba ang 2011 E?
Thanks in advance! :)
e has none, but aftermarket alarm is better than tvss
Applicable from 2008 to 2011.Quote:

thanks for the quick revert, number001.
after some computations and considerations. change of plan kami... right now E is our choice. baka bili na lang ako add-ons para mag mukhang G ang E kahit sa exterior lang hehe.
installing an aftermarket alarm will void the warranty di ba?
If you want to have the look of the G variant, then may as well go for the G. Because it would cost almost the same as accessorizing and modifying an E variant to look like a G variant.Quote:

That way, in the very rare instance that you may need a warranty claim on electronics, you can have the alarm removed completely without a trace, before bringing it back to the casa for warranty claims.
Thanks number001. points taken, however the accessories i need are just chrome exterior, side moldings and alarm (TVSS perhaps). I also considered your points on G's interior and climate control. Base sa computation ko less 25K lang naman (raw bababa pa siguro kung may discount).
Additionally, (if budget still permits) i want to add spoiler w/o led, step board, window visor and HU with ipod control. Again, thanks for the feedback and suggestions! :)
To make your E variant into G variant, exterior-wise, you need the ff:Quote:

-Front Fog lamps
-Optional : Mag wheels from G or V variant.
It also helps that you pick a color not available on the J variant but is available to higher variants. Jade Green is the only color that would work. Silver Metallic is possible but its so common. Beige Metallic is unique to E variant, unless you want to imitate the look of early to mid 2009 G variant model. Red Mica Metallic is not available in G and upwards variant.
