Toyota Innova Hybrid is rumored to be launched in the near future. In addition to bringing a hybrid engine, another big change that Toyota will be presenting at the Innova is the transmission system.
It is widely reported that the Innova Hybrid will carry a front-wheel drive (FWD) system and use the TNGA platform like other Toyota hybrid cars.
So what are the benefits of the front-wheel drive system that the Innova Hybrid will reportedly use? Citing various sources, the two advantages of front-wheel drive are economy and traction. With the FWD engine the power will be channeled through the front wheels of the car.

The front-wheel drive system has simpler components because the axles are directly connected to the engine and transmission. For this reason, FWD is easier to install and maintenance is also not complicated. The production costs of the cars can also be reduced so that the price is more affordable.The simple design also allows front-wheel drive cars to be more efficient.
Not only that, the fuel consumption of a car with an FWD system is said to be better. Another advantage offered by the FWD system is traction. The increased front load helps the car to have a good grip in the front.
The car’s spacious cabin is also a distinct advantage of using the FWD system. It could be said that this FWD system is suitable for family cars such as the Toyota Innova. The sound of the car is also smoother while driving because there is no axle.
Another advantage is more power but still light. With the transverse position of the engine in the front, which makes it more efficient in using fuel. In principle, the use of fuel efficient is suitable for hybrid cars. Hybrid cars generally have a pretty good fuel consumption rate.
The switch to using FWD from RWD was previously also made by Toyota on the Avanza MPV. After a dozen years with the RWD, the car of a million people has finally moved on to using the FWD on the latest model to be launched in November 2021. Will the latest Innova follow this trail as well? Unfortunately, not much information is known about the launch of the Innova Hybrid. You see, Toyota is also still reluctant to leak the brand new eco-friendly MPV.
