While the
Honda Odyssey J 2021 has a starting price of KWD 7,777 and the
Kia Carens 2021 at KWD 5,500, the Toyota Innova 2021 2.7L SE+ stands at KWD 8,100 including VAT. One of six available trim levels, the 2.7L SE offers features such as airbags, an anti-theft alarm, brake assist (BA), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), a center armrest, central locking, cupholders, fabric seats, a chrome-plated radiator grille, LED daytime running lights, door mirrors with side turn signals, electric door mirrors, ambient lighting, audio controls on the steering wheel, an auto-dimming mirror, and automatic AC.
This Japanese mini van is equipped with a 2.7-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that generates 164 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, making it a robust choice for families. In comparison, the Honda Odyssey and Kia Carens feature 2.4-litre and 1.6-litre engines, respectively. The Toyota Innova is well-regarded in the Kuwaiti market for its spacious interior and reliability, which appeals to both families and business users. For Kuwait, the average price of the Innova across all versions is KWD 7,033. Considering an annual depreciation rate of 15%, we expect the 2.7L SE to cost around KWD 6,885 on the
used car market by next year.
Additionally, the Innova's reputation for durability and low maintenance costs further contributes to its appeal in the region, making it a wise investment for buyers. With its versatile seating configurations and advanced safety features, the Innova remains a top contender in the minivan segment.
