Supply chain: Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix (Indonesia)
The Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix, manufactured in Indonesia, is a premium MPV designed for the Indonesian market. It marks a shift from the commercial vehicle-derived Kijang series to an SUV-style crossover MPV. The Denso Group supplies engine sensors, cooling systems, and body mechanism motors, while the Aisin Group supplies oil pumps, sunroofs, and brake calipers. In addition, PT. Sugity Creatives, a local subsidiary of Toyota Auto Body, is responsible for numerous interior and exterior plastic parts, such as the instrument panel and door trim. For ADAS-related components, AUMOVIO (formerly Continental)-manufactured radar is used. Japanese suppliers are the main providers, and supplies from production bases in Thailand and the Philippines, in addition to Indonesia, have been confirmed.
