While diesel Toyota Kijang Innova Reborn vehicles have lower fuel costs, maintenance-wise, the gasoline engine version of the Kijang Innova Reborn is better. The gasoline engine of the Toyota Kijang Innova Reborn produces less noise compared to the diesel engine.

This contrasts with areas outside Jabodetabek, as diesel fuel is not easily available. Hence, Kijang Innova Reborn vehicles with petrol engines are favored in areas outside Jabodetabek since diesel fuel is less accessible compared to petrol fuel.
5. Interior and Exterior Design
When it comes to interior and exterior aesthetics, there are no major distinctions between diesel and gasoline engine cars. The only variation in exterior appearance is the emblem on the trunk door, depicting 2.4 for diesel models and 2.0 for gas variants.
