Toyota could launch seven new SUVs in India
India is a rapidly growing market. Carmakers are launching new products every year. Toyota is also planning to launch its new SUVs in India in the coming time. While some products will take on the budget segment SUVs, we expect some high-end SUVs to come to the country as well. In this article, we will discuss seven new SUVs that we expect Toyota will bring to India.
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
The RAV4 Hybrid is one of the top selling SUVs in the foreign market from Toyota. The stylish design and SUV stance are what attract buyers to this SUV. The RAV4 comes with modern features like power-adjustable seats, push-button Start-Stop, blind-spot monitoring, climate control with dust & pollen filter, and many more. The RAV4 Hybrid is offered with two electric motors, a four-cylinder 2.5-litre engine that produces 200bhp, and an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system. Toyota is speculated to launch this car since it has been spotted a couple of times being tested on Indian roads.
Toyota Hilux
Currently the lifestyle pickup segment in India is ruled by Isuzu V-Cross. With Toyota soon expected to launch its Hilux pickup truck in the country, the segment will gain a new competitor. The Hilux is based on the same IMV platform that underpins the Innova and the Fortuner. The Hilux gets a rugged exterior design that will surely give it an upper-hand among modern buyers. The Hilux is also equipped with an array of safety & convenience features like Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill Start & Hill Descent controls, and many more.
The Hilux gets a 2.8-litre diesel engine that produces 201bhp & 500Nm of torque mated to a manual & an automatic gearbox. The Hilux is one of the most important and anticipated Toyota cars that we want in India. The Toyota Hilux will be priced between Rs 18 to Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. Recently, Toyota Hilux was spotted in India and is expected to be launched in the first half of 2021.
Toyota Corolla Cross
The Corolla Cross is currently manufactured in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia, China, and the United States of America. The SUV has been a popular car in South Africa. The Corolla Cross is a C-segment compact SUV from Toyota. This SUV sits between C-HR and RAV4 in Toyota’s global lineup of SUVs. Once launched in India, the Toyota Corolla Cross will compete with other SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. This SUV is also expected to be launched in India in the coming time.
New-generation Toyota Land Cruiser (LC300)
The Toyota Land Cruiser is known for its powerful engine, solid build quality, and premium interiors. This full-size SUV speaks all about road presence. The Toyota Land Cruiser has been the top choice choice for many people because of its aggressive stance and impeccable road presence. Toyota had to discontinue the previous generation of the Land Cruiser in India because of the strict BS6 emission norms. But we expect Toyota to bring this SUV to India in the coming months as well.
Toyota rebadged Ertiga
After launching rebadged products like Glanza and Urban Cruiser, Toyota is now planning to add Maruti Ertiga to their list of rebadged products. This MPV from Toyota will have some minor changes in terms of exterior design. Features like features like auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity, reverse parking camera, and leather-wrapped steering wheel will be included. The car will be a premium version of the Maruti Ertiga that is currently available. The car will continue to use the same engine that is currently seen in the Ertiga. The expected price of this car will be around Rs 9 lakh to Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom) once launched in India.
Toyota Rush
Toyota has already launched the new generation of its popular SUV, Rush in many south Asian countries. Toyota might bring this to India as well. This SUV from Toyota gets a 1.5-litre dual VVTi petrol engine that produces 102bhp and 136Nm of torque mated to an automatic gearbox.
Toyota Highlander
The Toyota Highlander is a full-size SUV from Toyota. The SUV gets three-row seating and is expected to be made available in seven-seater and eight-seater configurations. The car will be built on the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform. The car will be equipped with modern features that we see in SUVs of this size. Panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated seats, reverse parking camera, and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity will be some of these features. A 2.5-litre petrol engine with automatic transmission is expected to be offered in this SUV. The expected price of this SUV will be around Rs 50 to Rs 60 Lakh (ex-showroom).
