Toyota will release additional SUV models in India to expand its offerings in the next two to three years, after introducing the Innova Hycross and Hyryder SUVs to the country.
Slated for launch this year is an SUV Coupe based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Toyota is also working on developing the next-generation Fortuner SUV and a new 3-row SUV for the Indian market based on the Corolla Cross SUV, which will be built on the TNGA-C platform that also supports the recently released Innova Hycross.
In India, the Corolla Cross 7-seater SUV will compete against models such as the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700, and Jeep Meridian.
The new 3-row SUV is likely to feature the same engine options as the Hycross, including a 172bhp, 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated petrol engine, and a 186bhp, 2.0-liter petrol engine with Toyota's self-charging strong hybrid technology.
The upcoming next-generation Fortuner is set to make its global debut in 2024. The SUV will feature a brand-new design, an updated cabin, and a new engine option. It will be built on Toyota's latest TNGA-F architecture, which also serves as the foundation for the Tundra, Sequoia, and Land Cruiser SUVs.
The upcoming Toyota SUV Coupe, codenamed A15, will be based on the Fronx crossover and is expected to incorporate styling elements from the Yaris Cross. It will be available with two petrol engine options, including a 100bhp, 1.0-liter 3-cylinder Boosterjet turbo, and an 89bhp, 1.2-liter Dualjet 4-cylinder petrol engine.
Both are equipped with Suzuki's mild hybrid technology.
