New Maruti MPV: Launch
The Toyota Innova Hycross is set for its global debut next month and will be launched at the start of 2023. The Maruti badged offering is slated to launch six months after that, so around mid-2023.
The Toyota-Maruti alliance started in 2017 and since then, vehicles like the Baleno and Brezza were rebadged as the Toyota Glanza and Urban Cruiser in India. While the latest duo, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the Grand Vitara are built in Toyota’s Bidadi plant, they are Maruti products. The Innova Hycross on the other hand will be the first Toyota product to be rebadged into a Maruti offering.
