Toyota to launch two new cars in India

1. Rebadged Fronx

Toyota is expected to release the rebadged Maruti Suzuki Fronx during the upcoming holiday season. The Fronx, a popular model that sells in high volumes each month, is positioned below the Brezza small SUV in Maruti Suzuki's lineup. The small SUV coupe is based on the premium Baleno hatchback, and Toyota's version will also be built on the same architecture.

It is expected that the upcoming vehicle will have similar performance engines, specifically the 1.2-litre K-series and 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engines. The 3-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine can produce a maximum power of 90bhp and a torque of 113Nm. On the other hand, the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine can generate a maximum torque of 140Nm and approximately 100 horsepower.

It is anticipated that the rumoured Toyota compact SUV coupe will have three different gearbox options: a five-speed manual, a six-speed torque converter AT, and a five-speed AMT.

At present, it is unclear if the upcoming Toyota model will have a distinct design from the Fronx. However, the car’s interior will feature a similar floating nine-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Additionally, it will have convenient features such as push-button start/stop, cruise control, automated climate control, a 360-degree camera, a heads-up display, and multiple airbags.

Toyota Rumion

The upcoming Rumion MPV will be equipped with a 1.5-litre petrol engine capable of generating 105 PS of power and 138 Nm of pickup torque. The vehicle will come with both a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque converter automated gearbox.

The Toyota Rumion MPV will come equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It will also have steering-mounted audio controls, rear AC vents, automated climate control, twin airbags, ABS with EBD, parking camera, rear parking sensors, and a host of other features.

It is anticipated that the Toyota Rumion will have a starting price of Rs 8.8 lakhs.
