Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) to expand its line-up of original Toyotas in the near future, emphasising more on high-margin, premium models
Leveraging its collaboration with Maruti Suzuki, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has launched several new low-cost cars in recent years and has become India’s fifth-largest automaker. Over the next 2-3 years, the company will strengthen its presence in higher-end segments of over Rs. 15 lakh rupees.
1. Lower-end Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid
TKM is working on a de-contented Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid to replace the Toyota Innova Crysta and is expected to launch it by early 2027. The new entry-level trim of the Innova Hycross Hybrid should be comparable to the G trim of the Innova Hycross Petrol. It will likely be just as efficient, though, delivering a fuel economy of 22.16 km/l.
Another product intervention in the Innova series in the next 2-3 years could be the launch of the Innova Hycross Hybrid Flex Fuel. TKM has already showcased a prototype of this model on multiple occasions.

2. Toyota electric MPV
Also expected to be launched in 2027 is a Toyota electric MPV, derived from an upcoming Maruti Suzuki model codenamed ‘YMC’. The platform, batteries, and powertrains are likely to be the same as those of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella, which shares a similar relationship with the Maruti e Vitara. The new three-row model will compete with the Kia Carens Clavis EV and the VinFast MPV 7.
3. Next-gen Toyota Fortuner
Toyota is developing a third-generation Fortuner closely related to the ninth-generation Hilux, which it introduced in November 2025. The next-gen Fortuner will have a sharper and sleeker front-end and a noticeably cleaner and more contemporary interior.
The next-gen Fortuner should come with a host of new features, including electric power steering, Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, a 360º camera system, and ventilated front seats.

4. Toyota Land Cruiser FJ
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is the company’s new C-segment body-on-frame SUV positioned below the Toyota Fortuner. Based on the IMV 0 platform, this model is already on sale internationally and is expected to arrive in Indian showrooms in late 2028.
The Land Cruiser FJ will be manufactured in India, at TKM’s upcoming Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant. Yet, it is expected to be a pricey model, starting at around Rs. 30 lakh (ex-showroom). TKM will likely offer it in petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants.
5. Toyota Corolla Cross
After being cancelled last year, the Toyota Corolla Cross is back in the pipeline, now expected to be launched by early 2029. The current model will likely be too old by that time, which means TKM may directly launch the next-gen model. The Corolla Cross, too, will be manufactured at the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant.
