Suzuki & Toyota To Share Models in India

[TAUREAN CZAR]

Atleast Toyota should have used their own 1.2 liter petrol engine instead of Maruti unit. It should have made sense as it produces same 90bhp and has a CVT gearbox too. Also Toyota's engine is lighter at 99kgs.
It should have made a better economic sense for Toyota as engine royalties should have been lesser.

Boosted by Suzuki, Toyota plans India blitz with a dozen models

MUMBAI: Toyota Kirloskar, the Indian subsidiary of Japan's largest car maker Toyota Motor Corporation, is moving centre stage from the fringes after two decades and will unleash an unprecedented dozen-product onslaught in the Indian market in 5-7 years, emboldened by its partnership with Suzuki.

Etios and Liva are approaching the end of lives in the last quarter of FY20 as it will fall short on future safety regulations.

These include electric and hybrid too.
