Toyota and Maruti Suzuki have one of the most extensive partnerships in the Indian automotive industry. Over the last few years, both manufacturers have collaborated on product development, platform sharing and powertrain technology, resulting in several vehicles sold under both brands with minor design differences.
While Toyota contribute their expertise in hybrid technology, Maruti Suzuki bring their strength in localisation, manufacturing scale and cost efficiency. The result is a range of rebadged models that allow both brands to expand their portfolios into popular car segments without developing entirely new vehicles from scratch.
Here are the 6 cars currently on sale in India that you can buy from either Toyota or Maruti Suzuki:
1. Maruti Suzuki Baleno - Toyota Glanza
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a B2-segment hatchback. It was completely engineered by Maruti Suzuki and Toyota sell it via their outlets as the Glanza. The price differences between the 2 cars are comparable but the cost Toyota are incurring for selling a Maruti-engineered car through their showrooms is visible in the ex-showroom prices. Both the cars share the 1.2L normal petrol engine with manual and AMT automatic transmission and also get the 1.2L CNG bi-fuel powertrain option.
Here’s the ex-showroom price list of all Baleno variants:
Following are the prices of all the Glanza variants:

2. Maruti Suzuki Fronx - Toyota Taisor
The second most affordable cars to launch under the Toyota-Maruti partnership are the Maruti Nexa Fronx and Taisor. Like the Baleno, the Fronx is completely engineered by Maruti Suzuki and Toyota sell it via their outlets as the Taisor. Here too, the price differences between the 2 cars are comparable. Both the cars share the 1L turbo petrol with 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, 1.2L normal petrol engine with manual and AMT automatic transmission, and even the 1.2L CNG bi-fuel powertrain option.

The Toyota Rumion is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It is also the first Maruti outside of the Nexa range of cars shared between the 2 carmakers. The Rumion and Ertiga share the same platform and powertrain options. In this case, Maruti Suzuki developed the MPV as well as its engine and transmission options. Both MPVs come with a 1.5L normal petrol engine with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed TC automatic transmission, and a 1.5L CNG engine with a 5-speed manual.

4. Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder - Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, or simply Toyota Hyryder, also shares the platform and powertrain options with the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. In this case, Maruti Suzuki didn’t entirely engineer the car on their own. The 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol engine comes with Maruti’s expertise while Toyota contributed with their expertise with the 1.5L strong hybrid petrol-automatic powertrain.
Here’s the ex-showroom price list of all Grand Vitara variants:

5. Toyota Innova Hycross - Maruti Suzuki Invicto
Maruti Suzuki launched the Invicto, which is a rebadged version of the Toyota Innova Hycross, in July 2023. Just like the Glanza and the Hyryder sharing their platform and powertrains with their Maruti Suzuki siblings, the Invicto shares the body and platform with the Innova Hycross. However, the Invicto does not get the 2.0L normal petrol engine that is offered with the Innova Hycross. Instead, it is only available with the Innova’s 2.0L petrol hybrid engine mated to an eCVT. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which is sold via the Nexa platform, is only available in 3 variants – Zeta Plus 7 Seater, Zeta Plus 8-Seater, and Alpha Plus 7-seater.
In this case, the car is completely engineered and designed by Toyota while the Maruti Suzuki Invicto only carries minor visual differences. Since it’s a vehicle expertise Maruti Suzuki are borrowing from Toyota, the Invicto carries a small premium over the Hycross.
Following are the Innova Hycross prices as of June 2026:
Here are the prices of the Maruti Suzuki Invicto

Launched in 2026, the e Vitara is Maruti Suzuki’s first foray into the electric SUV segment. It shares its platform, electric motor and battery pack with the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella, which was launched a feww months later. While Maruti Suzuki currently offer the e Vitara in 3 variants, the Ebella is only available in a single fully-loaded variant. However, 2 more variants will join the Ebella range shortly.
Here’s how the Maruti e Vitara’s prices compare against the Toyota Ebella:

Upcoming Maruti Suzuki-Toyota Cars In 2026
1. Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara 7 Seater
The Grand Vitara 7-seater was spotted testing in the country recently with styling inspired by the upcoming e Vitara electric SUV. We expect the Maruti 7-seater SUV to go on sale ahead of Toyota’s version. When launched, the Grand Vitara 7-seater and Hyryder 7-seater will take on the Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV700.
2. Toyota Hyryder 7 Seater
Like the Grand Vitara 7-Seater, the Hyryder could also get a 7-seater version later this year. We expect both SUVs to be powered by the same 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol, strong hybrid petrol and CNG engines as their 5-seater counterparts.
