5 Cars Born Out Of Toyota-Maruti Suzuki Partnership And 1 More That May Join
We know that Toyota and Maruti Suzuki share their R&D and expertise in respective fields with platform and powertrain sharing. In this article, we’ll go over the 3 cars you can buy from Toyota as well as Maruti Suzuki with minor visual touch ups. These cars exist because of the platform, powertrain sharing deal between the two companies. There are more that may come later but aren’t even on the horizon yet.
Let’s start with the most affordable car and go up the price chain from there.
Note: This article was updated on April 4, 2024 and includes recent launches such as the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, Toyota Rumion, and the 2024 Toyota Taisor. The prices of each model and variants are up to date as of April 2024.
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:

3. Toyota Rumion - Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
The Toyota Rumion is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It is also the first non-Nexa car shared between the 2 carmakers. Both 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.

As you can see, the Maruti-engineered powertrain carries a higher price if you buy it with the Hyryder. Similarly, Toyota's hybrid powertrain is available in one extra variant, making it an attractive option for someone who wants a hybrid powertrain at an affordable price. However, the price premium you’re paying for the Vitara hybrid is Rs. 40,000 over the Hyryder hybrid.

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 a CVT automatic transmission. 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 carrie a small premium over the Hycross.
Following are the Innova Hycross prices as of April 4, 2024:

Since the Invicto is an MPV wholly designed and developed by Toyota, it carries a substantial premium of Rs. 76,000 to Rs. 98,000 when wearing a Suzuki badge.

Maruti Suzuki Cars That May Still Come To Toyota Dealership
Among the cars Maruti Suzuki already make, there’s one more that may get Toyota's badge soon. Since there’s no official confirmation about this, we can’t say for sure if the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will get a Toyota badge. If it does, we expect Toyota to name it the Belta.
