Thanks to the self-charging hybrid setup, we expect Toyota’s upcoming SUV to offer segment-best fuel efficiency. We have learnt that Toyota won’t have any diesel engine on offer. The exact powertrain options and their specifications will be revealed closer to the launch date.

It is worth noting that Maruti Suzuki will offer the rebadged version of Toyota’s hybrid SUV. Currently, Suzuki do not offer any rebadged products in the Indian market. However, in European markets, Suzuki sell rebadged versions of the Toyota RAV4 and Corolla estate.

Toyota India are expected to reveal the upcoming hybrid SUV later this year. The upcoming hybrid SUV will go up against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq. Owing to the hybrid powertrain, we expect Toyota’s compact SUV to be priced higher than it’s rivals.
