Toyota cars

Toyota Motor Corporation entered the Indian market in 1997 and is known as Toyota Kirloskar Motor because of a joint operation with the Kirloskar Group. It was with the help of the latter that the carmaker entered our country. It has two plants both based in Bidadi, Karnataka situated near Bangalore. The Japanese carmaker brought Qualis as its product which eventually became to become one of the best-selling MUV (multi-utility vehicle).

Later, Toyota launched two sedans, Camry and Corolla in the early 2000s. The two products too became extensively popular because of their robust quality, low maintenance and feature-loaded up to the brim. After a few years, the carmaker replaced the ageing Qualis with Innova which created a benchmark because of easy parts availability, cheaper maintenance and longevity. There are examples of first-gen Innova’s where people have driven the MUV over 10 lakh km too and still, the vehicle is going strong.

Currently, Toyota Kirloskar Motor have a total of 8 products in the Indian market and they are as follows – Glanza, Urban Cruiser, Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Innova Crysta, Hilux, Fortuner  (This SUV is available in Normal version, Legender and the GR-Sport trim), Camry and Vellfire.
