Maruti Suzuki and Toyota Motors are coming for Creta with a stunning new SUV

Toyota Kirloskar Motors and Maruti Suzuki are partnering up in order to develop a new mid-size SUV segment that is presently dominated by Hyundai’s Creta and the Kia Seltos. The automobile makers are jointly developing an SUV that will be manufactured at Toyota’s Bidadi facility in Karnataka and will be marketed and retailed via their independent dealerships throughout the country.

Trial production of the new Toyota-Maruti SUV has already begun:

Creta
Hyundai Creta

The latest reports indicate that the Toyota-Suzuki’s Creta rival SUV has already entered into the trial production phase at the plant, we can expect the car to officially debut in June or July while the launch could occur during the peak festive season of 2022.

The new SUV will support the made-in-India version of Toyota’s TNGAB platform, the majority of the components will be supplied through Maruti Suzuki’s existing vendors. Some crucial systems will be provided by Toyota regulators, while there is no official word on the upcoming rival of Creta, it is likely to arrive with two petrol engines and a hybrid drive unit.
