I'm confused here, arsenic the 1 mentioned successful this thread is simply a monocoque, portion the different 1 is simply a ladder-frame vehicle. I don't deliberation they are processing 2 caller vehicles successful 2 antithetic architecture for the aforesaid marketplace space. That too, erstwhile they person SUVs similar Corolla Cross successful different markets.

IMO, the Corolla Cross whitethorn travel to India arsenic a sub-Fortuner SUV portion the ladder-frame SUV volition beryllium chiefly targeted for the different markets.

Is this the 1 we are talking about? This is simply a ladder-frame vehicle.

It appears that Toyota has taken enactment of the Mahindra Thar's occurrence and is exploring the imaginable for an all-new SUV to beryllium positioned betwixt the Hyryder and Fortuner, according to Autocar India.

Key insights:

1. This caller SUV volition beryllium built connected an wholly new, flexible platform?not the Fortuner?s, nor the TNGA level that supports the Innova Hycross.
2. Things get interesting: Hormazd Sorabjee suggests that this SUV volition diagnostic a monocoque operation and connection some petrol and beardown hybrid powertrains astatine launch.
3. A diesel variant is unlikely.
4. Production is slated to statesman successful 2027.

A monocoque SUV to vie with Mahindra?s ladder-on-frame vehicles is an unexpected move, raising intriguing questions astir its marketplace positioning.

However, I?m a spot confused, arsenic Autocar had reported successful July 2024 astir an upcoming "FJ Cruiser." It?s unclear what the last sanction volition beryllium for this model. They mentioned:

1. The caller Toyota off-roader volition beryllium astir 4.5 meters long.
2. It volition stock its level and powertrain with the Fortuner.
3. It volition get petrol and diesel motor options based connected a mentation of the IMV platform.

I initially thought the Toyota Mini Land Cruiser was acceptable to marque its planetary debut successful Thailand successful November 2024, with the level shared with the TNGA-F planetary motortruck platform, akin to the Land Cruiser 250 that has already launched successful markets similar the U.S. and Australia.

Other members & readers mightiness statement maine arsenic a pessimist, but I bash not deliberation Toyota is adjacent remotely considering bringing immoderate 'New' conveyance successful Indian Market. They are blessed with rebadging exercises and counting immense currency stacks successful the names of Innova, Fortuner, LC.

I bash not spot immoderate hunger successful them for capturing much Indian Market. They person each that is required, Very Good Diesel & Petrol Engines, Good Hybrid Technology, Greatest Reliability, Good models crossed segments (ex... RAV4), but inactive India is not a precedence for them. We are a second-class marketplace for them aft all. Even worse than Thailand.

As agelong arsenic Toyota is filling stashes of wealth with Innova, Fortuner and different Rebadging exercise, it won't marque consciousness for the firm squad to put successful caller oregon caller models whose profitability is uncertain.

I would permission it with 1 past point: Any firm institution that is having bully governance wouldn't make a 'false' scarce of their flagship models and fto the dealers upsell them. Unfortunately, I saw this inclination with Toyota Dealerships successful USA & Canada arsenic well. I simply get a feeling that Toyota is not hungrier anymore and they are blessed to beryllium stagnant.

This 1 is Toyota Hilux RANGGA SUV Concept. Press study says it is not the 500D Project.

The Mini Fortuner that each are interested, is rumored to beryllium called the 'Land Cruiser FJ'.
