About Toyota
Quality, Durability, and Reliability (QDR)
Toyota entered the Indian market in 1997 through a joint venture with the Kirloskar Group, establishing
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM). Since then, the brand has built an unshakeable reputation for "QDR"—Quality, Durability, and Reliability. Headquartered in
Bidadi, Karnataka, Toyota’s two manufacturing plants serve as a global benchmark for the "Kaizen" (continuous improvement) philosophy, producing vehicles that are known to last for generations.
The Hybrid Leader
Toyota is the pioneer of self-charging hybrid electric technology in India. The brand has successfully democratized green mobility with its "Strong Hybrid" lineup, which offers 40-50% higher fuel efficiency than standard petrol cars. This technology is central to Toyota's "Multi-Pathway" approach to carbon neutrality, ensuring that eco-friendly driving is practical and accessible without range anxiety.
The 2026 Product Landscape
Toyota’s portfolio in India is diverse, catering to mass-market buyers, off-road enthusiasts, and ultra-luxury clients:
- The Legends: The Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross continue to dominate the MPV segment, while the Fortuner and Legender remain the undisputed kings of the full-size SUV market.
- Urban Cruisers: The Urban Cruiser Hyryder (co-developed with Maruti Suzuki) has brought hybrid tech to the masses. It is joined by the Urban Cruiser Taisor, a sporty crossover coupe.
- Electrification: 2026 marks a major shift with the introduction of the Urban Cruiser Ebella, Toyota’s first mass-market battery electric SUV for India, sharing its platform with the Maruti eVitara.
- Luxury & Lifestyle: The lineup is topped by the limousine-like Vellfire and the invincible Land Cruiser 300, alongside the lifestyle pickup, the Hilux.
Customer First
Toyota is renowned for having one of the highest customer retention rates in the industry.
