Toyota plans to launch its version of Baleno in India

Japanese auto major Toyota is gearing up to launch its version of Suzuki’s premium hatchback Baleno in the Indian market in the second half of next fiscal year, according to sources. Toyota has been working on incorporating its own unique features to the model that has been a runaway success for Suzuki’s Indian arm — Maruti Suzuki. In March last year, the two Japanese firms had concluded a basic agreement for supplying hybrid and other vehicles to each other in the Indian market.
