Toyota and Hyundai Plan New SUVs for India Targeting Growing Off-Road Market
Toyota plans to launch the Land Cruiser FJ by 2028 and the Corolla Cross by 2029 in India, with local production in Maharashtra and Aurangabad respectively. The Land Cruiser FJ may feature a diesel-hybrid system and will compete below the Fortuner. Meanwhile, Hyundai aims to introduce an off-road SUV by 2030 targeting the rugged SUV segment, potentially rivaling the Fortuner, using a ladder-frame platform similar to Toyota's. Both automakers are expanding their presence in India's growing SUV market with new models and platforms.
