New Delhi: Recently Toyota Yaris hatchback has been spotted in India. This is not the first time, it has been seen many times before. The testing of this car is going on in India for a long time. Why is the company testing it in India and which car is it? This has not been confirmed yet. But this is not the Yaris that we know as a Toyota sedan that was earlier sold in India and was later discontinued. This is the Yaris hatchback, which is sold in several global markets.
Available in hybrid powertrain
The Yaris is a big name for Toyota, and is one of the oldest models from Toyota. The Yaris has been spied testing in India. It is a premium hatchback and is similar in size to the Hyundai i20 with a line-up of petrol engines, as well as hybrid powertrains. Now the question becomes will this car come to India? Which looks highly unlikely, as Toyota already sells the Glanza in India, which is based on Maruti Suzuki’s Baleno, and the company will focus on Maruti products in the country in the future as well. If the Yaris makes it to our market, it will be very expensive. Still, a hot GR Yaris, a performance classic in its own right, could be brought to India via the CBU route by Toyota to augment its lineup.
Will it be launched in India?
It can be expected to be launched in India, as it has been seen several times during testing. Toyota has recently launched its new Innova Highcross and is going to bring the new generation Fortuner soon. Along with this, the company is working on many new products for India. The Yaris hatchback in India can come in a very funky look with premium interiors. Although the expectation of this is very less. It has to be seen how much people like it. If it comes to India, the company will place it above the Glanza in its lineup.
