New Toyota SUV coupe
The new SUV Coupe being developed by the Japanese automaker is now undergoing testing. The vehicle, scheduled to go on sale early in 2019, will be a rebadged Maruti Baleno Cross. The new Toyota SUV Coupe will probably get a few visual updates. Its design might take some cues from the global-spec Yaris Cross. It will be built on Suzuki’s Heartect chassis, much like the Baleno Cross, and have the revised 1.0L Boosterjet petrol engine. Mild hybrid technology or a higher level of electrification could be used to increase the motor. It is available with a manual or automatic transmission.
