Spypicture of 2016 Toyota Innova

From the details of test mule, passer by’s have discovered that the car in advanced stage of testing. Toyota will release the car in early 2016, which is probably a year and a half wait. The new car will come with massive cosmetic modification on the exterior. The styling of the front is aggressive, and is inspired by the grandeur of Fortuner. The company will design the front with enhanced creativity, which will be flatter and taller. The car will look more macho and sturdy and the changes are refreshed bumper, bigger headlights and taller front grille.

The 2016 Innova is going to just look more fashionable and contemporary with varied side profile, new rear quarter glass and a more inventive D-pillar design. Look out for a world of new Innova newness in the interiors as well, which is likely to sport a more modernized design than before. It will have superior quality of materials, plush touch screen centre console and re-structured dashboard.

Toyota will engineer the 2016 Innova on a revolutionary ladder and frame chassis. The company’s main vision with the car is to improve the passenger comfort value. Now what about the mechanical properties, sources say the company is going to employ superior engine technology and there is going to be a robust transmission option as well.

Innova has excited millions of Indian’s; it is a common sight, visible on every second lane. The desirability image of Innova is engraved on its homely family car stance; it has comforted an overload of nuclear families. Toyota has earned significant market share with Innova, and is a source of inspiration for new car Renault Lodgy MPV.

Although Toyota has earned great fortunes with Innova, it has to still be wary of existing and upcoming competition. The rivalry spirit has heated up, with the arrival of the much awaited Honda Mobilio. The car is now the centre stage of attraction and very little is spoken on new Innova.

To beat the intensified competition heat, Toyota is working on new Innova with a modern twist. Innova does not have the best of best fashion statement; it is one car that is admired by thousands, because of the extended space to comfort large happy families. The new car will arrive with new never seen before surprises, with contemporary exteriors and interiors. According to the buzz the company is working on new ground breaking engine technology as well.

A hot debatable topic is if the 2016 Innova can overpower the instantly popular Mobilio. Over viewing the description of the car, it is possible, because Toyota is working towards satisfying modified taste buds.

Toyota Etios Xclusive Edition Sedan

Toyota has used an interesting punch line for the cars, called New Etios Liva and New Etios. The modifications are minor on the interiors and exterior, the Etios sedan will have a solid chrome treatment in front, layered with artistically styled single tooth grille. The new Liva hatchback will sport a new grille as well, but this time there will be no chrome accents.

Toyota seems to have safeguarded the side view of the back portion of the two cars. The only visible change is parking sensors, which is a standard feature. Like the exteriors, the interiors too are not a vast change of the past, evident on the minor upgrades. Despite the minimal modifications, consumers will acquire the new car atmosphere. The company has inserted new fittings on door panels and upholstery. The steering too is exciting, covered with world class and potent faux leather, and the gear stick will have illuminating chrome filled headlights. To protect occupants from every possible harsh circumstance, there are airbags on driver’s compartment, common on all variants, and the electrically adjustable exterior rear view mirrors will offer the required visibility for optimum safety.

Etios sedan and Liva hatchbacks are major profit contributors for Toyota, the company considers the cars to be critical for sustained profits. The first entry of the twins is the new Etios sedan scheduled for the 15^th of October. The exact launch date of Liva is unknown, but will arrive within the festive period. The price range of Liva is Rs 4.40 to 6.91 lakhs and Etios costs Rs 5.39 to 8 lakhs.

The car market in India is witnessing what is probably the fiercest competition era. Although the Etios sedan and Liva hatchback are among the ace profit makers of Toyota, the visibility effect of the two has diminished, and there are very few products of the two cars on the roads. The move of Toyota to launch facelift versions of the two cars during the festive season is a good move, since the customer sentiment value has improved, due to improvements in market economy from a long two year slump.

The expected profit outcome of Etios sedan and Liva hatchback is high; the two cars are professionally styled and pose the appearance of any other luxury car. It is thereby startling to learn that very little is heard of the cars in recent times. Toyota has therefore chosen a right time to launch the car, the high-spirited festive season. Although the two cars are desirable, Toyota has to bear the competition heat with Maruti Suzuki Swift and Swift Dzire facelift cars.

Car buyers who are keen on Etios sedan and Liva hatchback, the two are amazing packages to kick start the colorful festive season.

2015 toyota camry facelift

The new 2015 Camry is the result of the car maker’s first redesign of the ‘Gen 6’ model. This is Toyota’s redesign project with two key factors set as goals, first to provide more distinctive identity to the car; second to adhere to the appearance of the car’s 2015 street version which was displayed earlier this year.

While commenting on the vehicle, Toyota Racing Development’s president and GM, Dave Wilson said that a lot of hard work has gone into redesigning the new Camry race car for the NASCAR. The company successfully handled the big challenge of balancing performance and design, but it was possible working closely with company’s Calty Design center, NASCAR and the Toyota’s race team partners. Finally, Toyota developed a race car that looks close to its production version and also offers upgraded performance on the racetrack.

The face and the front grille opening of the new 2015 Toyota Camry comes with the aggressive design language of the new production model, which is the most obvious new design aspect.

The driver of the No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota, Clint Bowyer was much pleased with the new race car. He said that there’s a reason why the Camry is always the No.1 selling vehicle in the US. It is the obvious choice of the car buyers all the time, and it is really good some great styling improvements to it a bit more aggressive, and a better appealing car than just a sure bet. He added by saying that while everyone likes a sure bet, people also want to drive around a handsome car to impress others. Certainly, Toyota has accomplished that with the new Camry, and it’s pretty exciting.

Bowyer and the other Toyota racing drivers will get a chance to get some track testing time in the new 2015 Camry race car this year prior to the NASCAR’s testing ban comes into effect from 1^st January 2015. With NASCAR’s new lower-down-force, lower HP competition package that is set to be introduced in 2015, Bowyer feels that the new Camry has come just at the right time.

Spypicture of 2016 Toyota Innova

The Indian car market is going through a grueling competition phase, to an extent that companies have emerged with evolutionary theories. The new Innova is the 2016 model; Toyota will engineer the car with a sturdy new ladder-frame platform. The morphology of the vehicle is similar to its predecessor, with a lighter chassis. The D Pillar segment will have modern Innova furnishings, with tasteful window.

Toyota is building a novel diesel engine technology with a capacity superior to the already potent 2.5 liter engine. The elevated degree of technology will result in a power train with higher efficiency coupled with lower emission and Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) levels. According to reports the company may construct a standard manual gearbox along with automatic transmission.

What’s exciting about the new Innova is the new design language, on the front is artistically carved rectangular grille packed with three slats. The grille has a wider dimension and merges with bumper. The headlights will have super illuminating projector lights. The side view is great as well, and sources say it is easy to spot the visual difference between the new Innova and the current car. The styling of alloy wheel is new and different; the major modification is visible on the refurnished glass in third row compartment that builds the increased sporty nature of the vehicle. To be on the competition heat with Mobilio, Toyota has improved the interior room of third compartment.

The present Innova is among the best sellers of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, it is a common sight of attraction among the nuclear family system in India. Every month the company sells around 3,847 units of the vehicle. Toyota’s aim with 2016 Innova is to retain the magnificent fortunes created by the vehicle. An Indian launch is expected sometime in early 2016.

Although Innova is legend of the multipurpose vehicle market, Toyota is still wary of existing and upcoming competition. As mentioned earlier the car industry in India has become cut-throat competitive, and the ride this time is not going to be as smooth as before with Innova. Honda recently launched Mobilio MPV to fight the fierce battle with Innova and gain a firm foothold in its rare multipurpose vehicle market. Mobilio is already an instant best seller, and the design strategy is parallel to Innova, visible in the magnificent size, vast interior room and homely stance. Besides Mobilio, the other arch rivals are Tata Aria, Maruti Ertiga, Chevrolet Enjoy and Nissan Evalia. The expected price range is Rs 9 to 15 lakhs.

After the introduction of Mobilio, the customer sentiment value for Innova has diminished to a great extent. The car has not lost its sheen, but is just not the centre of attraction anymore. Toyota will re-create the reduced popularity of Innova with a new 2016 model.

Toyota’s Indian counterpart Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) had attempted to crack the very lucrative and popular compact hatchback car market of the country with the Etios Liva. However, the Liva never lived up to the sales expectations of the maker. The compact Etios sedan is also not that popular to make the company happy and this had prompted TKM to announce that the company is withdrawing from the compact car market of India and will concentrate only on the larger and more premium cars.

So, what actually caused the change of mind for Toyota India? Well, a look at the sheer number of the mini car models on the Indian roads like the Maruti Altos, Hyundai Eon and Tata Nano will give the answer. The compact or mini hatchback segment is very popular in India and comprises a chunk of the market and thus, is the new market for consideration for Toyota India. Toyota surely wishes to compete with top car makers of India namely maruti Suzuki and Hyundai and thus, is considering launching a new car in the below Rs.7 lakh price slab.

The Japanese car major has confirmed its interest in this particular compact car market of India. The Managing Director at Toyota Motor, Naomi Ishii has revealed in a recent interview that the company does not have a good presence in the under-7 lakh car market of India, which generates almost 70 to 80 percent of the total sales. Thus, it is expected that TKM is thinking to re-enter the compact car market of India, and most probably with a new affordable small car which will be India specific.

One of the biggest hurdles in the path of Toyota in cracking the compact car market of India is the right pricing. Moreover, the Toyota Etios and Liva are not as alluring as it market rivals which also stood in the path of success for these worthy cars. In order to resolve these issues, Toyota has also been looking to setup a Research & Development centre in India. At present, most of the company’s R&D work is handled by its centers in Japan and Thailand.

Most of the major competitors of TKM are constantly increasing the localization for their vehicles, resulting in reduced production cost and more affordable tags. Once Toyota also establishes its local R&D centre and network in India, the company will be all set would be ready to start its price war in the small car market of India.

Toyota is primarily a premium car maker in India, with around 50-60 percent market share with its bestselling models such as the Innova, Fortuner and Corolla.

Toyota foresees its Indian unit to be a robust profit driving sector for the established Japanese based parent firm, as confirmed by the Managing director of the company Naomi Ishii. The Indian segment Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is developing innovative strategies to convince its potential to reputed representatives in Japan.

The Indian car segment is not in its best state at the moment, the market is on a recovery state, after a two year slump. Despite the pressures at macro level, overseas firm still view India to be a favorable profit driving hub. According to Ishii, India is an immensely profitable sector; it’s got incredible potential to cross 10 million mark. The growth outcome does not stop here and the market is expected to improve within ten years from now. In the coming decade Ishii is certain that the global profit making position of India will be on the level of Japan, Europe, China and US.

Ishii has given an insight into the factors that makes India an admirable market for international firms. Firstly the establishment of a strong Research and Development (R and D) unit of parent firms, Honda, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, and the long term availability of resources. The labor force in India is relatively cheap, which makes manufacturing more reasonable that leads to the acquirement of increased localization.

According to the latest buzz, Toyota plans to build a small car to fight the aggressive competition with Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki. Ishii says that the plan is not ruled out. The main players are Liva hatchback and Etios sedan, and reports state that the company is targeting the lower price market. Ishii is aware of Toyota’s rare presence in the sub Rs 7 lakh market, the thriving market is the over Rs 12 lakh segment, and this is the area that holds about 10% market share. The overall market volume of Toyota is 70 to 80%, and the main profit maker in this segment is Toyota Camry. Toyota has produced one time wonders in each segment, visible on Innova multipurpose vehicle and Fortuner sport utility vehicle.

Toyota has worked its way towards strengthening market share in India with the launch of new Corolla Altis and Etios Cross. Both cars have generated instant fortunes. Etios Cross offers a new form of car excitement and adventure, highlighted by side black cladding. The new Altis is the eleventh gen model and is covered with a more premium dressing. Etios Cross is in great demand, the company rolls out 1,500 units a month.

Toyota has a best seller in every segment; the development of a new car is a good move to become a royal global power. The company has an attractive small car base overseas and the best seller is Yaris.

The confirmation of its plan to launch a small car was revealed by the Managing director of Toyota, Naomi Ishii. Toyota is a powerful brand in India, and has explored a variety of genres such as hatchback with Etios Liva, sedan-Etios, sport utility vehicle-Fortuner, multipurpose vehicle-Innova, luxury sedan-Corolla Altis, and crossover-Etios Liva cross. The company has rarely explored the small below Rs 7 lakh segment in the country. The small car market is a profitable sector, and accounts for 70 to 80% market share volume.

The ace competitors in small car market are Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, Toyota is eyeing the two companies to have a strong foothold in the market. Maruti Suzuki has introduced incredible diversity and technology into the small car market, visible on Swift, Alto k10, WagonR and Celerio. Swift runs on advanced K series engine technology and Celerio is fueled with an innovative automated manual transmission (AMT) technology. The principle behind the operation of AMT is a clutch less motion. Hyundai too has reaped admirable fortunes in the small car market; its best sellers are i10, i20, Eon and Santro.

Going by the series of hatchbacks from the stables of Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, it does seem like a long struggle for Toyota. Although the small car market is a rare venture, the company has the power to succeed. Toyota’s Etios Liva hatchback is a key profit driver, and if the firm can develop another small car with the same sheen value as Liva, then it will surely be an attention-grabber.

The parent Japanese firm views India to be a robust global sector, and is analyzing the feasibility of establishing a Research and Development (R and D) unit in the country. To enhance localization the firm plans to strengthen local supplies in the coming three to five years. Toyota’s market share volume in the under Rs 12 lakh market is 50 to 60%.

The Indian car market is bustling with competition; Toyota has to not only cater the existing range, but new ones as well. Tata Motors is geared to unveil its all new Bolt, and Maruti Suzuki will introduce a new facelift Swift. The market share volume of Hyundai in hatch segment has increased, because of its new line of creativity visible on i10 Grand and Elite i20.

Toyota has not exposed feature details of its small car project, but it certainly has the power to succeed over its arch rivals Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. The reason to justify this statement is the company has created one wonder legends inscribed on Fortuner sport utility vehicle, Innova multipurpose vehicle and Corolla Altis luxury sedan.

It will be interesting to view Toyota’s new small car, and is surely expected to be as plush as Corolla Altis or Etios.
