Toyota has also launched a new entry level model trim of the Fortuner SUV with a 2.5 liter engine and a new 3.0 liter all 4 wheel drive AT variant of the SUV in the last month.

TKM will also have a sole new model launch in India this year in the form of the Hiace people mover. The company has already announced about its plans to launch the new Hiace to the Indian car market in mid 2015.

While this year, the world’s top auto maker will not be launching many new models in India, next year will be a big launch year. For 2016 TKM is all geared up to launch the new generation models of two of its bestselling products in India, namely the Innova MPV and the Fortuner premium SUV. As per the reports, the all new Innova and the all new Fortuner are expected to be introduced to the world this year, while their Indian launches are highly expected to be taking place on the platform of the 2016 Indian Auto Expo which will be held in February next year.

While the big launches are reserved for the next year, TKM will retain the interest levels of its customers by introducing on special edition models and new model trims of its existing vehicles.
