While we are waiting for the next-generation Innova, a report suggests that the latest iteration of the MPV will be launched in Thailand in Q3 2015. The same model is expected to be launched for the Indian market by early 2016.
The Thailand market launch for the new Innova will then take place sometime between July and September this year. Toyota's production facility located in Karawang, Indonesia will start manufacturing the MPV in the corresponding period. These units will be sold not just for the Indonesian market but will also be exported to Thailand according to the report.
Toyota Kiloskar Motors will launch the new Innova and the updated Fortuner in our country. The company has planned to increase localisation on these new models, the details of which are expected to emerge soon.
TKM started as a joint venture between Kirloskar Group and Toyota Motor Corporation in India in October 1997. Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited is the company which currently handles all the business and affairs including manufacture and sales of Toyota cars in India.
