An idea that made big waves last year will come to life in 2019. Maruti Suzuki will start supplying the Baleno hatchback and Vitara Brezza compact SUV to Toyota, with the first of the shared models set to hit the market in the second quarter of 2019. We can confirm the new models won't be mere badge-engineered versions of their donor products but instead, are likely to sport significantly revised styling. It is expected that 'soft parts' such as bumpers, the grille, and lights will be different to ensure Toyota's versions have a distinct visual identity. Sheet metal changes are unlikely, however, to keep costs in check. Under the skin, the Maruti and Toyota models will be identical and will share engines and gearboxes.
