The brand already provides varied models of its global offering with strong hybrid powertrains.
The most famous hybrid car in the world is a Toyota, i.e the Prius, hence it does make sense that Toyota does find hybrids to be better 1st step in cutting the carbon emissions than simply switching to EV completely.
As per the recent report, the Japanese brand's Indian outfit. The Toyota Kirloskar Motor has revealed that, it plans to push strong hybrids in India once it is ready with newer mass-market models.

The Camry is the Toyota's only hybrid offering in India at the moment and it carries a price tag of nearing to Rs.41.7 lakh(ex-showroom), even though few degree of localized assembly. Then we also have Lexus, Toyota's Luxury arm, which only provides hybrid models in India. Hence, the brand has already been positioning itself as a hybrid specialist here, Albeit in the luxury segments.
The carmaker has provided any hints as to when such as hybrid might be introduced or what it would be, but we expect it would be a new model. The Toyota's mass market hybrid for India would be likely be part of its collaborative effort with Suzuki. We believe that, the new model would be compact SUV, rivalling the likes of Hyundai Creta.
