Toyota FJ Cruiser Design Patent Leaked- Will It Come To India?
Toyota teased a shadowy teaser of an SUV two years ago, showing a boxy design. Since then, there have been multiple hints that the Japanese manufacturer is putting in efforts to develop a relatively small off-road capable SUV. However, until now, we have not had a clear view of the vehicle's design. This changes now as the design patent of the new Toyota FJ Cruiser has surfaced. The automaker filed the design patent back in January 2024, but it was only recently discovered. The image shows multiple similarities to the shadowy image showcased by the automaker earlier. Because of the details of the SUV revealed earlier, it was touted to be a mini-Fortuner. Many reports even claimed that this SUV will be the latest addition to the automaker's India lineup. But is this claim based on facts? We will circle back to the question after taking a look at the design of the SUV. With a butch design, the Toyota FJ Cruiser will likely be based on an altered version of the IMV ladder frame chassis. This platform has been employed by the brand on the Hilux Champ pickup, which is on sale in some Asian countries like Thailand and Indonesia. In the Indian market, this platform underpins the Hilux, Fortuner, and Innova Crysta. The image also reveals that the FJ Cruiser will have a design consisting of straight lines. This will be complemented by the presence of prominent front fenders, thick C-pillars, and an upright rear end with a full-size spare wheel mounted on the rear gate. Meanwhile, the lower end of the vehicle, including the bumpers, fenders, and side skirts, are covered in plastic cladding, highlighting its off-road capabilities. The brand also seems to have placed the SUV rather high off the ground. This quality of the vehicle will be even more pronounced if equipped with off-road capable tires when it enters the real world. There is no word on the powertrain of the vehicle. However, the SUV is likely to have a 2.7-litre four-cylinder petrol engine of the brand, which is also found under the hood of the Fortuner. Toyota has not ascertained that the FJ Cruiser will be launched in the Indian market. However, if it finds its way into the subcontinent, it will likely be placed below the Fortuner to compete against the likes of the Mahindra Thar Roxx.

Electric L5 three-wheeler segment records rapid shift from ICE to EVs; policy and fleet demand drive growth: Report
India's L5 electric three-wheeler (E3W) passenger segment registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 193.6 per cent between FY2023 and FY2025, driven by cost efficiencies, fleet electrification, and policy initiatives, according to a report by JMK Research. The L5 category refers to high-powered and larger passenger three-wheelers that are increasingly replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) models in urban and peri-urban mobility. The report noted that while electric three-wheelers carry a higher upfront cost, their lower operating costs—estimated at ₹0.50–0.70/km compared to ₹3–4/km for ICE vehicles—make them economically viable for operators with 8–12 hour daily usage. Payback periods are typically within 12–18 months. Mahindra Last Mile Mobility led the electric L5 segment in FY2025 with 52,246 units sold. More than 90 per cent of its L5 portfolio comprised electric models. The report attributed Mahindra's performance to its widespread after-sales network and accessible financing options. Bajaj Auto, which entered the L5 electric passenger segment in FY2024, sold 46,118 units in FY2025, with electric vehicles accounting for 12 per cent of its total L5 sales. TVS Motor, which launched its electric L5 models in January 2025, recorded 1,696 unit sales in FY2025, with an electric penetration of 7 per cent. Piaggio continued to maintain a presence in the electric market, although its reliance remains primarily on ICE-powered three-wheelers. Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) was noted in the report for its product innovation and battery-swapping solutions, as well as initiatives such as the 'Pink Auto Rickshaws' aimed at enhancing female driver participation. The report highlighted that urban transport demand and adoption by fleet operators, including Uber and Rapido, were fuelling institutional uptake of electric L5 three-wheelers. OEMs are responding by designing vehicles suited to Indian road conditions, improving range and durability, and offering extended warranties. Looking ahead, JMK Research stated that the sector's trajectory would be shaped by battery technology advancements, access to tailored financing, scaling up of charging and battery swapping infrastructure, and state-level EV policies. In this context, the report cited Delhi's draft EV Policy 2.0, which proposes ending the issuance and renewal of CNG auto-rickshaw permits and reserving all new permits exclusively for electric vehicles. The policy shift, the report noted, could lead to a large-scale transition in public transport fleets and accelerate EV adoption in the national capital. The report concluded that the segment's growth would require collaboration among OEMs, financing institutions, and policy stakeholders to support widespread deployment of electric L5 passenger three-wheelers across the country.
