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.

Car Sales Stick to Slow Lane in May

HighlightsIndia's passenger vehicle market saw a marginal year-on-year increase of 0.1%, with approximately 352,000 vehicles sold in May 2024. Mahindra & Mahindra achieved a significant sales increase of 21%, selling 52,431 units, while Tata Motors experienced an 11% decline in sales to 41,557 units during the same period. Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported a 22% growth in sales, reaching 29,280 units, driven primarily by demand for Multi-Purpose Vehicles and Sports Utility Vehicles. India's passenger vehicle market remained flat in May even as Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Toyota Kirloskar Motor clocked strong double-digit growth in volumes, riding on robust demand for their utility vehicle lineups. Overall, the industry sold about 352,000 cars, sedans and utility vehicles last month, marking a marginal 0.1% year-on-year increase, according to initial industry estimates. 'There is pressure in the market,' said a senior industry executive who requested not to be identified. 'But we also have to remember that the base is now very high. India is one of the very high markets in the world…selling more than four million passenger vehicles annually. So, even if the growth is modest, and is likely to remain so for some time, volumes are still good,' the person added. Retail sales are estimated to have declined by 0.8% year on year in May, industry insiders said. Most automakers in India report wholesale figures—factory dispatches to dealerships—and not retail sales to customers. Demand in the local market continues to be driven by SUVs. Homegrown auto major Mahindra continued to maintain its lead over rival Tata Motors in May, powered by demand for its range of utility vehicles. Mahindra sold 52,431 units last month, up 21% over 43,218 units sold in May 2024. Tata Motors' passenger vehicle sales fell 11% to 41,557 units from 46,697 units during the same period. 'Thanks to continued demand for our products, we were able to deliver industry-leading growth across our ICE (internal combustion engine powered by petrol or diesel) and BEV (battery electric vehicles) portfolio,' said Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO of automotive division at M&M. Toyota Kirloskar reported an increase of 22% to sell 29,280 units last month, with MPV and SUV segments continuing to be the primary growth drivers.
