Toyota and Suzuki have announced the conclusion of a basic agreement which will see a mutual supply of hybrid and other vehicles between the two companies for the Indian market.
Specifically, Suzuki is set to provide the Baleno and Vitara Brezza models to Toyota, while Toyota will supply the Corolla Altis to Suzuki. The vehicles will be sold by the respective Indian subsidiaries of both companies through their sales networks.
The announcement added that specific details such as vehicle specifications and pricing as well as the schedule of the start of supply and the number of units that will be provided will be considered at a later stage. The automakers said that in line with the “Make in India” initiative promoted by the Indian government, they will strive towards realising this vision by procuring components locally to the best extent possible.
The two automakers have been exploring concrete projects for collaboration in a variety of areas, including that of a mutual supply of products and components, since signing a memorandum towards a business partnership in February last year.
In November 2017, both companies announced that they had inked a memorandum of understanding to consider a cooperative structure for introducing battery electric vehicles in the Indian market sometime around 2020.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So after cloning Mazda, now they oso clone Suzuki as well? Toyota taobleh pakai lor according to basher logic. If want a gud Toyota better get Mazda or Suzuki.
Wow, Suzuki is so high quality, even Toyota trust them fully. This shows how silly Proton is to cerai Suzuki and throw them into the tong sampah
By now, we will have rebadged Grand Vitara as a Proton instead of some China car
Suzuki is still sold in 200 countries globally, China car still mainly sold in China only with the exception of few 3rd world countries
Wow happy family.. Proton > Suzuki ertiga > toyota
Before basher flaunting about sales number, after geely came up, basher flaunting about global market pulak

Btw with great design at attractive price, I would not be able to hold myself to buy a China cars also
Better buy others which are better designed
Since Proton cloned the Honda Accord, Mitsu Lancer and Suzuki Ertiga. Perhaps Proton can supply their proprietary car models to other car companies to penetrate new markets re Persona, Iriz, Suprima, Exora
You want to supply then people want to take? Don’t be naive. Not even Malaysians are buying Proton now.
If I can do it, so can they. Nissan Persona, VW Iriz, Toyota Suprima…
To cut it short, this collaboration between Toyota & Suzuki was made possible by an agreement signed in February 2017.
Its a smart move by both car manufacturer to cooperate in India as it will be a major market in future due to India vast population of more than 1.3 billion.
Mutual benefits at its Best. Its a win win for both & India get the best of Both world(manufacturer). Smart move indeed.
MY and India both right hand drive. Proton can reenter and conquer India market.
Thailand and Singapore also right hand drive, so what?! Don’t be naive.
