It is expected that Suzuki Altis, which will be based on the 11th gen Toyota Corolla is also expected to make a debut towards year-end or early 2020.
The facility will accommodate 25,000 units for the Baleno-based Glanza. After India, the brands will eye to enter the European and African markets with the crossover.
The Toyota Baleno is expected to roll-out by mid-2019. Images of its first look have surfaced on the internet! Here’s what it looks like:
