With BSVI emission standards coming into effect from April 1, 2020 Toyota has fully transitioned its portfolio to meet the stringent norms. However, it comes at the expense of discontinuing long-running models like the Etios sedan, Etios Cross, Liva hatchback and Corolla Altis D-segment premium sedan.

No units of Land Cruiser, Prado and Prius were sold last month as well. The sales of the Yaris have been underwhelming since its market debut and the arrival of Glanza, rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno, has helped in the brand gaining much-needed volumes since the middle of last year. Toyota relies on its partnership with Suzuki to register volume sales domestically in the immediate future as more rebadged models are coming.

 

The badge-engineered Vitara Brezza appears to be next in line. It could go on sale in the coming months and will be based on the recently facelifted version. It will draw energy from a 1.5-litre BSVI compliant mild-hybrid petrol engine producing 105 PS and 138 Nm of peak torque.
