Toyota Glanza and Urban Cruiser garner over 1 lakh sales
The understanding between Maruti Suzuki and Toyota has been especially fruitful for the latter, giving Toyota an entry into a space in the Indian car market it has so far found challenging to find a foothold in. As a measure of this success, the Toyota Glanza and Toyota Urban Cruiser have now crossed over 1 lakh units in cumulative sales.

Launched in June 2019, the Toyota Glanza was the first of the models to come from this alliance. A rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno, the Glanza has crossed sales of 65,000 units since its launch. The Toyota Urban Cruiser is a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and has been on sale since September 2020, clocking 35,000 in sales. Toyota says offers, low cost of ownership, extended warranty, and customized finance schemes have helped make these models popular among buyers. The brand has also expanded in tier 2 and tier 3 cities through its 418 dealer outlets which has helped along with its online sales initiatives.
