Toyota’s three-row SUVs get great traction in India – even if they are very expensive. We have seen it with the Fortuner and the Innova. So, to pull the sales figures, the Japanese automaker is working on a whole new 7-seater SUV, the Corolla Cross. It will be positioned below the Innova Hycross in Toyota’s lineup, and here’s everything we know about it so far – Attention Readers! Join us on the WhatsApp Community for daily auto news updates.
New Toyota 7-seater Coming Soon – What’s New?
Toyota has announced it will invest more in developing new vehicles at its newly acquired plant in Sambhaji Nagar, India. While saying that, the Japanese automaker also hinted that the plant will be utilised to make a new SUV. However, the brand hasn’t confirmed which model they were talking about. But we believe it to be the 7-seater version of the Corolla Cross.
The 5-seat version of the Corolla Cross is 4.4 meters long – the 7-seat version could be fairly large, around 4.5m to 4.6m. The SUV is based on the Innova’s platform; hence, the length extension is possible. Interestingly, the 7-seat model based on the Corolla Cross was previously said to enter production by June 2026, but the launch was later postponed. And now, Toyota will possibly move with it again.
As the SUV hasn’t entered production yet, so there isn’t much known about it. But we believe Toyota will keep comfort in mind, so we can expect captain’s seats in the second row, ventilated front and second-row seats, boss mode, reclining seats, and more in its package.

As per the brand, production of this SUV will be carried out at the new Sambhaji Nagar plant. So, expect it to start somewhere around 2028. Hence, it will be launched by the end of that year. Speaking of pricing, we can expect this 7-seater to range between Rs 18 lakh and Rs 28 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
