Tata and Stellantis have reportedly sealed a deal that puts a new Jeep on the Sierra’s ARGOS platform. The mid-size SUV, codenamed J1J, is expected in 2028 with ICE and electric options, and will be built in Maharashtra.

Toyota's October 2026 offers provide benefits of up to Rs. 13.38 lakh on the Land Cruiser 300 MY25, Rs. 3.27 lakh on the Camry Elegant Edition and Rs. 1.25 lakh on the Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

The 2026 Toyota Fortuner Leader Edition has launched in India with prices starting at ₹36.51 lakh. It adds exclusive styling elements, ambient lighting and convenience features, with 4x2 manual and automatic variants on offer.
