The first fruits of the collaboration between Japanese car manufacturers Suzuki and Toyota are beginning to ripen after the announcement by both companies to share their portfolio with each other last year. ‘Suzuki by Toyota Kenya’ sees Toyota picking compact cars from Suzuki’ catalogue to fill the big gap below the Corolla in the African country.
The cars have not been rebadged, as we expected them to be, but are being sold by the same dealer network as Toyota with some differentiating branding to set the cars apart. The Suzuki compact cars being sold through the Toyota Kenya network include:
Alto 800 - Kes 868,000 (~Rs 6.06 lakh)
Omni Cargo - Kes 925,000 (~Rs 6.46 lakh)
Gypsy - Kes 1,650,000 (~Rs 11.52 lakh)
Swift - Kes 1,600,000 (~Rs 11.17 lakh)
Jimny - Kes 2,700,000 (~Rs 18.84 lakh)
Ertiga - Price not announced
Ciaz - Kes 2,100,000 (~Rs 14.66 lakh)
Vitara - Kes 3,200,000 (~Rs 22.33 lakh)
Not all of these cars are being imported from Maruti’s plant in India, the list is limited to the Alto 800, Swift, Ciaz and Ertiga.
In India, the collaboration is set to spawn rebadged cars rather than the brands selling each other's cars through their respective dealerships. The first in that step will be the Baleno rebadged as a Toyota, expected to be launched sometime later in 2019. The first Suzuki badged Toyota, on the other hand, will be the Corolla Altis.
