Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has recently announced a price increase across its entire model range, effective July 5, 2023. Even though the firm hasn't disclosed the models' increased prices, it has stated that the rise is a result of rising input costs. The Glanza, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the Innova Hycross, the Fortuner, the Legender, the Vellfire, and the Land Cruiser LC300 are among the various models that Toyota offers in our country. Customers may anticipate a minor price rise, differing according to models and variations, although the carmaker hasn't formally revealed the exact percentage increase for each model. Furthermore, Lexus, the carmaker's premium division, recently increased pricing for the ES 300h by up to 2 per cent and gave the same reason for the move.
