Toyota Registers ‘Corolla Quest’ Trademark In India – What’s Cooking?

While all the manufacturers have their hands full with updating their portfolio, how can we expect Toyota to stay behind? The Japanese carmaker is busy making some moves in the Indian market. We recently reported that Toyota has registered ‘Belta’ trademark but what we have today with us is of more relevance and interest. Toyota India has gone ahead and registered the trademark ‘Corolla Quest’. The Corolla nameplate was already available in India for over 15 years, right from the early 2000s to the year 2020, after that, the luxury sedan had to be axed from the company’s portfolio.

It is to be noted here that the sales of the Corolla weren’t exactly motivating and it got lost in the sea of SUVs that have taken over our streets in the past few years.

Could it be the rebadged Ciaz?

It is also being reported that Toyota could utilize the Corolla Quest moniker for its rumoured Ciaz-based sedan. Back in 2019, Toyota and Suzuki joined hands to develop, manufacture and share models with each other. The same collaboration has blessed the world of wheels with the Toyota Glanza and the Urban Cruiser which are based on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Vitara Brezza respectively.
