The Toyota Belta is a rebadged version of the Maruti Ciaz and will replace the Yaris in India.

Toyota has revealed a new mid-size sedan for the Middle Eastern markets. It's the Toyota Belta - a rebadged version of the Maruti Ciaz.

In terms of design, the Belta features the same front grille, bumper and headlights as the Ciaz. Similarly, the rear end is exactly the same except for the Toyota badge on the boot lid.

The Belta is powered by the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine that is offered in the Ciaz. It produces 103 BHP and 138 Nm and comes paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

The Toyota Belta will be manufactured in India for left-hand drive markets including the Middle East.

The Belta does not feature any cosmetic changes and looks identical to the Ciaz.

More images of the rear of the Toyota Belta have surfaced online ahead of the car's launch.

Toyota is likely to introduce the Fortuner Legender 4x4 and Belta sedan in the coming weeks.

Toyota has announced a price hike across all its models from October 1, 2021. Prices are being raised to offset the increase in input costs.

Meanwhile, Toyota is gearing up to replace the Yaris with a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, called the Belta. The former was officially discontinued earlier this month.

The Belta will use the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine as the Ciaz. This engine produces 103 BHP and 138 Nm and comes paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

Reports also suggest Toyota is likely to introduce the Fortuner Legender 4x4 in the first week of October. The carmaker could replace the spare alloy wheel with a steel rim to reduce costs, while 2-zone automatic climate control could be made standard across the range.

The Yaris will be replaced with a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, which will be sold as the Toyota Belta.

The Toyota Yaris has been officially discontinued in India with effect from September 27, 2021.

The Yaris was launched in May 2018. A year later, Toyota introduced a dual-tone version, and in January 2020, the car received a BS6-compliant engine. The 1.5-litre petrol engine produced 106 BHP and 140 Nm. It was paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed CVT. The carmaker has confirmed that it will continue to provide support to existing customers.

Toyota's official statement:

Toyota Kirloskar Motor announces the discontinuation of Yaris in India with effect from 27th Sep 2021. This move is a part of Toyota’s product strategy to continue to cater to the ever-evolving needs of the customer through enhanced technologies and product offerings. In every sense, the Yaris is truly a top-class, versatile sedan. Ever since its India debut, the Yaris built on Toyota’s QDR philosophy, won the hearts of the customers with its stunning style & design, leading features, low maintenance cost and unmatchable drivability, thus creating a unique ownership experience. We thank all our customers for their support and placing their trust in the brand. We would like to continue to serve such customers with other current offerings and preparations are underway to launch new Toyota models in the coming new year 2022.

Further, Toyota will continue to seamlessly cater to all Yaris customers’ needs through our dealer service outlets across the country, along with the promise of availability of Toyota genuine spare parts for minimum next 10 years on this discontinued model.

As we all know, the Yaris is being replaced with a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, which will be sold as the Toyota Belta.

The Belta will use the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine as the Ciaz. This engine produces 103 BHP and 138 Nm and comes paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

The rebadged Ciaz is expected to replace the Yaris in Toyota's line-up.

Images of the upcoming Toyota Belta sedan have surfaced online. The rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is expected to be launched next month.

According to the leaked image, the exterior of the Belta will be identical to the Ciaz. Except for the badge, it has the same front fascia with all the chrome bits. The car isn't expected to feature any major changes on the interior either.

The Yaris is also called Belta in other markets like Japan, China and Malaysia.

Toyota could launch the rebadged Maruti Ciaz in August 2021. The car will be called the Toyota Belta and will replace the Yaris, whose production has reportedly been stopped.

According to Toyota, the name Belta is inspired by the Latin word Belle which means beautiful. The Yaris is also called Belta in other markets like Japan, China and Malaysia.

Just like other rebadged models in Toyota's line-up, the Belta is likely to feature minor cosmetic changes, mostly focused around the front fascia. The interior of the car is expected to be identical to the Ciaz.

Under the bonnet, the Belta will use the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine as the Ciaz. This engine produces 103 BHP and 138 Nm and comes paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
