Toyota India has launched the Maruti Fronx-based crossover Urban Cruiser Taisor in the country at a starting price of Rs 7.73 lakh. It is the sixth product under the Toyota-Maruti Suzuki collaboration in India. Reservations for these have started and deliveries will start from May 2024.

The Urban Cruiser Taisor represents Toyota's fourth effort to rebrand its Maruti models, following the adaptation of the Baleno, Brezza and Ertiga into the Glanza, Urban Cruiser and Rumion respectively. While previous rebranded models have undergone subtle changes, the Taisor SUV is expected to undergo more significant changes.

In terms of design, the Taisor is based on the Fronx, so it bears similar dimensions and silhouette with an updated front and rear profile. Visual elements that make it different include a revised front grille, tweaked bumpers, new-style LED daytime running lights and redesigned alloy wheels.

The cabin of Toyota Taisor sports a new theme inside with new seat upholstery. As for features, the crossover has a large infotainment screen with wireless smartphone connectivity, semi-digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, wireless charger, ambient lighting, steering wheel-mounted controls, 360-degree surround camera, and a head-up display.

Mechanically, the Toyota Taisor continues to use the same powertrain as the Maruti Fronx. It is equipped with a 1.2-litre NA petrol engine producing 88bhp/113Nm and a 1.0 turbo petrol engine producing 99bhp/148Nm. The 1.2 can be combined with a five-speed manual or a five-speed AMT; The turbo gasoline engine can be equipped with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic torque converter unit. Select models also offer the option of a company-installed CNG kit.

Toyota Motor is all set to launch its first car in the Indian market this year with the introduction of the Urban Cruiser Taisor. The newest product of the Japanese automaker, which has stepped into the compact SUV segment, is derived from the Maruti Suzuki Fronx platform. With the price of the Taisor SUV planned for today being announced soon, reservations are expected to start at the same time.
