Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor launched at Rs 7.74 lakh

Toyota has launched the Taisor compact SUV in India at a starting price of Rs 7.74 lakh, going up to Rs 13.04 lakh for the top-end trim. Essentially a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, the Toyota Taisor features some cosmetic changes over the donor car.

1. Urban Cruiser Taisor is the smallest Toyota SUV in India
2. Slightly pricier than Maruti Fronx
3. Available with 1.2-litre petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and CNG powertrains

Here's a detailed look at the prices of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor in India: 

Being just a rebadge, the Urban Cruiser Taisor shares almost all its body panels with the Maruti Fronx, albeit with subtle differences like a redesigned front grille with a honeycomb pattern and slightly restyled front bumpers. The LED DRLs feature a new linear design as opposed to the three cubes seen on the Fronx. The tail-lights have also been tweaked, but just like the donor SUV, they're connected with a full-width light bar. The Taisor also gets a new design for the 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Colour options include Cafe White, Enticing Silver, Sportin Red, Lucent Orange and Gaming Grey. The former three can also be had with a blacked-out roof.

Safety is taken care of by six airbags, electronic stability program (ESP), hill-hold assist, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

Powering the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor are the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol and 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engines. The former makes 90hp and 113Nm, and can be had with either a 5-speed manual transmission or an AMT. Meanwhile, the turbo-petrol engine (100hp/148Nm) is available with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Toyota is also offering a CNG option with the NA engine.

The Urban Cruiser Taisor is not only a direct rival to the Maruti Fronx, but also faces competition from a long list of compact SUVs including the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue and the Mahindra XUV300. The Mahindra will also see a major update in the coming weeks.
