Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor : Toyota has expanded its lineup significantly with the recent launch of the Urban Cruiser Taisor, its newest SUV model, in the Indian market.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor SUV Features
Design
The Urban Cruiser Taisor takes cues from the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, yet it maintains its uniqueness with updated stylistic elements. The SUV is notable for its eye-catching front end. The front end features a dramatic gloss black honeycomb mesh grille with dual LED DRLs and the classic Toyota symbol in the middle. Redesigned LED taillights linked by a light bar on the boot are among the rear improvements that preserve the model’s svelte appearance with its raked back windscreen.
Cabin/Interior
The Urban Cruiser Taisor’s inside, which includes a twin-pod instrument console with a MID unit and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, is similar to the previous model in terms of comfort and sophistication. Despite featuring a new dual-tone design, the cabin boasts 360-degree camera, head-up display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity, automated climate control, and more. Features like rear AC vents, a push-button start/stop system, and a six-speaker sound system further improve comfort.
Engine
About the engine, there are two available alternatives for the new Toyota SUV: a 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine and a 1.2-liter normally aspirated petrol engine. The turbocharged version produces 99 horsepower and 148 Nm of torque, while the non-turbo model produces 89 horsepower and 113 Nm. Both engine options come with a 5-speed manual transmission; the naturally aspirated version also has a 5-speed AMT, while the turbocharged petrol version is coupled to a 6-speed torque converter. There is also a CNG powertrain option for customers who care about the environment.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor targets rival models in the hotly competitive subcompact SUV market, including the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Kia Sonet. The Tailor seeks to carve out a position in the competitive industry by providing consumers with an additional attractive option in the SUV market with a unique blend of appearance, amenities, and performance.
