Maruti Fronx-based Toyota Taisor teased ahead of launch

The Urban Cruiser Taisor is expected to be offered with the same engine options as the Fronx.

Toyota has released a teaser of its upcoming compact crossover. The new model, called Urban Cruiser Taisor, is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. It will be unveiled on April 3, 2024.

Like other badge-engineered models in Toyota’s line-up, the Urban Cruiser Taisor will feature the same top hat as the Fronx. That being said, it is likely to get a revised front grille, in line with Toyota’s design language and other minor cosmetic changes.

The interior of the Urban Cruiser Taisor could be largely identical to the Fronx. It will come equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera and a heads-up display.

The Urban Cruiser Taisor is expected to be offered with the same engine options as the Fronx. These include a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 89 BHP and 113 Nm and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit that puts out 99 BHP and 148 Nm. Both engines come with a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. While the 1.0L engine gets an optional 6-speed automatic, the 1.2L unit could be equipped with a 5-speed AMT.
