The leaked document suggests that despatches for the new Toyota Urban Cruiser subcompact SUV will commence from October

The new Toyota Urban Cruiser will essentially be the re-badged version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, and the company has already shared a teaser image of the upcoming SUV. Similar to what we saw with the Baleno and the Glanza, the new Toyota Urban Cruiser is also likely to remain identical to the Vitara Brezza. However, the teaser image shared by the company suggests that the SUV will get an updated face with a larger twin horizontal slat grille, and a revised front bumper. However, the fog lamps, alloy wheels and rest of the exterior elements are likely to remain unchanged.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser will borrow its powertrain from the Vitara Brezza

The cabin design and features are also expected to remain unchanged. However, Toyota is likely to offer an advantage with its warranty packages coupled with its famed after-sales and service. The Toyota Glanza (rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno) for instance, gets a 3 years/100,000 km warranty, with the option to extend it up to 5 years/220,000 km. The same could be on offer with the Urban Cruiser as well.

With regards to powertrain options, the Toyota Urban Cruiser will borrow the 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine from the Vitara Brezza. The BS6 compliant engine is tuned to make about 103 bhp and 138 Nm of peak torque, while mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and an optional 4-speed automatic torque converter unit. The engine also gets a mild-hybrid version that powers Maruti's XL6 and S-Cross, which could also be part of the package.
