Fronx-Based Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor Launched In India At Rs 7.73 Lakh

Toyota India has expanded its model range with the launch of its new sub-compact crossover, named the Urban Cruiser Taisor. The latest model to emerge from the Toyota-Suzuki alliance lineup, the Urban Cruiser Taisor is priced from Rs 7.73 lakh to 13.03 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The Urban Cruiser Taisor is based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx crossover, but sports distinctive styling cues that set it apart from its Suzuki counterpart. This marks Toyota's fourth model derived from Suzuki currently on sale, following the Glanza (based on the Baleno), Rumion (based on the Ertiga), and the Urban Cruiser Hyryder (mechanical twin of the Grand Vitara, jointly developed with Suzuki).

Bookings for the Urban Cruiser Taisor have commenced today, 03 April 2024, at Rs. 11,000 with deliveries beginning from May 2024.
