It will be the second product to come out of the Suzuki-Toyota partnership, after the Baleno-based Toyota Glanza. Though it is a rebadged version of the Vitara Brezza, there will be some styling updates on the Urban Cruiser. It will sport a two-slat wedge cut grille, trapezoidal bold fog area, split LED taillamps and more. The SUV will be offered in multiple colour options including single tone and dual-tone shades - Blue, Brown, White, Orange, Silver, Grey, Blue/Black, Brown/Black and Orange/White.

Mechanically, the SUV will employ the same 1.5-litre K-Series petrol mill that also powers the Maruti Vitara Brezza. The petrol engine develops 103 bhp of maximum power against 138 Nm of peak torque. The motor will come mated to a 5-speed manual and an optional 4-speed automatic torque converter unit. It will be pitted against the likes of Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV 300, Tata Nexon, Ford Ecosport and the upcoming Kia Sonet.
