Toyota Kirloskar Motor has announced some exciting updates for its popular compact SUV, the Urban Cruiser Taisor. Designed for both performance and safety enthusiasts, the refreshed model now introduces six airbags as standard across all variants and a stunning new Bluish Black exterior shade, adding a sophisticated touch to the lineup’s appeal.
The new paint option aims to provide additional variety for customers looking to personalize their Taisor. However, it’s the safety upgrade that truly positions the update as a standout. The comprehensive airbag setup, which includes dual front airbags, side airbags, and curtain airbags, makes the SUV one of the safer options for families in this segment. The inclusion of six airbags across all trims, from E to V, demonstrates Toyota’s commitment to elevating safety standards for all drivers.
Under the hood, the Urban Cruiser Taisor continues to offer performance versatility with two efficient engine options. Customers can choose between a 1.2L K-Series petrol engine and a 1.0L turbo-petrol engine, ensuring excellent fuel efficiency of up to 22.79 km/l. It also provides flexibility in driving preferences, offering three distinct transmission setups – 5-speed manual, 5-speed automated manual, and 6-speed automatic.
From the outside, the Taisor retains its bold and dynamic design, featuring sleek LED headlamps, twin LED daytime running lights, and a trapezoidal chrome-accented grille that adds a refined edge to its aesthetic. The interior continues to impress with a dual-tone cabin that marries comfort and functionality. Key highlights include features like rear AC vents, 60:40 split rear seats for added flexibility, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a touchscreen infotainment system. The SUV also boasts advanced conveniences such as paddle shifters for sportier driving and wireless charging to cater to today’s tech-savvy drivers.
When it comes to safety, Toyota doesn’t compromise. The SUV includes critical systems like Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Hold Assist, and ISOFIX child seat anchor points, making it a reliable option for those traveling with young passengers. These upgrades enhance the Taisor’s reputation as a well-rounded choice in the competitive compact SUV segment.
The Urban Cruiser Taisor is priced starting at an attractive Rs. 7.77 lakh (ex-showroom) and offers comprehensive ownership benefits. Customers can enjoy a 3-year/100,000 km warranty, extendable to 5 years/220,000 km, along with Toyota’s Express Maintenance Program and 24×7 roadside assistance. These perks solidify Toyota’s efforts to provide exceptional value and peace of mind throughout the ownership experience.
Available at Arena dealerships and via the Toyota Bharat website, the Urban Cruiser Taisor has been one of Toyota’s standout compact SUVs in India. Originally built on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx platform, it represents a successful collaboration between the two automotive giants. With its excellent feature set, competitive pricing, and customer-oriented upgrades, the Taisor continues to make its mark in the Indian automotive market.
Exciting times lie ahead for Toyota enthusiasts, as the company redefines its approach to safety, styling, and customer experience through models like the Urban Cruiser Taisor.
