Toyota Taisor: New Addition to the Lineup

In April this year, Toyota added the new Urban Cruiser Taisor to its lineup; deliveries of the SUV started last month. Priced at Rs 7.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the model is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and the sixth product under collaboration between Maruti Suzuki and Toyota. The Taisor has two petrol engines: a 1.0-turbo unit with 99bhp and 148Nm and a 1.2-litre NA engine with 88bhp and 113Nm. The turbocharged petrol engine comes with a six-speed automatic torque converter unit in addition to a manual gearbox, while the 1.2-litre unit may be mated to either a five-speed manual or a five-speed AMT. 

The design highlights include a new honeycomb grille, tweaked front bumpers, and linear-style LED DRLs in place of Fronx's three-cube ones. The Taisor rides on the newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels with diamond cuts. The car is available in five paint jobs: Cafe White, Enticing Silver, Sportin Red, Lucent Orange, and Gaming Grey. You can opt for the first three with a blacked-out roof. The cabin comes equipped with features such as a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, connected car technology, wireless phone charging, head-up display, 360-degree cameras, rear AC vents, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat.
