Toyota Taisor

Toyota has marked its re-entry into the sub-4 metre SUV segment by introducing the Urban Cruiser Taisor, which is based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. It has been launched at an introductory price of Rs 7.74 lakh (ex-showroom). Even though the overall silhouette remains the same as the Fronx, Toyota has given it bespoke design touches to help the Taisor stand out from the Fronx. That said, the interior dashboard layout with the black/maroon colour scheme is similar to that in the Fronx. The Urban Cruiser Taisor is available in three engine options spread across five different trim levels.
