The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor is the fourth model to yield from the Maruti-Toyota alliance.
Distinguishing itself with a fresh honeycomb-style grille adorned with a chrome strip cutting through the Toyota badge at the front, the Urban Cruiser Taisor also gets revised LED daytime running lights divided into two elements, a departure from the tri-LED setup found on the Fronx. The Taisor sports distinct alloy wheels, and retains the connected tail-light setup of its Maruti counterpart.
Inside, the Taisor shares the same layout as the Fronx, featuring a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Notable features include wireless phone charging, head-up display, 360-degree cameras, cruise control, connected car technology, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and rear AC vents. Safety features include six airbags, an electronic stability program (ESP), and hill hold assist.
