Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has introduced its most affordable SUV in the country in the form of the Urban Cruiser Taisor. The new Toyota Urban Cruiser Taser is priced starting at Rs 7.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is a subcompact SUV based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Let's take a closer look at this badge-engineered offering.

The Bronx and the new urban cruiser Taser share the same aspect ratio. To give it a new look, the front has been updated. The new twin LED DRLs with the Toyota emblem in the centre and a honeycomb mesh grille are features of the coupe-style subcompact SUV.

Updated LED taillights are also added to the SUV; they are connected by a light bar located on the boot. In addition, the model features alloy wheels in a new style. The raked rear windscreen that gives the Taisor its fashionable appearance is still present.

Its interior closely resembles that of the Maruti Suzuki Front. It has a twin-pod instrument console with a MID unit in the centre, along with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The cabin now has a new dual-tone treatment.

Toyota Taser gets features like automatic climate control, connected car technology, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 360-degree camera, head-up display, cruise control and automatic LED headlamps with DRL. Apart from this, this subcompact SUV comes with a 6-speaker sound system, push-button start/stop and rear AC vent.

The new Toyota Tasar is offered with 1.2-litre naturally aspirated and 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine options. The 1.2 motor produces 89 bhp and 113 Nm of peak torque, while the turbocharged unit produces 99 bhp and 148 Nm of peak torque.

Transmission options include a 5-speed manual with both power mills, while the naturally aspirated motor gets a 5-speed AMT and the turbo petrol gets a 6-speed torque converter. A CNG powertrain is also available in it.
