Safety and Style: Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor Gets a Double Dose of Upgrades
In the bustling world of compact SUVs, where every detail matters, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has once again shown its commitment to keeping up with the times. The beloved Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor has just received two significant updates that are sure to turn heads and provide peace of mind: a striking new paint scheme and a major safety upgrade that makes six airbags standard across the entire range.
It’s a welcome change that feels both strategic and customer-focused. While the automotive industry often reserves top-tier safety features for higher-end trims, Toyota has taken a bold step by democratizing safety. Now, whether you opt for the entry-level ‘E’ variant or the top-of-the-line ‘V’ trim, your Taisor comes equipped with a comprehensive six-airbag setup. This includes not just the standard dual front airbags, but also crucial side and curtain airbags, offering enhanced protection for all occupants. This move truly sets a new benchmark in the segment and underscores Toyota’s dedication to passenger safety.
But the upgrades aren’t just about what’s on the inside. Toyota has also introduced a sleek new exterior shade: Bluish Black. This elegant and contemporary color option adds a touch of sophistication and mystery to the Taisor’s already stylish silhouette. It’s a small but impactful addition that allows customers to further personalize their vehicle. This new shade is available on select trims, adding a fresh visual appeal to the popular compact SUV.
Beyond these updates, the Taisor continues to impress with its tried-and-tested formula. Under the hood, it offers a choice between a 1.2L K-Series petrol engine and a zippy 1.0L turbo petrol engine, both known for their commendable fuel efficiency of up to 22.79 km/l. With three transmission options—a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed AMT, and a 6-speed automatic—there’s a Taisor for every kind of driver.
The Taisor’s design remains a key highlight, with its sharp LED headlamps, twin LED DRLs, and a distinctive trapezoidal chrome-accented grille giving it a confident road presence. Inside, the cabin is a hub of modern convenience and comfort. The dual-tone interior feels premium, while features like the 60:40 split rear seats and rear AC vents ensure practicality for the whole family.
Technologically, the Taisor is well-equipped. The touchscreen infotainment unit supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making connectivity seamless. Modern features like cruise control, paddle shifters (on automatic variants), wireless charging, and Toyota i-Connect with smartwatch and voice assistant compatibility elevate the driving experience. And to top it all off, safety systems like Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Hold Assist, and ISOFIX mounts are standard, reinforcing its appeal as a safe and reliable family vehicle.
As one of the success stories born from the collaboration between Toyota and Maruti Suzuki, the Taisor, based on the popular Fronx compact crossover, has carved out a respectable niche for itself in the Indian market. With prices starting at an attractive Rs. 7.77 lakh (ex-showroom), it remains a compelling choice. Customers can also benefit from Toyota’s standard 3-year/100,000 km warranty, which is extendable to 5 years/220,000 km, along with Toyota’s Express Maintenance and 24×7 roadside assistance.
For those eager to get a closer look at the updated model, the new Taisor is available at Arena dealerships, and for the digital-savvy buyer, it can be booked online through Toyota Bharat’s official website. These latest enhancements ensure that the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor is not just a decently selling compact SUV, but a vehicle that truly stands for safety, style, and peace of mind.
