The First Glimpse of Toyota Taisor Revealed

The collaboration between Maruti and Toyota is about to introduce another jointly developed product in India, marking the sixth in their lineup. This new offering is the Fronx-based Taisor crossover. Toyota has recently unveiled the first teaser video of the Taisor, building anticipation for its launch scheduled on April 3rd.

 

Details Observed in the Teaser

In the brief teaser provided by Toyota, the refreshed exterior of the Taisor can be seen. The footage showcases LED daytime running lights similar to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, a honeycomb-patterned grille, and a cohesive LED taillight arrangement. Anticipate modified bumpers on the Toyota crossover to distinguish it further from the Maruti Fronx. Additionally, the teaser reveals the Taisor sporting a new orange exterior paint option.

 

Interior and Anticipated Features

 

 

Considering the previous collaborations between Maruti and Toyota, the Taisor might feature a distinct cabin design compared to the donor vehicle. However, aside from this, the Toyota crossover is expected to share identical features and equipment with the Fronx.

You can expect it to include the identical 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, wireless phone charging, a head-up display, and automatic AC with rear vents. For safety, anticipate the Taisor to offer up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, and electronic stability control (ESC).

 

Powertrain Details

Toyota is expected to use the same powertrains as the Fronx for the Taisor which are as follows -

1.2-litre N/A Petrol

1-litre Turbo-petrol

1.2-litre Petrol+CNG

We anticipate the Taisor CNG variant to be available for sale later, following the introduction of the Taisor petrol model in our market, similar to the strategy observed with the Fronx by Maruti.

 

Projected Cost and Competitors

The Toyota Taisor is anticipated to begin at an ex-showroom price of Rs 8 lakh. Similar to the Maruti Fronx, it will serve as a crossover option competing with sub-4m SUVs like the Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, and Hyundai Venue.
