2 Upcoming Compact SUV Launches This Year: All the Details!

This year, there will be two new products in the competing compact SUV market.

1. TOYOTA UC TAISOR:

Maruti’s heartfelt architecture will serve as the foundation.
Its design language will resemble that of the Maruti Fronx, but it will have significant changes to both the front and back.
To give this crossover a distinctive look, it will have a new front bumper design with a new Toyota grille and a newly designed projector setup, a new alloy side profile design, and a few small changes to the rear profile design.
The inside will be similar to that of the Fronx, with some minimal Toyota changes.
A 1.0-liter turbo-petrol and a 1.2-liter N.A.-petrol engine are probably the two engine options available.
