Toyota has confirmed that it’s set to officially launch its sub 4 Meter SUV after registering the nameplate months ago; the Urban Cruiser Taisor. The Taisor is essentially a rebagded version of Maruti Suzuki Fronx that joins the Toyota line-up of rebadged models – Glanza, Hyryder, Rumion.
The Taisor is like we said a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Fronx with similar design elements, and features. However, the front face of SUV is expected to be inspired from either the Hyryder, or it could take some design elements from the Glanza. The side profile will sport new alloy wheel design, and the rear profile will likely remain untouched. The cabin as always will look the same as the Fronx, and it’s just going to be a software and logo change.
