Toyota has officially announced the launch of a new car on April 3. While they haven’t disclosed the name or specific details, speculations indicate that it might be the Taisor, likely a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. If confirmed, the Toyota Taisor 2024 would join the list of shared models between Toyota and Maruti Suzuki, including the Glanza/Baleno, Urban Cruiser Hyryder/Grand Vitara, Rumion/Ertiga, and the Innova Hycross/Invicto.
2024 Toyota Taisor: Exterior and Interior Design Features
Back in August 2023, Toyota trademarked the name “Urban Cruiser Taisor” in India, hinting at a crossover SUV based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. While there are no official images yet, it’s expected to have subtle cosmetic differences from the Fronx to distinguish itself. Anticipated features include cruise control, a 360-degree surround view monitor, head-up display, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, automatic LED headlamps with DRLs, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 6-speaker sound system, wireless charger, colored multi-info display, rear AC vents, and a rear parking camera.
2024 Toyota Taisor: Expected Powertrain Specs
The Taisor is likely to offer the same powertrain options as the Fronx, including a 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter, a 1.2-liter normal petrol engine with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT, and a 1.2-liter CNG bi-fuel option with a 5-speed manual.
Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
---|---|---|---|
1.0L turbo petrol | 100PS | 148Nm | 5-speed MT / 6-speed AT |
1.2L normal petrol | 90PS | 113Nm | 5-speed MT / 5-speed AMT |
1.2L CNG | 78PS | 99Nm | 5-speed MT |
Expected Prices of 2024 Toyota Taisor
The expected price range for the Taisor variants is as follows:
- 1.2L petrol-manual: ₹7.60 lakh to ₹9.0 lakh
- AMT variants: ₹9.0 lakh to ₹9.50 lakh
- Turbo petrol manual: ₹10.0 lakh to ₹12.0 lakh
- Turbo petrol automatic: ₹12.50 lakh to ₹13.50 lakh
- E and S CNG variants: ₹8.55 lakh and ₹9.45 lakh respectively (ex-showroom).
The Taisor’s competitive pricing, especially with turbo petrol variants under ₹10.0 lakh, positions it well in the B2-SUV segment, competing with models like Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV300.
With its impending launch, the Toyota Taisor promises to be a significant player in the highly competitive SUV market, offering consumers a compelling choice with a blend of features, performance, and affordability.
