Toyota launched the Urban Cruiser Taisor in April 2024. This car was the badge engineered version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx with some minor cosmetic changes. Today, we will talk about the mid spec and the most demanded variant of the Taisor which is the S+. The car is shown in a walkaround video uploaded by The Car Show on YouTube.
Styling changes
The video starts with the front profile of the car which may remind some people of the Innova Hycross. The car comes with a bold styling all around. The front lighting setup is entirely LED. The grille is finished entirely in matte black with minimal chrome elements. Fog lights are not offered in this car.
Regarding the side profile, the car rides on 16-inch black alloy wheels giving the car a sporty vibe. The ORVMs come with integrated turn signals and they offer both the electric adjustment and folding functionality. Other key features in the side profile include thick body cladding, shark fin antenna and roof rails. Keyless entry and push button start are missing in the S+ variant.
The rear profile of the car features a unique sloping roof line design which differentiates it from the other sub compact SUVs in the segment. The taillight setup is LED. The car misses out on necessary features such as the rear wiper with washer and reverse parking camera. Defogger is offered in this variant.
What’s On The Inside?
Now, let’s talk about the cabin of the car. The interior follows a dual tone color combination of brown and black with bronze elements. Soft touch materials can be seen nowhere except the door arm rests. Height adjustment for the driver’s seat is missing in this variant which may be a really important feature for some.
Other offerings in the interior include steering mounted multimedia controls, auto AC, analog instrument cluster with a multi information display (MID), 12V socket, fabric seats, 7-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Rear Ac vents and both front and rear armrest are missing.
