In the early months of 2019, Maruti approved the supply of Baleno to Toyota. Towards the festive season, again, we had the Toyota Glanza in market. The latter has managed to make decent sales figures however without denting the sales of Maruti Baleno. Instead, Toyota offers a better warranty package and is even cheaper.
Toyota Urban Cruiser carries its name inspired by the iconic Land Cruiser. The engine, platform and other components will be the same as that of Vitara Brezza. So the Toyota SUV will also get a 1.5 Litre four-cylinder NA petrol engine. The engine is capable of producing 104 PS and 138 Nm of peak torque, with a 5-speed MT and a 4-speed AT as options.
The gearbox options will also remain the same, however, Toyota’s version would be available in just a couple of variants. Even the Smart-Hybrid system will be carried over, for both the manual as well as automatic variants. Urban Cruiser, unlike Glanza, will get some cosmetic differences, slightly revised price range and reshuffling in the features list.
