Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2026 Brezza at a starting price of Rs 7.40 lakh. The carmaker’s compact SUV gets major updates, including a new engine option, gearbox, feature additions and minor changes to its exterior. The 2026 Maruti Brezza will take on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.
New 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ engine produces 110hp and 170Nm.
5-speed manual gearbox replaced by a new 6-speed unit.
Front seat ventilation, air purifier, larger 10.1-inch touchscreen on board.
2026 Maruti Brezza powertrains
Finally gets a turbo-petrol and an underbody-mounted CNG kit
The biggest update for the Brezza comes under its hood. It gets a new 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ direct-injection turbo-petrol engine that develops 110hp and 170Nm. The previous version’s 103hp, 139Nm, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine has been retained with the option of pairing it with a CNG kit. However, CNG versions now feature an underbody-mounted kit like the Victoris, which saves boot space. All powertrains are paired with a new 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while only the 1.5-litre petrol engine offers a 6-speed automatic transmission.
2026 Maruti Brezza exterior updates
Mild updates bring a revised fascia and new alloy wheel designs
On the outside, Maruti has introduced minor styling updates for its compact SUV. The revised fascia gets a newly designed grille with a panel connecting the headlamps finished in dark chrome. The bumper is slightly redesigned with dark chrome elements and a new look for the faux skid plate. While the LED headlamps with L-shaped DRLs have been carried over, the fog lamps have been positioned slightly upwards and sit in a new triangular housing.
In profile, the lower sides of the doors feature new dual-tone cladding and the 16-inch alloy wheels have a fresh design. It’s at the rear where the 2026 Brezza does not see as many changes, as it gets the same tail-lamps and bumper design as before.

Inside, the 2026 Brezza’s cabin gets a revised look. While the same black-and-brown theme is retained, there are newer trim materials, and silver trim pieces from the previous version are now finished in gloss black. The dual-tone leatherette-finished seats feature updated upholstery, and there’s a new set of HVAC switches borrowed from the Victoris.
In the features department, new additions include a larger 10.1-inch (up from 9-inch) Smartplay Pro X infotainment system with built-in navigation and Alexa, 64-colour ambient lighting, front-seat ventilation, air purifier and active cooling for the wireless phone charger. On the safety front, the Brezza now features a tyre pressure monitoring system, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit warning and parking sensors at the front.

Turbo-petrol powered versions feature minor cosmetic upgrades, bringing some distinction with a ‘Turbo’ badge on the tailgate along with red accents for the grille, faux skid plates, wheel arches, and ‘Turbo Boosterjet’ stickers on the rear quarter glass. Maruti has also introduced new Vivacious Orange and Lustrous Beige paint options along with dual-tone finishes with a black roof on these colours as well.

Kia India has officially launched its second mass-market electric car, the Syros EV. While the sub-4m Syros EV directly rivals the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV 3XO, the Kia’s pricing sees quite a bit of overlap with that of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, which is of a segment above. In fact, the top-spec trims of both electric SUVs are identically priced. Therefore, we compared the top-spec versions of the Syros EV and e Vitara on paper to determine which electric SUV offers more bang for your buck.

Expectedly, the Syros EV is 280mm shorter overall (150mm shorter wheelbase) than the e Vitara, but interestingly, the Kia compact SUV is 5mm wider and 30mm taller. Neither Kia nor Maruti Suzuki quote precise boot space figures for their respective electric SUVs, but it’s worth noting that the Syros EV comes with a 16-litre frunk, while the e Vitara completely lacks storage space up front. However, the top-spec e Vitara does get larger alloy wheels than the equivalent Syros EV.

The Syros EV’s battery pack is almost 10kWh smaller than that of the e Vitara, but the Kia is only 17km behind in terms of ARAI-claimed range. Both electric SUVs are front-wheel drive and make similar amounts of power, but the Syros EV edges ahead by a significant 62Nm in terms of torque output. This is partly why the Syros EV claims a 0.6sec quicker 0-100kph time than that of the e Vitara.

Kia and Maruti Suzuki quote AC charging speeds at different wattages, so the Syros EV and e Vitara can’t be directly compared on this front. However, it’s noteworthy that though the e Vitara has a larger battery than the Syros EV, the former takes roughly the same amount of time for a 10-100 percent charge at 7.4kW as the latter does at 11kW. Coming to DC charging, the Syros EV supports up to 100kW, while the e Vitara tops out at 70kW.

Both electric SUVs are quite evenly matched in terms of exterior features, but the Syros EV takes the lead by way of roof rails and door-mounted puddle lamps that project the Kia logo. The Syros EV has flush door handles too, but some may appreciate the e Vitara’s conventional door handles more. Colours are a square win for the e Vitara, as it offers six monotone options and four dual-tone finishes. The Syros X-Line ER can be had in either Aurora Black Pearl or Matte Graphite, both of which are difficult to maintain. Buyers who want other colours have no option but to consider lower-spec Syros EV variants.

Even on the inside, the Syros EV’s feature set comes out on top. Over the e Vitara, the Syros EV packs larger infotainment and instrument displays, an additional screen for climate control settings, a panoramic sunroof, rear sunshades, and ventilation for the rear seat bases – this feature is not available even in electric SUVs a segment above the Syros EV. The e Vitara’s only advantage over the Syros EV is a greater gamut of electrical adjustment for the driver’s seat.

Coming to safety, the e Vitara finally scores a win. It’s the only one here to come with seven airbags and rain-sensing wipers, whereas the Syros EV sets itself apart with side parking sensors. The e Vitara also holds a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP, while the Syros EV has not been tested yet. It’s worth noting, though, that the ICE-powered Syros was awarded 5 stars by Bharat NCAP, so a similar rating for the compact SUV’s electric derivative is very possible.

As noted previously, there is next to no difference in the pricing of the Syros EV X-Line ER and e Vitara Alpha, which means the final decision comes down to your needs and preferences. If you want as many features as possible, are fine with a dark colour, and don’t mind smaller dimensions and funkier styling, the Syros EV X-Line ER is the one to go for. On the other hand, if you want the price you pay to be reflected in the size of the car, more choice in colours, more conventional looks, and are happy to forgo some features, you can consider the e Vitara.
It’s also worth noting that both the Syros EV and e Vitara can be purchased with battery-as-a-service (BaaS), which converts the cost of the battery into separate usage-based EMIs, thereby lowering the upfront cost. Kia has yet to reveal the BaaS price of the Syros EV X-Line ER, but the e Vitara Alpha costs Rs 14.49 lakh – Rs 5.5 lakh off the sticker price – with a Rs 4.39/km battery usage fee.
The Kia Syros EV has been launched in India with prices ranging between Rs 13.49 lakh and Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s also available with BaaS, under which prices start at Rs 7.99 lakh, and Rs 3.3 is charged additionally for per kilometre of usage. This is Kia’s most affordable EV in India, and the brand’s second mass-market EV offering after the Carens Clavis. It is, however, more expensive than its direct rivals, the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV 3XO EV.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Maruti Suzuki कल Brezza का फेसलिफ्ट वर्जन लॉन्च करने वाली है और यह अपडेटेड कॉम्पैक्ट SUV डीलरशिप पर पहुंचनी भी शुरू हो गई है। फिलहाल, नई Brezza की बुकिंग पहले से शुरू हो चुकी है और सोशल मीडिया पर डीलरशिप से इसकी कई तस्वीरें और वीडियो भी सामने आए हैं। इससे साफ है कि नई Brezza अपने नए लुक और ज्यादा फीचर्स वाले केबिन के साथ अब मार्केट में लॉन्च होने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार है।
एक्सटीरियर में बदलाव
पहले लीक हुई तस्वीरों के आधार पर, नई Brezza Facelift का जाना-पहचाना सीधा स्टांस (upright stance) बरकरार रखा गया है, इसलिए पहली नजर में यह काफी हद तक Brezza जैसी ही दिखेगी। ज्यादातर दिखाई देने वाले बदलाव सामने की तरफ हैं, जहां Maruti Suzuki ने एक नई ग्रिल और नए डिज़ाइन वाला बंपर दिया है। इसके अलावा, हेडलैंप और DRLs के डिजाइन में भी थोड़ा बदलाव किया गया है।
वहीं साइड से देखने पर, SUV में नए अलॉय व्हील डिजाइन मिलने की उम्मीद है, जबकि पीछे की तरफ बंपर और टेल-लैंप के अंदरूनी हिस्सों में मामूली बदलाव हो सकते हैं। इसके अलावा, कनेक्टेड LED टेल लैंप की भी चर्चा हो रही है, हालांकि इस बारे में अभी कोई पक्की जानकारी नहीं है।
केबिन में बदलाव
नई Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift के इंटीरियर में पहले के मुकाबले ज्यादा बदलाव देखने को मिलेंगे। कंपनी ने सेंटर कंसोल का डिजाइन अपडेट किया है और इसमें कई नए कंफर्ट और कन्वीनियंस फीचर्स जोड़े हैं, ताकि यह कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में और ज्यादा प्रतिस्पर्धी बन सके।
नए Brezza Facelift में ऑटो-डिमिंग IRVM, सनग्लास होल्डर, ऑटोमैटिक क्लाइमेट कंट्रोल, स्टोरेज के साथ नए डिजाइन का सेंटर आर्मरेस्ट, माउंटेड कंट्रोल्स वाला रीच और रेक-एडजस्टेबल स्टीयरिंग व्हील, 360-डिग्री कैमरा, वायरलेस चार्जिंग पैड और फ्रंट पार्किंग सेंसर्स जैसे फीचर्स शामिल होने की उम्मीद है।
इस फेसलिफ्ट में सबसे बड़ा बदलाव 10.1 इंच का नया टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम हो सकता है, जिसमें इन-बिल्ट ऐप्स और Amazon Alexa सपोर्ट मिलेगा। इसके अलावा, वेंटिलेटेड फ्रंट सीटें भी मिलने की संभावना है, जो खासकर गर्म इलाकों में रहने वाले ग्राहकों के लिए काफी उपयोगी फीचर साबित हो सकती हैं।
इंजन और पावरट्रेन विकल्प
नई Brezza में तीन तरह के इंजन विकल्प मिलने की उम्मीद है। इनमें 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड K15C पेट्रोल इंजन (जो 103 hp की पावर और 139 Nm का टॉर्क देता है), 1.0-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन (जो 110 hp की पावर और 170 Nm का टॉर्क देता है) और एक CNG वेरिएंट शामिल हैं।
ट्रांसमिशन की बात करें तो, पेट्रोल वेरिएंट में 6-स्पीड मैनुअल और टॉर्क कन्वर्टर ऑटोमैटिक गियरबॉक्स का विकल्प मिल सकता है। वहीं, CNG मॉडल केवल मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स के साथ आएगा। इसके अलावा, CNG वेरिएंट में अंडरबॉडी-माउंटेड CNG टैंक मिलने की संभावना है। इससे बूट स्पेस पहले के मुकाबले ज्यादा मिलेगा और कार की उपयोगिता भी बेहतर होगी।
बुकिंग और पोजिशनिंग
नई Brezza Facelift की बुकिंग 11,000 रुपये की टोकन राशि के साथ पहले ही शुरू हो चुकी है और यह SUV पूरे भारत में एरीना डीलरशिप के जरिए बेची जाएगी। मार्केट में नई Brezza का मुकाबला Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue और इस सेगमेंट की अन्य कॉम्पैक्ट SUVs से होगा।
क्या आप एक मिड साइज SUV लेने की सोच रहे हैं? अगर हां, तो Maruti Suzuki India आपके लिए एक बजट फ्रेंडली कार पेश करने जा रही है। दरअसल, देश की सबसे बड़ी कार निर्माता कंपनी 24 जुलाई को Brezza का नया फेसलिफ्ट वर्जन लॉन्च करेगी। नए अवतार में आने वाली इस SUV में कई डिजाइन और टेक्नोलॉजी अपडेट्स के साथ नए पावरट्रेन विकल्प भी देखने को मिल सकते हैं।
साल 2016 में लॉन्च होने के बाद से ही Brezza भारत में सबसे ज्यादा बिकने वाली SUVs में शामिल रही है। अब तक इस SUV की 14 लाख से ज्यादा यूनिट्स बिक चुकी हैं, जिससे यह Maruti Suzuki के SUV पोर्टफोलियो में एक अहम मॉडल बन गई है।
बता दें कि पिछले हफ्ते Maruti Suzuki ने Brezza की बुकिंग शुरू कर दी थी। ग्राहक इस नए वर्जन को कंपनी की वेबसाइट या डीलरशिप के जरिए 11,000 रुपये की टोकन राशि देकर बुक कर सकते हैं।
किन SUV से है मुकाबला?
Maruti Suzuki Brezza अभी अपनी दूसरी जेनरेशन में है, जो 2022 में आई थी। पिछले कुछ सालों में, इसे अपने सबसे बड़े कॉम्पिटिटर Tata Nexon से कड़ी टक्कर मिली है, जो कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में सबसे आगे रही है। इस सेगमेंट में Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet और Mahindra XUV 3XO जैसे दमदार मॉडल भी मौजूद हैं।
इंजन और पावरट्रेन
अगर हम कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में Brezza के कॉम्पिटिटर को देखें, तो वे न सिर्फ पावरट्रेन के मामले में ज्यादा ऑप्शन देते हैं, बल्कि उनमें कई शानदार फीचर्स भी मिलते हैं। ऐसे में, मॉडल को नया बनाए रखने और बिक्री को लगातार जारी रखने के लिए एक फेसलिफ्ट की जरूरत है।
फिलहाल, Brezza में अभी 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली-एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन मिलता है, जो ज्यादा से ज्यादा 103 PS की पावर और 139 Nm का पीक टॉर्क देता है। इस इंजन के साथ 5-स्पीड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन या 6-स्पीड ऑटोमैटिक टॉर्क कन्वर्टर का ऑप्शन मिलता है। इसमें 5-स्पीड MT के साथ CNG का ऑप्शन (88 PS और 121 Nm) भी उपलब्ध है। उम्मीद है कि Brezza फेसलिफ्ट में ये सभी ऑप्शन बने रहेंगे।
इस SUV में सबसे बड़ा बदलाव 1.0-लीटर टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन का जुड़ना होगा। यह वही इंजन है जो अभी Maruti Suzuki Fronx में इस्तेमाल हो रहा है, जिसमें 100 PS की मैक्सिमम पावर और 148 Nm का पीक टॉर्क मिलता है। उम्मीद है कि टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ 6-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स मिलेगा और इसमें ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन का ऑप्शन नहीं होगा। ऐसा शायद कीमत को कंट्रोल में रखने के लिए किया जा सकता है।
1.5-लीटर नैचुरली-एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल और 1.0-लीटर टर्बो पेट्रोल, दोनों इंजन E20 पेट्रोल के अनुकूल होंगे।
इसके अलावा, टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन अपनी परफॉर्मेंस के लिए जाने जाते हैं, न कि ज्यादा माइलेज के लिए। यह बात Maruti Suzuki की उस खासियत से कुछ हद तक अलग है, जिसके लिए कंपनी ईंधन की ज्यादा बचत करने वाली कारों के लिए जानी जाती है।
फीचर्स
फीचर्स की बात करें तो, मारुति सुजुकी की कारें इस मामले में सेगमेंट में सबसे आगे नहीं हैं। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि उनमें फीचर्स की कमी है। बस बात यह है कि कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में दूसरी कंपनियां ज्यादा फीचर्स देती हैं।
हालांकि, Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के साथ इसमें बड़े बदलाव हो सकते हैं। उम्मीद है कि इसमें एडवांस्ड ड्राइवर असिस्टेंस सिस्टम (ADAS), पैनोरमिक सनरूफ, बड़ी टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट स्क्रीन, आगे की तरफ वेंटिलेटेड सीटें, एम्बिएंट लाइटिंग और डुअल-टोन अलॉय व्हील्स जैसे फीचर्स मिलेंगे।
एक्सटीरियर और इंटीरियर स्पेसिफिकेशन्स
एक्सटीरियर डिजाइन की बात करें तो इसमें ज्यादा बड़े बदलाव की उम्मीद नहीं है। इसमें फ्रंट ग्रिल और बंपर में हल्के बदलाव किए जा सकते हैं, जबकि रियर बंपर में भी थोड़ा अपडेट देखने को मिल सकता है।
मुख्य बदलाव केबिन के अंदर किए जाएंगे, ताकि इन-कैबिन फीचर्स के मामले में Brezza फेसलिफ्ट अपने कॉम्पिटिटर्स को कड़ी टक्कर दे सके।
The updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza is one of the most anticipated new cars in the compact segment, and ahead of its launch on July 24, the new Brezza has been spied completely undisguised at a dealership stockyard. It gets subtle cosmetic updates on the outside, important feature upgrades on the inside, but most importantly, a brand-new engine option as well.
Brezza facelift to get new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine
Interior gets new 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats, ambient lighting
Bookings for the new Brezza are already underway
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift exterior and interior updates
This is the first mid-lifecycle update for the Brezza since the second-generation model was introduced in 2022, and the updates on the outside and rather minimal. The grille design has been slightly reworked and it gets a new golden finish as opposed to the grey coloured grille on the current car. It also gets a revised bumper with repositioned fog lamps housed within triangular surrounds. The headlamps and the LED DRLs, however, remain unchanged. In profile, the only notable update includes a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels, while the rear has remained largely unchanged.
The Brezza will get a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen and revised HVAC controls.
The interior sees more meaningful updates, with the highlight being the 10.1-inch infotainment screen that’s also seen on the Victoris. It also adds ambient lighting, front ventilated seats and revised switchgear for the HVAC controls (also shared with the Victoris). There’s also use of new gloss-black trim materials or the dashboard and door pads. On the safety front, the Brezza now gets front parking sensors and it is also expected to come with LEVEL 2 ADAS suite.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza new engine and specs
The biggest update on the Brezza is the addition of a new engine option. It now gets the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine from the Fronx. This 3-cylinder engine is expected to produce 110hp and 170Nm, meaning it will come in a higher state if tune than what it is offered with on the Fronx. Transmission options, however, will be limited to just a 6-speed manual gearbox. Crucially, this engine will finally allow the Brezza to qualify for the sub-4m tax slab.
Other upgrades will include new alloys, ambient lighting and ventilated front seats.
The new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered alongside the existing 103hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The CNG kit paired to this engine is also expected to continue, but it’s now expected to have the Victoris CNG-like underbody tank setup.
It will be interesting to see how Maruti prices the new Brezza. Despite the cosmetic and equipment upgrades, the 1.0-litre engine should help bring down the prices given that it finally qualifies for the sub-4m tax bracket. Whether it undercuts the existing Brezza or is priced roughly the same remains to be seen. For reference, the Brezza currently has an ex-showroom price of Rs 8.26 lakh to Rs 12.86 lakh. It will continue to take on rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.
Tata Motors will be launching the Nexon in South Africa as the Osprey, sometime between July and September 2026. The Tata Osprey, known in India as the Nexon, will join the automaker’s South African portfolio that currently includes the combustion-powered Tiago, Punch, Curvv and Harrier. According to the Indian brand, the name has been inspired by a bird of prey that’s commonly found in several parts of South Africa.

All we know about the upcoming Tata Osprey
Tata Motors South Africa hasn’t given out much details on the upcoming Osprey’s. However, similar to the Nexon sold in India, the Tata Osprey will also be sold with a five-star NCAP safety rating. “South African customers increasingly demand vehicles that combine contemporary styling, technology, practicality and safety along with excellent value for money and the Tata Osprey delivers on all fronts,” said Jeff Allison, General Manager, Marketing and Product for Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles South Africa.
The powertrain options of the upcoming Osprey are undisclosed as of now. However, the combustion-powered Tata Nexon in India is offered with a 120hp 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine and an 115hp 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel mill. Depending on the trim level, gearbox options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 5-speed AMT (automated manual transmission), or a 6-speed DCT (dual-clutch automatic transmission). No word if the brand is planning to launch the fully electric version of the Osprey.
On the features front, the Osprey could be available with dual 10.25-inch displays, automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, a JBL audio system and an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) suite. Considering the Nexon costs less than the Curvv in India, this is likely to be the case for the upcoming Osprey in the South African market as well. After re-entering the South African market in August 2025, Tata Motors has witnessed growth and customer demand in the country, the Indian automaker stated. “The introduction of the Tata Osprey marks another important milestone in our journey,” mentioned Allison.
The Tata Punch has crossed the 8 lakh domestic sales milestone, becoming the second SUV in Tata Motors’ current passenger vehicle line-up after the Nexon to do so. The figures include combined wholesales of the Punch petrol, CNG and Punch EV, as Tata Motors does not report separate dispatch numbers for its ICE and electric models. The milestone comes less than five months after the Punch crossed the 7 lakh sales mark in early February this year.
Record 21,006 units dispatched in June 2026
Available with petrol, CNG and electric powertrains
From its launch in October 2021 until the end of June 2026, Tata Motors dispatched 797,479 units of the Punch. The remaining 2,521 units needed to cross the 8 lakh mark were sold in the first few days of July.

Tata Punch sales momentum
The Punch recorded its highest-ever monthly wholesales of 21,006 units in June 2026 and was India’s best-selling SUV in the first quarter of FY2027, with 60,321 units dispatched. Monthly sales have exceeded the 20,000-unit mark three times since the model’s launch, with all three instances coming this year.
Between February and June 2026, the Punch added another 1 lakh sales, helped by monthly wholesales of 18,748 units in February, 20,977 in March, 19,107 in April, 20,208 in May and 21,006 in June.
Tata Punch facelift expands line-up
Tata Motors launched the updated Punch in January this year with exterior and interior changes, additional features and new powertrain options. The range now includes a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, a CNG-AMT option and an updated Punch EV with revised battery options and a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme.
The Punch is currently offered with petrol, CNG and electric powertrains across 32 variants. Prices for the petrol range start at Rs 5.70 lakh, while the CNG version starts at Rs 6.80 lakh. The updated Punch EV is priced from Rs 9.69 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
Tata Punch becomes fastest compact SUV to 8 lakh sales
The Punch crossed 1 lakh wholesales just 10 months after launch in October 2021, reached 4 lakh in June 2024, 5 lakh in January 2025, 6 lakh in July 2025 and 7 lakh in early February 2026. The latest run from 7 lakh to 8 lakh has taken less than five months, making it the quickest 1 lakh sales milestone for the model so far.
According to Tata Motors’ sales data, the Punch has become the fastest compact SUV to cross 8 lakh domestic wholesales. The Maruti Brezza took around 80 months to reach the milestone, followed by the Hyundai Venue at 85 months and the Tata Nexon at 89 months, while the Punch achieved it in a little over 57 months from launch.
If you are in the market for a compact Toyota SUV, then the Urban Cruiser Taisor is your only option. The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor shares a lot of components and feature set with its Maruti Suzuki brethren and is aimed at those who want the premiumness associated with the Toyota badge. Before signing on the dotted line, however, here are a few key facts of the Toyota Taisor you need to keep in mind. First up, the pros…
Capable powertrain
Peppy turbo engine pairs especially well with the automatic gearbox
One of the biggest pros of the Toyota Taisor lies under the bonnet. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with direct injection produces 100hp and 148Nm of torque. This engine makes up for its lack of outright cubic capacity by being eager to rev all the way up to a redline of 6,000rpm. Not only is it peppy and responsive, but this three-pot unit has a linear power delivery – all the while remaining smooth and refined.
Then there’s the 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which is offered with the G and V trims of the Taisor. Like the turbo-petrol engine, this transmission is smooth in its operation too. It also responds promptly to the steering-mounted paddle shifters, and in manual mode, this gearbox does not upshift automatically, increasing driver engagement even more. All of this pays dividends, as we clocked the Taisor Turbo achieving the sprint from 0-100kph in 11.86 seconds. For reference, that’s slightly quicker than the 120hp Kia Sonet with the DCT. The 5-speed manual gearbox of the Taisor is also a pleasure to use, thanks to its light and tactile operation.
Confident handler
Firm suspension and light steering come together well in the Taisor
While the stiffly sprung suspension of the Taisor feels a bit busy at low speeds, things change as the speed climbs. The inherent stiffness inspires confidence as the car feels stable even at triple-digit speeds. At low speeds, the light steering of the Taisor makes lane changes and parking manoeuvres easy to execute. The small turning radius aids manoeuvrability further.
Sorted ergonomics and comfort
Easily accessible controls and comfy rear seats make settling in fuss-free
Along with the adjustable seat, tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering makes getting into a comfortable driving position in the Taisor quite easy. All the controls fall to hand easily, and there’s also an adjustable centre armrest for the driver, that will come in handy over long drives, especially in the case of the automatic version.
The cabin feels spacious despite the relatively compact size of this car, while the rear seats are comfortable and offer good legroom as well. Adding to this comfort factor and overall safety at the back are features such as rear AC vents, USB Type-C ports, three headrests and three-pointed seatbelts. Also useful is the 360-degree camera system, which helps navigating tight parking spots less tense.
However, the Toyota Taisor is not without its cons. Here are the important ones.
Missing features
The Taisor isn’t as well-equipped as some rivals
While the 360-degree camera is good to have, its low resolution impacts usability to an extent, especially in poor weather or in the dark. The Taisor doesn’t get load sensors for the rear seats, which means the belt reminder chime will go on for 90 seconds unless they are properly buckled. Other missing features here include a powered sunroof, ventilated seats, LED ambient lighting, powered front seats, leatherette upholstery, a rear centre armrest, ADAS and a larger infotainment screen, to name a few.
Sub-optimal insulation and plastic quality
These issues are not as prevalent in newer compact SUVs
There’s no dearth of hard plastics in the Taisor’s cabin, with much of the surfaces being covered in sub-optimal plastic trim. Sound insulation also leaves a lot to be desired, as road and engine noises seep into the cabin easily.
