A Look Ahead: 2024 Toyota Taisor Engine, Competitors, And Expected Price
Underneath the hood, the Toyota Taisor is anticipated to mirror the mechanical options of the Maruti Fronx. Currently, the Fronx offers a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology, along with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, there's a 1.2-liter Dualjet petrol engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. The CNG variants utilize the 1.2-litre engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
There's speculation that the Taisor might stick to only the 1.2-litre engine options. Expected to compete against models like the Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, and Hyundai Venue. It will likely carry a slightly higher price tag compared to the Maruti Fronx, which begins at Rs. 7.51 lakhs ex-showroom.
