On a broader scale, the Toyota Taisor shares its dimensions and sheet metal with the Maruti Fronx, yet it incorporates specific Toyota modifications for a clear differentiation. Notable changes include the Toyota logo featured on the redesigned honeycomb grill, refreshed LED DRLs, a tweaked bumper, and newly designed 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. These alterations impart a distinctiveness to the Taisor, giving it a fresh appeal while setting it apart from its Maruti counterpart.
The side view showcases 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels sporting a fresh design, adding a sporty touch and enhancing the overall appearance. Moving to the rear, there's a connected LED tail lamp. Although, the dimensions and profile remain akin to the Fronx.
Obviously, aside from the Toyota badging, the interior closely resembles that of the Fronx and you will find very little differences. Feature-wise, it offers a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with automatic climate control, a wireless phone charger, heads-up display, and cruise control. Safety is taken care of with the same feature list comprising 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, ESC, and more.
Powertrain
Beneath the hood, there are three engine choices available: a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol that churns out 90PS, a 1.2-liter CNG with 77PS, and a 100PS 1-liter turbo-petrol. The standard transmission is a 5-speed manual, with automatic options including a 5-speed AMT for the naturally aspirated petrol and a 6-speed torque converter for the turbo-petrol.
Toyota Taisor: Price And Rivals
The price for the Toyota Taisor dwindles between Rs, 7.73 lakhs to Rs. 13.03 lakhs ex-showroom. It rivals the obvious Maruti Fronx, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and others.
Verdict
It's a common pattern in the Maruti Toyota collaboration. Though there are distinct visual alterations specific to each brand, the tech roster and engine lineup tend to remain identical. However, there's been a notable exception with the Invicto/Hycross duo, representing the sole instance of deviation from this trend.
