The Maruti-Toyota partnership will soon have another shared product in India till date (number six to be specific) in the form of the Fronx-based Taisor crossover. Toyota has now released the first teaser video of the Taisor ahead of its launch on April 3.
Details Noticed In The Teaser
In the short teaser shared by Toyota, we get a few glimpses of the Taisor’s updated exterior. The video shows Urban Cruiser Hyryder-like LED DRLs, a honeycomb pattern for the grille, and a connected LED taillight setup. Expect the Toyota crossover to feature tweaked bumpers as well to set it further apart from the Maruti Fronx. The teaser video shows the Taisor to be finished in a new orange exterior paint option.
Cabin And Expected Features
Based on the previously shared products between Maruti and Toyota, the Taisor could come with a different cabin theme from the donor vehicle. Apart from that, the Toyota crossover will have no differences over the Fronx, and will have the same equipment list as well.
It will come with the same 9-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, cruise control, wireless phone charging, a head-up display, and auto AC with rear vents. In terms of safety, the Taisor is likely to get up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, and electronic stability control (ESC).
