Just some days ago, the Toyota Urban Cruiser was launched in India at the price of around Rs 8.40 lakhs to Rs 11.30 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). Although the Toyota Urban Cruiser isn’t making as a big buzz as the Kia Sonet for quite some time now, it turns out to be a great car with all good traits from the Maruti Vitara Brezza alongside some additional Toyota value.
Available in three trim levels- Mid, High and Premium, the Toyota Urban Cruiser SUV comes across as a well-equipped subcompact SUV even from the entry-level variant. While Maruti Vitara Brezza is available in four variants – Lxi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+, three variants of the Toyota car is equivalent to the three higher-spec variants of the model that it’s based on. That means the entry-level Mid variant of the Urban Cruiser is as decently-equipped as the second-in-the-line variant of the Brezza. Here are the variant-wise features of the Toyota Urban Cruiser.
