Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) rolled out a test drive event for its newly launched Urban Cruiser Taisor in Itanagar, sparking excitement among SUV enthusiasts and potential buyers. The much-anticipated compact SUV is Toyota’s latest entry in India’s fiercely competitive SUV market, offering a blend of style, power, and cutting-edge features at an attractive starting price of Rs 7.74 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Urban Cruiser Taisor comes in multiple powertrain options—including a 1.0L turbocharged engine, a 1.2L petrol engine, and an efficient E-CNG variant. With both manual and automatic transmissions available, it delivers up to 28.5 km/kg fuel efficiency in its CNG model—making it a compelling choice for drivers looking to balance performance and economy.

At the Itanagar test drive event, participants got a firsthand look at the Taisor’s bold aerodynamic design, premium chrome-accented front grille, sporty 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, and rear skid plate. Inside, the SUV features a dual-tone dashboard, plush fabric seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 9-inch HD infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility—designed to appeal to tech-savvy urban drivers.

Local dealers reported strong interest during the test drive sessions, with many attendees impressed by the Taisor’s smooth handling and premium interiors.

“We’re expecting a surge in bookings. Customers in Itanagar are looking for compact SUVs that blend affordability, looks, and performance—and the Taisor checks all those boxes,” said a Toyota dealer at the event.

Toyota is backing the launch with customer-friendly offerings including financing options, extended warranties, and roadside assistance, aiming to enhance the ownership experience.

With demand for SUVs continuing to surge in smaller cities and state capitals like Itanagar, the Urban Cruiser Taisor is positioned to make a strong mark—especially among first-time buyers and families seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient upgrade.
