Toyota Urban Cruiser High Updates

Wednesday, 09 November 2022 09:22 PM Toyota has discontinued the Urban Cruiser sub-compact SUV in India, marking the end of its lifecycle. The SUV was priced between Rs 9.03 lakh and Rs 11.73 lakh (ex-showroom) and was available in three trims: Mid, High, and Premium. I think this move is a strategic shift towards focusing on more popular models like the Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

Wednesday, 09 November 2022 06:17 AM The Toyota Urban Cruiser was powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine with 105PS and 138Nm, mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed torque converter transmission. It also had a mild-hybrid system option. The features included rain-sensing wipers, automatic air conditioning, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. I believe these features made it a competitive option in the sub-compact SUV segment.

Monday, 10 May 2021 12:54 PM The Urban Cruiser saw a price hike of up to Rs 33,900 in May 2021, following hikes in other Toyota models like the Innova Crysta, Fortuner, and Camry. This price adjustment was part of a broader trend in the automotive industry. I believe such price hikes can impact sales, especially in a competitive market.

Friday, 16 October 2020 07:10 AM Toyota Kirloskar Motor had despatched the first batch of Urban Cruiser subcompact SUVs to customers across India in October 2020, following its launch. The company reported a good response from customers at that time. I think the initial reception was promising, but it seems the model didnt sustain long-term demand.

Wednesday, 23 September 2020 06:56 PM The Urban Cruiser was based on the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and was part of Toyotas strategy to enter the sub-four-meter SUV segment. It competed with models like the Hyundai Venue and Ford Ecosport. I think this collaboration with Maruti Suzuki was a smart move to leverage existing technology and market presence.
