The upcoming Urban Cruiser is precisely Toyota's spin-off of the Maruti Vitara Brezza. It gets a different face than the Vitara Brezza, as the company intends to give more aggressive appeal. The SUV will get dual slate grille, LED projector headlamps, dual-purpose LED DRL-cum-indicators, 16-inch alloy wheels, split-style LED tail lamps, LED fog lamps, LED stop lamp and more.

Under the bonnet, there will be a 1.5-litre K Series petrol engine that will be straightaway lifted from the Vitara Brezza. The engine will be mated with a 5-speed manual and an automatic gearbox. The automatic variant of the SUV will get a Lithium-ion battery offering features like torque assist, regenerative braking and idle start/stop.

The brochure listed on the official website confirms that it will be offered in six single tones and three dual-tone colour options. The SUV will be seen with two-tone dark brown interiors complemented by features such as start-stop button, smart play-cast infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, rain-sensing wipers, Electrochromic rearview mirror, and more.

We expect the SUV to be priced slightly premium over the Vitara Brezza. Once launched, the Urban Cruiser SUV will compete against the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Mahindra XUV300, Ford EcoSport, and others in the sub-compact SUV segment.
