The recently launched Urban Cruiser is the brainchild of the Maruti Suzuki and Toyota’s partnership which allows them to share vehicles and technology. Toyota first launched the Glanza which was a straight-up rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno. However, this is not the case with the Urban Cruiser. Toyota has made sure that Urban Cruiser can distinguish itself from the Vitara Brezza.
This was important because the Vitara Brezza is one of the best selling compact-SUVs in the Indian market. So, Toyota is offering a tan-brown interior with the Urban Cruiser and there are also some cosmetic changes to the exterior. Choosing a compact-SUV is a tedious task, the buyer also has to decide which variant is the right pick. So, today we help you with the variant that you should get if you are opting for an Urban Cruiser.
