Back in July, Maruti Suzuki updated the Fronx with six airbags as a standard fitment. Now, its rebadged counterpart, the Toyota Taisor, has received a similar safety upgrade. In addition, Toyota has also introduced a new Bluish Black monotone paint option for this sub-4m crossover, which is actually a darker iteration of the Fronx’s Nexa Blue exterior colour.
This update has also attracted a price hike of up to Rs 28,000, depending on the variant. With this, the Toyota Taisor is now priced between Rs 7.89 lakh and Rs 13.19 lakh (ex-showroom).
Toyota Taisor: Other Features
Aside from the six airbags, the Taisor also gets safety aids like ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), hill hold assist, traction control, rear parking sensors, 3-point seat belts for all, along with a seat belt reminder system, ISOFIX child seat anchors, rear defogger, and a high-speed alert system, as part of the standard kit.
