The Toyota Taisor, essentially the Maruti Suzuki Fronx-based compact cross SUV, now finally has a launch date. Toyota has confirmed that it will be launched on April 4, 2024.
Toyota Taisor – What To Expect
- Similar to other Toyota-Maruti shared models, the Taisor will also come with the same powertrain options and features as the Fronx but with a few styling tweaks to differentiate it from its Suzuki counterpart.
- The Taisor is anticipated to boast a grille reminiscent of the Toyota Hyryder, comprising split LED DRLs with chrome elements and a faux carbon fibre finish. Furthermore, the front bumper is expected to have an angular profile with a sportier air dam and faux skid plate. The main headlamp unit will be positioned on the bumper. It could also feature a unique alloy design and new pain options from its Maruti counterpart.

- Except for a different colour scheme, we do not expect any other changes inside the cabin.
- Underneath the hood, the Toyota Taisor will get the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (90PS/113Nm), paired with manual and AMT, and a 1-litre turbocharged petrol (100PS/148NM) with manual and torque converter automatic transmission options. It is also likely to receive a factory-fitted CNG option with the 1.2-litre unit.
- In terms of features, the Taisor will pack everything that you available on the Fronx. The highlights include: –
- LED lighting system
- 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment
- Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto
- Connected car tech
- Heads-up display
- Cruise control
- Auto AC
- Rear AC vents
- Height-adjustable driver’s seat
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- Six airbags
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill hold assist
- 360-degree camera
- ISOFIX child seat anchors
- Expect Taisor to command a slight premium over the Maruti Fronx. For reference, the Fronx is currently priced between Rs 7.51 – 13.04 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Toyota may also offer the Taisor a standard warranty of 3 years or 1 lakh kilometres (whichever comes earlier). In contrast, the Fronx only gets a 2-year/40,000 km warranty.
