Toyota Urban Cruiser SUV to be launched on September 23
Toyota Motor has confirmed the launch date of its upcoming 'youngest urban SUV' - the Urban Cruiser. Toyota's spin off on Maruti Vitara Brezza will be officially launched next week, on September 23.
Toyota has already initiated bookings for the Urban Cruiser sub-compact SUV in India. As per dealer sources, prices of the new SUV will be in similar range as the Brezza, but will be slightly expensive in comparison.
The Urban Cruiser sub-compact SUV will be Toyota's second spin-off of a Maruti car, the first one being the Baleno hatchback which is sold as the Glanza in the Indian market. And as expected, Toyota manages to sell a significant number of Glanza premium hatchbacks that has led the Japanese automaker to establish a stronger presence in the more affordable car segment, unlike before.
