Toyota has launched the Urban Cruiser in South Africa at a starting price of R247,900, which converts to about Rs 12.13 lakh in Indian currency. The car will be offered in three variants, namely Xi, Xs and Xr.
Last year, Toyota Kirloskar Motor decided to make use of the brand’s global product-sharing agreement with Suzuki to introduce the Urban Cruiser in India, which is basically a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza – one of the best-selling sub-4m SUVs in the country.
Now, Toyota has launched the Urban Cruiser in South Africa at a starting price of R247,900, which converts to about Rs 12.13 lakh in Indian currency. The car will be offered in three variants, namely Xi, Xs and Xr. The entry-level Xi trim comes equipped with features like keyless-entry with push-button start/stop, electric windows, air-conditioning, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, electrically-adjustable mirrors, LED headlamps and LED DRLs.
The mid-level Xs variant additionally gets alloy wheels, roof rails, body-coloured door handles, power-retractable mirrors and a rear window wiper with demister function. Inside the cabin, this variant gets an automatic climate control, a reverse camera, and a secondary glove compartment.
The range-topping Xr variant comes with LED fog lamps, automatic headlights, cruise control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, rain-sensing wipers, dual 12-volt power outlets, a front armrest, a leather steering wheel as well as two tweeter speakers. The range-topping Xr trim with the AT gearbox will set you back by R 315,700 (INR 15.45 lakh).
On the safety front, the car is equipped with ABS and EBD, side protection beams, driver and passenger airbags, ISOFIX child-seat anchorages, an alarm and immobiliser system and reverse parking sensors as standard across the range.
Powering the Urban Cruiser in South Africa is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that puts out 105 PS of maximum power, along with 138 Nm of peak torque. The engine can be had with either a 5-speed manual transmission, or an optional 4-speed torque converter automatic.
