The new Toyota Urban Cruiser subcompact crossover is essentially a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza facelift that debuted at Auto Expo 2020, held in early February.

Being a rebadge, there are no mechanical changes from its Maruti Suzuki counterpart. Powering the new Toyota Urban Cruiser is a 1.5-litre K15B NA petrol four-cylinder engine good for 103bhp @ 6,000rpm and 138Nm @ 4,400rpm. This is coupled to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed TC automatic transmission.
