Exterior Details
While the Taisor has the same body structure as the Fronx, Toyota has given it unique styling elements to differentiate it from the donor vehicle. These revisions comprise a fresh design for the grille, tweaked bumpers, and updated set of LED DRLs and taillights, and differently styled 16-inch alloy wheels.
A Fresh Cabin
The Taisor has the same cabin and dashboard layout as that of the Maruti Fronx except with the Toyota badging, most prominent on the steering wheel. It even has the identical black and maroon cabin theme as the model it’s based on.
Equipment On Offer
Toyota has equipped the Taisor with the same set of features as the Fronx including the 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, auto AC, wireless phone charging, cruise control, and heads-up display.
Its safety kit includes up to six airbags, hill-hold assist, rear parking sensors, electronic stability control (ESC), and a 360-degree camera.
