Check out the details of Toyota's new mini SUV
The Toyota Taisor shares a platform with the Suzuki Fronx and it is an interesting model with a well-regarded footprint in the automotive market today.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser looks a lot like the Kardian and Pulse and in terms of dimensions it is also very similar to the models. It is 4 m long, has a 2,52 m wheelbase, is 1,76 m wide and 1,55 m high, has a trunk capacity of up to 300 L and the Toyota mini SUV weighs a light 1660 kg.
In terms of looks, the Toyota Taisor promises to please the automotive market, being very attractive. At the front, we have a honeycomb grille in Black Piano, a gray application at the base of the bumper and full LED headlights, divided with daytime running lights above and main lights below. On the sides, the Toyota Urban Cruiser features two-tone paint, chrome frames on the windows, a satin silver roof rack, and 16-inch wheels.
Moving on to the rear, we have a coupe feel and it has a spoiler, a gray bumper applique and beautiful full LED lights interconnected with a large, very pretty LED strip.
Toyota Urban Cruiser delivers up to 100 horsepower
In terms of engine, both options offered by the Toyota Taiser are interesting for the automotive market. input settings It does not come with a 1.0 naturally aspirated engine, but rather the 1.2 three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that is only gasoline and delivers up to 90 horsepower and 13,5 kg/m of torque. In this case, the transmission can be a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic with up to seven simulated gears.
Another option, and the most interesting, is the 1.0 three-cylinder Turbo, which features direct fuel injection and always runs on gasoline. It has up to 100 horsepower and 177,2 kgfm of torque associated with a transmission that can be either a six-speed automatic with torque converter, or a six-speed manual. In this case, the Toyota Urban Cruiser's performance is much more robust and the average consumption is good.
The interior of Toyota's mini SUV is packed with technology state-of-the-art
Moving on to the interior, Toyota's Mini SUV follows what is already seen in the automotive market and does not surprise in absolutely anything. The finish brings only hard plastic on all sides and deserved better detailing and the interior space is cramped and only four adults will fit well here.
The list of equipment for an entry-level segment brings interesting items for the automotive market such as proximity key, head-up display, remote start, digital air conditioning, dashboard with 4-inch LCD screen, instead of digital like most of its competitors, among others.
The Toyota Taisor's multimedia center comes with a beautiful 8-inch screen and features a 360° camera system, integrated GPS, as well as connectivity for wireless Carplay and Android Auto.
177,2 Kgfm of torque?
The torque of 177,2 kgfm is a measure of rotational force, representing the engine's ability to do work. In practical terms, this means that the engine has more power to make the vehicle accelerate or climb hills.
It's not 177,2, it's 17 kgfm!
