Toyota has given the Urban Cruiser Taisor an important update in 2025, making it safer and more stylish. The compact SUV will now have six airbags as standard in all variants, and a brand-new Bluish Black exterior colour option. Along with these changes, prices have been revised slightly.
Major Safety Boost for All Variants
Earlier, higher variants of the Taisor offered more safety features, but now Toyota has made six airbags standard across E, S, S+, G, and V trims. These include:
- Dual front airbags for the driver and co-driver
- Two side airbags for extra chest protection
- Two curtain airbags to safeguard heads of front and rear passengers
This change means even the base model will now have safety features that were earlier available only in costlier trims. In India, where road accident numbers are high, this move is a big step towards better passenger protection.
New Bluish Black Colour Option
Toyota has introduced a Bluish Black paint shade, giving customers a fresh and premium look option. Dark colours like this often appeal to buyers who want a more sporty and bold road presence.
Price Update – Small Increase
With these changes, prices have gone up slightly. Most variants are costlier by ₹12,000, while the S+ variant has seen a smaller increase of ₹8,000. Now, the starting price of the Urban Cruiser Taisor is ₹7.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
Despite the hike, the added value in safety makes the new pricing fair for many buyers.
Warranty and After-Sales Support
Toyota continues to offer the Taisor with a 3-year / 1,00,000 km warranty as standard. Customers can also choose to extend it up to 5 years / 2,20,000 km, which gives peace of mind for long-term ownership.
Engine and Performance Options
The Urban Cruiser Taisor is offered with two petrol engine choices:
- 1.2-litre K-Series petrol – Produces 89 bhp and 113 Nm. Best for city driving and fuel efficiency.
- 1.0-litre turbo-petrol – Produces 99 bhp and 147.6 Nm. Offers more punch for highway drives and spirited driving.
Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 5-speed AMT for convenience in traffic, and a 6-speed automatic for smoother performance.
Key Features That Make It Attractive
Some of the main features that make the Taisor a strong competitor in its segment are:
- LED headlamps with twin DRLs for better night visibility
- Dual-tone cabin for a premium feel
- 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Rear AC vents for passenger comfort

Why This Update is Important
In the Indian car market, safety is becoming a deciding factor for many buyers. With six airbags as standard, Toyota has sent a strong message that safety should not be limited to top variants. Also, the addition of a stylish colour option shows Toyota’s focus on design as well as protection.
Conclusion
The updated Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor now offers better safety, a stylish new colour, and still comes with reliable Toyota quality.
