Since its launch, the base price of the car has increased by around INR 10,000 which is due to the increase in input costs.

Powering the Urban Cruiser is the same BS6 compliant K-Series 1.5 litre four-cylinder petrol motor with an ISG – Integrated Starter Generator motor that draws power from a separate Lithium-Ion battery and provides torque assist to the IC (internal combustion) engine, improving power as well as saving fuel by improving efficiency and saving carbon emissions by saving fuel.
