Toyota has announced plans to launch a new crossover vehicle based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The Fronx based crossover will be called the Toyota Taisor.

The Toyota-Suzuki venture has already spawned various products such as the HyCross-Invicto, HyRyder-Grand Vitara, Glanza-Baleno, and Rumion-Ertiga. The Taisor-Fronx will be the fifth shared platform as a result of this venture.

The new Toyota crossover will incorporate these features while adding its unique design elements and advanced technologies.

The vehicle is also expected to offer a range of Powertrain options to cater to diverse customer preferences.
The Taisor will make its debut on April 3. It will be priced at a slight premium than its Maruti-Suzuki counterpart thanks to its features and Toyota’s branding.
