Toyota Urban Cruiser (Vitara Brezza Rival)- Everything you need to know

Well, it was pretty much evident that Toyota is planning to launch the rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza under the new Toyota-Suzuki partnership in India this year. This will be the second product to come out of the JV which will initially be based on the Vitara Brezza. According to recent media reports, Toyota’s new sub-4 meter SUV could be called ‘Urban Cruiser’ as the Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer has recently applied to get the Urban Cruiser name patent.

Certain reports also suggest that the name has been derived from the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser which was recently discontinued. Not only that the Japanese carmaker will also be launching the rebadged version of the Ertiga and Ciaz for the domestic market.
