Toyota’s new compact SUV in India

• The car’s name is “Urban Cruiser Tiser” and is an OEM model of Suzuki’s new “Fronx”.
• Features distinctive LED daylights and horizontal LED taillights
• Will it be the successor to the Rise?

The car in the video also features a new grille with distinctive LED daytime running lights and the Toyota emblem, as well as horizontal LED taillights. Toyota may add new 17-inch wheels in addition to redesigned front and rear bumpers, but Autocar India reports that the image was shared with Suzuki and is an OEM version of Suzuki’s new “Fronx.” Pricing is expected to be announced on April 3rd.

It has been said for some time that the new “Fronx” will be an OEM product for Toyota, and furthermore, due to the Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. fraud scandal, it has also been rumored that the “Urban Cruiser Tiser” will be the successor to the “Raize.”

About the new Suzuki “FRONX”

The Suzuki FRONX is built on Suzuki’s latest Heartect platform, with a length of 3,995mm, width of 1,765mm, height of 1,550mm, and wheelbase of 2,520mm. It is 5mm longer, 20mm wider, and 50mm higher than the Suzuki Baleno, which has the same wheelbase. The FRONX’s footprint is roughly the same as that of the Suzuki Brezza.

About the exterior of the new Suzuki “FRONX”

The car is targeted at “young pioneers who want to stand out,” according to Frontus. The front end resembles the Grand Vitara with split headlights, a chrome insert in the grille, and an aluminum-style skid plate. With 17-inch aluminum wheels, pronounced fenders and rear shoulders, the profile is sportier. At the rear, the sloping rear glass, covered by a roof spoiler, is Suzuki’s first attempt at the coupe-SUV trend. The model also features full-width LED taillights and a sizeable aluminum-style skid plate that doubles as a diffuser.

The overall length of the Escudo is longer, but the wheelbase is 20mm longer than the Frontiers, so the interior space may not change.
