Toyota Urban Cruiser to start deliveries by October-end
The deliveries of the recently-launched Toyota Urban Cruiser are expected to start later this month, around the Dussehra festival. The crossover was announced last month and it comes as a tweaked version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Urban Cruiser is offered in three trims, nine color options, and has a feature-rich cabin as well as a BS6-compliant 1.5-liter petrol engine.
