The Urban Cruiser Taisor offers genuine variety with three powertrain options and a rare 6-speed torque-converter automatic on the turbo variant, backed by solid safety fundamentals. However, underwhelming fuel efficiency, rear drum brakes across the range, and aggressive feature stratification between trims make it a compromise play in a fiercely competitive segment.

Stands out

  • Three powertrain choices including CNG for cost-conscious buyers
  • Genuine 6-speed torque-converter automatic on turbo—not a CVT compromise
  • Six airbags and electronic stability control standard on higher trims
  • Connected car tech with remote climate, OTA updates, and find-my-car
  • V trim delivers HUD, 360-degree camera, wireless charging, and machined alloys
  • Claimed 22.79 km/l on petrol AMT is genuinely competitive

!Gives us pause

  • Rear drum brakes across entire range limit stopping power
  • Real-world efficiency falls short of segment expectations despite ARAI claims
  • Critical features like touchscreen, cruise control and HUD locked to top trim only
  • Base variant lacks alloy wheels, touchscreen, and side/curtain airbags
  • Torsion beam rear suspension offers less composure than independent setups
