Toyota has dispatched the Urban Cruiser at a beginning cost of Rs 8.40 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is essentially a rebadged variant of the Maruti Vitara Brezza which got its midlife update in mid-2020. However, how do the two SUVs contrast from one another and which one would it be a good idea for you to go for? We'll see right away.
| Toyota Urban Cruiser | Maruti Vitara Brezza | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 3995mm | 3995mm |
| Width | 1790mm | 1790mm |
| Height | 1640mm | 1640mm |
| Wheelbase | 2500mm | 2500mm |
| Boot Space | 328 litres | 328 litres |
Firstly we compare the motors. Both the two SUVs are petroleum contributions. They are controlled by a similar 1.5-litre normally aspirated petroleum motor mated to either a 5-speed MT or a 4-speed force converter programmed gearbox.
| Toyota Urban Cruiser | Maruti Vitara Brezza | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5-litre petrol | 1.5-litre petrol |
| Power | 105PS | 105PS |
| Torque | 138Nm | 138Nm |
| Transmission | 5-speed MT/4-speed AT | 5-speed MT/4-speed AT |
| Fuel Economy | 17.03kmpl/18.76kmpl | 17.03kmpl/18.76kmpl |
The most distinct feature is the warranty, as the Toyota Urban Cruiser is offered with a standard guarantee of 3 years/1 lakh km, the Vitara Brezza is offered with a standard guarantee of 2 years/40,000km. All things considered, the two SUVs are accessible with a service agreement of as long as 5 years yet where the Toyota has a mileage top of 2,20,000km, the Maruti has a top of only 1 lakh km.
Comparing the prices, we see some figures like below:
| Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Urban Cruiser | Rs 8.40 lakh | Rs 9.80 lakh |
| Maruti Vitara Brezza | Rs 8.35 lakh | Rs 9.75 lakh |
The set of Common Features include Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat grapples, high-speed alert framework, rear defogger, manual day/night IRVM, auto AC with back AC vents, LED headlamps, LED DRLs, rooftop rails, steel wheels with wheel covers, LED tail lights, turn markers on ORVMs (outside rearview mirrors), electrically flexible and foldable ORVMs, steering mounted controls, audio framework, push-button start, customizable front and back headrest, tilt-adjustable steering, keyless entry, front and back power windows, foldable back seat, hill hold assist (AT), gear position pointer (AT), mild-hybrid technology (AT).
Decision: Although both the SUVs are indistinguishable taking everything into account, we propose you go for the Toyota Urban Cruiser essentially because it offers a superior standard guarantee bundle than the Vitara Brezza. Where the Urban Cruiser accompanies a standard guarantee of 3 years/1,00,000km, the Brezza gets a standard guarantee of 2 years/40,000km.
