Toyota Taisor: Design

As mentioned above, the upcoming Taisor will be introduced as the rebadged avatar of Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The upcoming Mid-size SUV will largely carry a similar silhouette. But the automaker will make some major tweaks in the design to give it an original Toyota touch.

The mid-size SUV will get a highly tweaked grille with Toyota badging, a new set of headlights, DRLs and a redesigned bumper. These design changes will contribute to making Taisor an all-new product instead of just being a new Maruti Fronx with a Toyota logo.

Interior

Being a rebadged version of the Fronx crossover, the Taisor’s interior is expected to have a similar design to the Fronx. But there is a huge probability of alteration in the interiors as well. In terms of alterations, the Toyota Taisor will come with a new interior colour scheme to be easily differentiated from the Fronx.
