Toyota's Urban Cruiser available at up to ₹70,000 off. Here's why
According to a report, this is because the company will replace the Cruiser with a newer, updated version, called the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and has, therefore, closed further production of the original model.
Toyota is offering a discount of up to ₹70,000 on its compact SUV Urban Cruiser, according to a report in Hindustan Times' sister publication Live Hindustan. The report, however, further said that the discount is not due to some offer in view of the upcoming festive season; this is, in fact, because the company has discontinued further production of the original Urban Cruiser.
Why did Toyota close production of Urban Cruiser?
According to the report, the SUV will be replaced in the market by a newer, updated version, called the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, which is expected to arrive soon. This model has a hybrid engine and features better than those in the original car, making the company take this decision, the report said.

In the wake of Toyota's move, dealers are offering a minimum and maximum discount of ₹50,000 and ₹70,000 respectively to clear their existing stock of the original Cruiser. This offer is made up of a cash discount of minimum ₹12,000, exchange bonus of ₹24,000, free accessories worth ₹5,000, and ₹3,000 in corporate discount etc.
