And if that is not enough, the automatic variants are fitted with a Battery and an Integrated Starter Generator to increase fuel efficiency.
Other outstanding features in the Toyota Urban Cruiser are smart playcast touchscreen, push-button entry, door speakers, Android Auto, cruise control, Auto AC, and many more.
