New Toyota Urban Cruiser Review - Should you buy this or the identical Suzuki Vitara Brezza?

[@momaine4604]

"Shows you how much confidence Toyota has in Suzuki's products" 🤣🤣

[@kovilanmoodley7464]

Most of their drivetrains have Toyota technology ala VVTi engines, some of their vehicles use complete Toyota drivetrains so from Toyota's perspective guaranteed bullet proof reliability which is what the brand was built on and no risk.Japanese quality is on another level...

[@LukeIyer98]

Well interestingly Suzuki has gained the popular Rav 4 among other models from Toyota so its a good partnership and Toyota did not have similar vehicles, the Etios could never compete with the polo the same way the Toyota Starlet can, or the Ford Ecosport the way this Urban Cruiser can and with suzuki they don't have anything the size of the Rav 4 so it helps to gain that

[@LukeIyer98]

@@BubblesTheCat1 it looks like buyers are buying more Toyota Starlets than Suzuki Balenos, the same might happen here because of dealer network, Suzuki is a very reliable brand, yes parts might be a bit pricey sometimes, but so are Toyota parts sometimes, that's the problems we face with new cars

[@jolene9952]

I also prefer the look of the Urban Cruiser... the less chrome the better.

[@sambhavrajhindaul6006]

I just purchased Urban Cruiser. Its very good car

[@gaylemoret5493]

How is it now 😇

[@oarabilemolobi1944]

It was a good move for Suzuki to form a partnership with Toyota, Suzuki is reliable as a brand as well, The Urban Cruiser is great value for money in my opinion. It is a solid product and great fuel consumption, I wouldn't mind owning one as well .

[@Braselton21]

"Isn't an Urban Cruiser a man who wears a coat & isn't allowed within 100yards of a primary school?" - Jeremy Clarkson 😂 "...what a stupid car because you'll just end up getting arrested doing the school run" 🤣 He said something like that. I literally just watched an old 2009ish Top Gear episode today where they talked about releasing this car WAY back then😅 over a decade from that episode & now that car is here 😄

[@davidlutge9102]

I bought a Toyota Starlet rather than this vehicle. I very happy with the Starlet choice . Especially Features, economy and comfort for the price. I get 18.5km per liter... 😁

[@pdspies]

The challenge is half of those 60 Suzuki dealers don't provide servicing. I live within a 5 km radius of two Suzuki dealers, yet I have to take my (new) car to Honda for a service. For this reason alone I would chose a Toyota option vs the Suzuki.

[@Jaguartmb]

Thats a very interesting and noteworthy point if one is looking to buy. Thank you

[@catchawakeup6411]

Just bought an Urban Cruiser today. The Extended warranty - 8 years, unlimited km = R5 850-00 including VAT. Suzuki Brezza Vitara is much better value for money, but were I live there is nou Suzuki dealers within 250km radius witch can make life complicated.

Thanks for the very informative review Ciro. Was heartwarming to see you in a "normal" budgetry car, like most of us mortals. 😊👋👍

[@franengelbrecht4884]

You sir do vehicle reviews justice 👌

[@jamesdunn7114]

"Im on a good road here, because you know im in Cape Town"😂

[@declansgamereview6523]

The Toyota will have a better resale value for sure ( ya ya I know it's the same thing ). The Starlet outsells the Baleno by almost 20 to one in SA so expect a similar story with this battle. Suzuki is such an underrated brand in SA which is a pity as they make great cars in the small/budget segment but people overlook them as they think it's some funny asian brand etc.

[@BubblesTheCat1]

Suzuki will have to work hard. Their vehicles are improving all the time. Way better than any Korean or Chinese car.

[@sirbastiangezwind3599]

Love your reviews always! You changed my perception on this vehicle.

[@BubblesTheCat1]

When are we seeing a little Toyota Jimny? That'll be cute😊

[@vert3cx373]

That one guy who disliked the video is clearly not impressed with the Suzuki-Toyota alliance

[@pdspies]

I added the second dislike, mainly because I felt the video focused too much on the Toyota / Suzuki relationship and provided very little real information about the car that would help aid a purchase decision. For example, how does the 1.5 engine and 4 speed gearbox cope when there is more than one (small😜) adult in the car and some luggage thrown in the boot. How does this affect fuel consumption and drive quality, handling. Besides the time and km, how do the service plan and warranty actually compare ? Do they both cover the same things ? Does insurance vary between the Toyota and Suzuki branded models.

[@LaysAvo16]

My mom said she likes it and I'm considering getting one for her but my biggest concerns are that it only has 2 airbags (from both manufacturers even though if I remember correctly Toyota initially offered the Starlet with more airbags than the Baleno) and that wind noise comment has me thinking I should drive it myself first before seeing if its a big issue.

I also prefer the Urban Cruiser.. front looks better than the Vitara Brezza ( still love Suzuki though).. your comment about Joburg roads are so funny! Great job on the car review, thanks

[@AyrenJagar]

LED headlights should be placed under the "Safety Features" category because it makes a massive difference to night driving vs halogen and hence your safety. With that in mind, I believe the base Suzuki does not come with LED headlights. So if you are looking for the base spec, Toyota is better in my opinion. Doesn't matter in higher specs but I have found Toyota aftersales to be the best. And speaking about Safety, it only has two airbags. That is kind of ridiculous when you think the price is over R300k on the higher spec models.

[@BubblesTheCat1]

Led headlights is a huge danger to oncoming traffic. That blue hue blinds you. Very dangerous

[@LukeIyer98]

@@BubblesTheCat1 as mentioned before, if your car does not come standard with LED headlights then it will not be balanced properly and it will dazzle oncoming drivers, my Mom's Suzuki Vitara Turbo has standard LED headlights and its auto levelling so it does not dazzle oncoming drivers at all yet provides amazing range at night

The suzuki looked better for me as well. But the little Hilux (oops urban thingie) was in a drab colour. Maybe in a bright red or something. The suzuki looked better in the side by side comparison.

Comparing the two on paper the Starlet looks to be a better package; with more airbags, better performance (being 200kg lighter and lower), space for taller people in the back, VSC and Brake Assist. Not to mention it is cheaper. As for looks the Urban Cruiser looks like a fatter brother of the S-Presso whereas the Starlet looks more like a proper sedan, so that's where I'd put my money. Would like to hear the opinion of @cars.co.za though
