The Toyota Urban Cruiser is the latest offspring from the global marriage of Toyota and Suzuki. The Toyota variant has arrived just a month after the Suzuki, but is it set to steal Suzuki's thunder, just like the Starlet did to Baleno?

Recently, we reviewed the newly launched Suzuki Vitara Brezza and for our video team, this was a serious case of deja vu. The reality is that the Toyota Urban Cruiser is identical, except for a revised grille and front bumper, and of course the badge on the nose.

In this detailed review, we take a thorough look at the new Urban Cruiser and try and answer the toughest question of all, should you buy this or the equivalent Suzuki Vitara Brezza?
