Toyota has unveiled the production version of its Urban Cruiser EV, a compact electric SUV that shares design cues with the Suzuki e-Vitara. While the production model maintains the overall sleek and modern look of the concept, it incorporates practical adjustments for mass production.
The Urban Cruiser EV boasts a slightly larger grille and headlights compared to the concept, along with black cladding on the sides to emphasize its SUV stance. It offers a choice of 18-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels and various color options, including dual-tone combinations. With dimensions larger than the e-Vitara, the Urban Cruiser EV offers a spacious interior.
Powering the Urban Cruiser EV are two battery options: a 49 kWh and a 61 kWh. The 49 kWh version delivers 144 hp and 189 Nm of torque, while the 61 kWh variant offers 174 hp and the same torque output. An all-wheel-drive version, powered by the 61 kWh battery, adds a rear motor for a total output of 184 hp and 300 Nm of torque.
Inside, the cabin shares similarities with the Suzuki e-Vitara, featuring a digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a range of modern conveniences like wireless charging and a panoramic sunroof. Safety is a priority, with the Urban Cruiser EV equipped with advanced features such as a 360-degree camera and a suite of ADAS functions.
Toyota plans to unveil the Urban Cruiser EV at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show in January, with pricing details for the UK market to be announced later in the year. The EV is expected to launch in India in late 2025, produced alongside the e-Vitara at Suzuki’s Gujarat facility.
