2026 Toyota Urban Cruiser premiere

By the end of 2025, Toyota will launch six new electric models in the European market, one of which is the Urban Cruiser. This electric crossover was revealed on March 11 in Brussels.

The Urban Cruiser is larger than the Yaris Cross Hybrid and offers a more spacious interior thanks to its 2,700 mm wheelbase. Based on a new electric platform, Toyota has opted for LFP batteries for this model, which are longer-lasting and cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries. It comes with a Battery Care program, which includes a warranty of up to 10 years / 1 million kilometers.

The interior of the car is equipped with sliding rear seats that allow more space for passengers or luggage, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 10.1-inch multimedia screen, 12-color interior lighting, adaptive cruise control, a collision avoidance system and a lane-keeping system, and buyers can optionally get a 360-degree camera, JBL sound system and a panoramic roof.

When it comes to the powertrain, buyers can choose between three versions. The first version is equipped with a single electric motor with 144 hp, a 49 kWh battery that allows a range of 300 kilometers, and has front-wheel drive. The second version offers front-wheel drive, 174 hp, front-wheel drive, and a 61 kWh battery that allows 400 kilometers on a single charge. The third version comes with all-wheel drive, 184 hp, and a 61 kWh battery and a range of 350 kilometers. This version has an additional 48 kW electric motor mounted on the rear axle, and is equipped with Downhill Assist Control and Trail Mode systems to help the driver on difficult terrain.

2026 Toyota Urban Cruiser

The Toyota Urban Cruiser is a new crossover from the Japanese manufacturer that will be produced at Suzuki’s facility in India. It is the production version of the Urban SUV Concept unveiled last year.

The car is 4,285 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, 1,640 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, which means it is slightly larger than the Yaris Cross. It is based on a new platform designed for electric vehicles and will be offered with two battery options, as well as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

It is equipped with a lithium-iron-phosphate battery and a heat pump (which saves energy) for the air conditioning system and battery heating to optimize performance in cold conditions. All European versions will have a package of active safety systems, driver assistance systems including a collision warning system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist, and a 360-degree camera.

The cabin is equipped with a 10.1-inch multimedia system screen, as well as a 10.25-inch instrument cluster. The seats fold in a 40:20:40 ratio, and it should be noted that thanks to the sliding rear seats, the space between the front and rear passengers can be adjusted, creating more space for passengers.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard equipment, and depending on the equipment, the interior has an electronically adjustable driver’s seat, JBL sound system and a fixed panorama.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser comes with two types of batteries, 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The smaller battery comes with a version powered by a single electric motor with 144 hp (106 kW) and 139 lb-ft (189 Nm) of torque, and FWD. The larger battery is offered in the FWD and AWD versions. The more powerful version is powered by a single electric motor with 184 hp (135 kW) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque.
