Toyota Urban Cruiser Design Preview

With the new Urban Cruiser, Toyota is driving forward the development of its battery-electric model range and consolidating its presence in the fast-growing compact B-SUV segment. In keeping with Toyota's customer-centric approach, the range includes two battery options with different capacities to meet diverse customer range and performance requirements. Three variants will be available at launch: a front-wheel drive version with a 49 kWh battery, and front- and all-wheel drive versions with a 61 kWh battery. In the most powerful version, the Urban Cruiser achieves a combined WLTP range of up to 426 kilometers. Both batteries use lithium iron phosphate technology, which is characterized by its durability and cost-effectiveness. A thermal management system ensures that the battery temperature always remains within the optimal range – even in extreme weather conditions. The Urban Cruiser is a true SUV – optionally available with electric all-wheel drive, which provides a safe, confident driving experience on slippery surfaces. Robust design, intelligent packaging, and compact drive components create a spacious interior with a sliding rear seat and high variability. The long wheelbase of 2,700 mm provides plenty of space and flexibility, reminiscent of much larger models. All multimedia functions are digitally integrated, including a central touchscreen and digital instrument display. Connectivity is provided via USB ports in the front and rear, as well as wireless smartphone integration. The MyToyota app also enables remote control of charging functions and status queries.
