This is the next Cruiser in the Toyota line – the name is given to a compact urban crossover, which is slightly larger than the Yaris Cross. It is fully electric, and will be offered on the European market in three modifications: two single-wheel drive and one all-wheel drive with imitation of inter-wheel locks. The Urban Cruiser’s closest relative is the Suzuki e-Vitara, from which the Toyota crossover differs only in some stylistic decisions in the exterior.
The urban SUV is based on a simplified version of the e-TNGA platform, which it shares with the already mentioned Suzuki e-Vitara from the Maruti Suzuki JV. Both crossovers have the same dimensions: length 4.28 meters, width 1.8 meters, height – 1.64 meters, and the distance between the axles – 2.7 meters. The interior is identical: a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel and a 10.1-inch multimedia system screen, atmospheric suspension, all-round cameras and a JBL audio system. In addition, a panoramic roof and a set of electronic assistants are announced for the European Urban Cruiser.
