The all-new Toyota Urban Cruiser compact SUV unveiled. European market launch of the Toyota Urban Cruiser scheduled for autumn 2025.

The all-new Urban Cruiser is the compact model in Toyota’s comprehensive coverage of the European electric SUV market, presented alongside the all-new Toyota C-HR+ and the new bZ4X. Together they give the brand strong representation across the core B, C and D-SUV segments respectively, sharing authentic SUV design and performance and signature Toyota Quality, Durability and Reliability.

Scheduled for European launch in late 2025, the Urban Cruiser adopts Toyota’s dual battery offer for its fully electric models, helping customers find the right vehicle for their mobility needs and their budget.

It presents a contemporary “Urban Tech” look that expresses genuine SUV quality. The “hammerhead” frontal design and slim headlight units are features shared by the new generation of Toyota models. At the rear, the muscular wings and wrap-around rear light bar emphasise strength and stability.

Exterior dimensions – slightly larger than the Toyota Yaris Cross hybrid – ensure this is a car well-suited to negotiating urban spaces. Inside, the space rivals that of models from a class above, thanks to a 2,700 mm wheelbase and clever design features. More room for rear seat passengers – or load space – can be obtained with an ingenious sliding rear seat system.

The SUV-inspired layout includes a low-set, horizontal instrument panel and an elevated seating position at the wheel. Ambient lighting with 12 colour settings helps set the mood for the journey.

Platform and powertrains

The Urban Cruiser is built on a strong yet lightweight new platform, dedicated to battery electric vehicles. Its design avoids the need for crossmembers in the floor, so there is more space for the battery without compromising cabin space.

The battery options will provide driving range capability that will easily meet typical day-to-day journey requirements. The target distance for the FWD model with the 49 kWh battery is around 300 km; with the larger, 61 kWh battery the figure is 400 km. Those choosing the 61 kWh version with all-wheel drive can expect in the region of 350 km on a full charge. Both batteries use durable but cost-efficient lithium-iron phosphate technology. Toyota offers a Battery Care Program covering the battery each year for up to 10 years of vehicle age or up to one million kilometres driven, subject to an annual battery health check.

The AWD model uses an additional 48 kW motor on the rear axle and is equipped with Downhill Assist Control and a Trail Mode for extra assistance in slippery conditions.

Safety and equipment

The Urban Cruiser will be equipped as standard with a complement of advanced active safety and driver assistance features, including pre-collision, adaptive cruise control and lane departure alert/keep assist systems.

A fully digital user experience includes a 10.25-inch driver’s combimeter and a 10.1-inch multimedia display, seamlessly integrated into a sleek, single unit. Easy smartphone integration will be provided for both Apple CarPlay and Android auto systems.

Premium quality equipment features will be available, including a 360-degree camera, JBL sound system and power driver’s seat adjustment. A fixed sunroof will also be offered.
