Toyota Urban Cruiser EV Introduced, Yaris Cross Electric Version

KatadataOTO – After the bZ4X, Toyota has finally launched their newest electric car product, the Urban Cruiser EV. Just like the bZ4X, this model fills the SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) segment, which is currently a trend and in demand by consumers.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV uses the same platform as the Suzuki e Vitara electric car. In fact, it is known that the battery and drivetrain configurations of both models are the same.

The Urban Cruiser EV made its public debut at the Brussels Motor Show 2025 automotive exhibition, held from January 10-20.

The design of the Urban Cruiser EV is different from the bZ4X, which tends to be sportier and more assertive. However, it shares the same identity, with the headlight design featuring a hammerhead concept, which is one of the current hallmarks of Toyota's electric cars.
