Toyota has taken the wraps off the Urban Cruiser Ebella, its first EV for India. Apart from a few differences to its exterior design, the Ebella looks similar to its badge-engineered version, the Maruti e Vitara. The Urban Cruiser Ebella will be offered in three trim levels – E1, E2 and E3 – paired with either a 49kWh or a 61kWh battery pack, depending on the trim. Let’s dive deeper into the Urban Cruiser Ebella range.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella powertrains
Available with either a 49kWh or a 61kWh battery pack.
The E1 trim comes only with the 49kWh battery pack, while the E2 and E3 only get the bigger 61kWh pack; ARAI-claimed range is 440km and 543km, respectively. Both battery packs have a front axle-mounted motor that puts out 144hp and 189Nm on the smaller pack, and 171hp and 189Nm on the 61kWh version.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella colours
Available in 9 exterior paint options.
The Urban Cruiser Ebella can be had with five monotone and four dual tone paint options. Monotone colours include Sportin Red, Cafe White, Enticing Silver, Gaming Grey, and Bluish Black. Dual-tone options – Cafe White, Sportin Red, Land Breeze green and Enticing Silver – get a black roof.

The E2 trim, while offering a bigger battery pack, does not get as many features over the E1 trim. The top E3 trim not only brings a bigger battery pack but also gets more creature comforts like ventilated front seats, a powered driver's seat, level 2 ADAS and a sunroof.
