The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV will be launched in India on January 19, 2026. The Urban Cruiser EV price is expected to start at around Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom), and it will be the first Toyota electric car to launch in India. A rebadged version of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV will rival electric midsize SUVs like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, and more.
Much like the e Vitara, the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV is expected to be equipped with 49kWh and 61kWh battery packs. These are wired up to a single front-mounted electric motor that may output 144-174hp, depending on the battery option. The claimed Toyota Urban Cruiser EV range could be in the 540km ballpark.
On the outside, the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV is mostly similar to the e Vitara, aside from a reworked fascia with triangular LED headlights that integrate segmented DRLs and are bridged by gloss black trim. The Urban Cruiser EV might also sport changes to its bumpers and alloy wheels, along with offering distinct colour options from the e Vitara.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV interior is anticipated to heavily resemble that of the e Vitara, with only the colour scheme and certain trim pieces likely to be different. Elsewhere, the Urban Cruiser EV will offer features like a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, 10.1-inch digital driver’s display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, fixed panoramic glass roof, powered driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, etc. The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV safety features are expected to include 6 airbags as standard, ABS with EBD, Level 2 ADAS, traction control, ISOFIX child seat anchors, ESP, parking sensors, 360-degree camera, and more.
