Toyota Ebella quick review

The Ebella is a badge-engineered sibling of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. 

• Despite its commonalities with the e-Vitara, the front-end on the Ebella looks quite distinctive. 
• The side profile and rear, however, are mostly unchanged. 

• Physical keys for climate control, and a volume knob, are welcome additions.
• The infotainment UI/UX, however, isn't intuitive and is cumbersome to use.  

• 10-way powered seats are very comfortable
• However, because of the high floor, you're seated in a knees-up position.

• Limited headroom and knees-up seating detract from comfort.
• Also, rear sunshades are missing.

• Quality of materials and feel of switchgear is excellent.
• Dual-tone black and brown upholstery lends a premium feel. 

• Performance feels adequate, with 0-100kph coming up in 9.25 seconds 
• It doesn't have the typical EV-like snappy responses, which is nice. 

• Ride quality leaves a lot to be desired - feels crashy at low speeds, and floaty at high speeds.
• NVH levels are also quite high, and it needs better insulation.
