New Toyota Urban Cruiser EV TARGETS the Volvo EX30, Kia EV3 and more

December 12, 2024 By Cars UK

Taking aim at compact EV SUVs like the Kia EV3 and Volvo EX30, the Urban Cruiser comes with two battery options – 49kWh and 61kWh – and FWD and AWD options, with the entry-level FWD model with the 49kWh battery delivering 142bhp, the FWD model with 61kWh battery 172bhp and the AWD with 61kWh battery 181bhp. All models get a heat pump.

Inside, things are pretty much modern Toyota norm, with a 10.1″ infotainment and 10.25″ driver display all under a single cover, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as ell as the usual Toyota safety nannies like lane departure, collision avoidance and posh stuff like 360 camera system and JBL Sound on high-end models.

Toyota says the Urban Cruiser will go on sale in Q3 2025, and it seems likely prices will start the right side of £35k.
