2025 Toyota Urban Cruiser Revealed – Best AWD Compac Electric SUV
Toyota is expanding its lagging EV lineup with the all-new Urban Cruiser EV, a small electric SUV that shares more than a passing resemblance to the Suzuki e-Vitara. Set to debut at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show in January, the Urban Cruiser offers a glimpse into Toyota’s electric future, even if it borrows heavily from its Suzuki counterpart.
While the Urban Cruiser shares its underpinnings and much of its design with the e-Vitara, Toyota has given it a unique face with different headlights and distinctive tail lights. The interior also gets some Toyota-specific touches, but the overall layout and features remain largely the same, including a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch infotainment screen.
The Urban Cruiser will be available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, with three power outputs and two lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery options. FWD models offer either 142 hp (106 kW) or 172 hp (128 kW), while the AWD version gets 182 hp (135 kW) from a dual-motor setup. Battery options include a 49 kWh unit (FWD only) and a 61 kWh unit (FWD and AWD).
