The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV, though based on the Suzuki e Vitara has a distinct design. The fascia gets slimmer headlamps and grille, the bumper is less bold with functional air vents on the flanks. However, the side profile remains the same. The wheels on offer are 18 or 19-inch wheels with aero covers. The tail lamps get a connected and wraparound design. The rear door handles are integrated into the C-pillar and there is black body cladding lower down on the body of the car for a rugged look.
The dimensions of the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV measure 4,285 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,640 mm in height. This makes the electric SUV slightly larger than its cousin, the e Vitara. The EV has a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.

It features a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.1-inch digital instrument console and a two-spoke steering wheel. Other features on offer include an electronic parking brake and auto hold functionality, wireless charging, a JBL sound system, automatic climate control, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat and a sunroof. Additionally, the electric SUV will also come with an ADAS suite of safety features and a 360-degree camera.
