Toyota to Unveil Urban Cruiser EV in India Today

The badge-engineered sibling of Maruti's e Vitara becomes Toyota's first electric passenger vehicle for India.

Overview

  • The reveal is slated for January 20, with final India-specific specifications and pricing to be disclosed at the event.
  • Co-developed with Suzuki, the SUV will be produced at Suzuki Motor Gujarat on the Heartect-e platform to keep costs competitive.
  • Two LFP battery choices are expected—about 49 kWh and 61 kWh—driving a single front motor with roughly 144–174 bhp.
  • Range is expected to align with the e Vitara’s claims, with ARAI figures up to around 543 km for the larger pack.
  • Indicative pricing of roughly Rs 19 lakh to Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom) would place it against the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE 6 and Maruti e Vitara.
