#2026 #Toyota #Urban #Cruiser
Toyota introduces the all-new 2025 Toyota Urban Cruiser, a compact battery-electric SUV designed to meet growing demand in the European market. Built on the foundation of the Urban SUV Concept, the Urban Cruiser strengthens Toyota's position in the highly competitive segment of compact electric SUVs, while enhancing its all-electric lineup.
This launch aligns with Toyota's broader strategy of offering diverse electrified drivetrains. By 2026, the lineup will feature 15 zero-emission vehicles, including six models utilizing a dedicated battery-electric vehicle platform. The Urban Cruiser contributes to Toyota’s goal of achieving 100% CO2 reduction in Europe by 2035, complementing its portfolio of plug-in hybrid, full hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles.
With a longer wheelbase compared to the Yaris Cross (+140 mm), the Urban Cruiser delivers a spacious cabin, enhanced by a sliding rear seat system for adjustable passenger comfort. The split-folding rear seats (40:20:40 configuration) and reclining options provide versatility for cargo or passengers, making it comparable to larger SUVs.
The interior design combines a clean, open aesthetic with high seating positions for improved visibility. Upholstery features black and dark grey trims, complemented by ambient lighting with 12 customizable color options.
The Urban Cruiser offers flexible powertrain choices with two lithium-iron phosphate battery packs:
49 kWh (Front-Wheel Drive): Produces 106 kW / 144 DIN hp.
61 kWh (Front-Wheel Drive): Produces 128 kW / 174 DIN hp.
61 kWh (All-Wheel Drive): Produces 135 kW / 184 DIN hp.
All versions include an energy-efficient heat pump for climate control and a battery pre-heating system for optimal performance in colder conditions.
The Urban Cruiser is built on Toyota’s new battery-electric platform, offering a strong yet lightweight structure. The absence of floor crossmembers allows for enhanced cabin space and seamless integration of the high-voltage battery system.
The AWD variant incorporates a 48 kW motor on the rear axle for improved traction and stability on challenging surfaces. Additional features include:
Trail Mode: Detects and mitigates wheel spin by transferring torque to the opposite wheel.
Downhill Assist Control: Provides stability on steep descents.
Snow Mode: Reduces wheel slip in snowy conditions for FWD models.
Every Urban Cruiser is equipped with modern safety and driver assistance systems, including:
Pre-Collision System
Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane Departure Alert
Lane Keep Assist
360-Degree Camera for enhanced visibility during parking or off-road navigation.
The digital cockpit integrates a 10.25-inch digital combimeter and a 10.1-inch multimedia display. The multimedia system offers cloud-based navigation, traffic updates, and smartphone compatibility for app access.
The MyToyota app and Toyota HomeCharge domestic wallbox simplify vehicle charging. The app allows users to monitor battery charge levels, locate charging stations, and schedule sessions.
Depending on the model grade, features include a JBL premium audio system, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a fixed sunroof for added convenience and comfort.
