1 Design  

The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV, while derived from the Suzuki e Vitara, showcases a unique design. The front features sleeker headlamps and a more refined grille, with a less pronounced bumper that includes functional air vents on the sides. Nevertheless, the side profile remains unchanged. The vehicle is available with either 18 or 19-inch wheels equipped with aerodynamic covers. The tail lights exhibit a connected, wraparound style, and the rear door handles are seamlessly integrated into the C-pillar. Additionally, black body cladding is present lower on the vehicle, contributing to a rugged aesthetic.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV has dimensions of 4,285 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,640 mm in height, making it slightly larger than its counterpart, the e Vitara. The electric SUV features a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.
