Toyota is gearing up for the launch of its much-anticipated Urban Cruiser EV in the Indian market. Ahead of its debut, the company has released a teaser offering a glimpse of the SUV's silhouette. With the official launch scheduled for tomorrow, i.e 20th January 2026, anticipation is building around what the Urban Cruiser EV will bring to Toyota's electric lineup in India.
Toyota Urba Cruiser EV: Design
Toyota India has shared a fresh teaser of the Urban Cruiser EV on its official Instagram page, offering new design details. The short clip highlights aero-efficient, diamond-cut alloy wheels followed by a glimpse of the SUV's right LED headlight, which integrates a single-strip LED DRL and projector setup. Built on the Maruti e-Vitara platform, the Urban Cruiser EV sports a redesigned front end with sleek LED units framed in black trim, echoing the premium Camry's styling. Muscular proportions, thick cladding, high haunches, aero-optimised alloy wheels, and a wraparound tail-light with a distinctive LED signature complete its bold stance.
Toyota Urban Cruiser EV: Interior
While the interior details of the Urban Cruiser EV are still under wraps, it is expected that the cabin focuses on comfort and practicality with soft-touch surfaces and leatherette upholstery. It features a dual-screen setup combining a 10.25-inch driver display and a 10.1-inch infotainment unit. Convenience is enhanced through wireless charging, a powered driver's seat, and ventilated front seats, while a floating centre console adds useful storage, including space for charging cables. A fixed glass roof contributes to a more open feel inside, rounding off a design that blends technology with everyday usability.
