Toyota Urban Cruiser EV to Launch Tomorrow- Expected Price, Features and More

Toyota's Urban Cruiser EV offers a driving range near 550 km and starts at Rs 19 lakh, entering India's competitive midsize electric SUV market.

  • On January 20, 2026, Toyota launched the Urban Cruiser EV in India, its first all-electric vehicle built at Suzuki Motors' Gujarat plant as a twin to the Maruti Suzuki e‑Vitarra.
  • After launching in Europe last month, Toyota is bringing the low-cost Urban Cruiser to India amid a market dominated by domestic brands like Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra with supportive policies.
  • Autocar India reports the Urban Cruiser EV will start at Rs 19 lakh–Rs 25 lakh with two battery options, 49 kWh and 61 kWh, offering up to 543 km ARAI-certified range and close to 550 km claimed range.
  • Competing with established midsize EVs, the Urban Cruiser will challenge the Hyundai Creta Electric priced from Rs 18.02 lakh and rivals like Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra BE 6, while local production helps Toyota offset import tariffs.
  • As an India-made model designed for overseas markets such as Europe, the Urban Cruiser's claimed range close to 550 km and sub-$35,000 pricing could boost exports and India's global EV hub role.
