Toyota's Compact SUV set to join key growing market

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement of Toyota’s all-new Urban Cruiser, a battery-electric compact SUV that promises to combine style, versatility, and cutting-edge technology. Set to make its public debut at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, this eagerly awaited model will be available in the UK by the third quarter of 2025. With two battery options, front- and all-wheel drive variants, and a robust SUV design, the Urban Cruiser marks another significant step in Toyota’s journey toward a zero-emission future.


The Urban Cruiser’s striking design is more than just eye candy; it’s a testament to Toyota’s commitment to creating vehicles that marry functionality with style. Slightly larger than the Yaris Cross, this compact SUV features a “hammerhead” front-end design, muscular haunches, and rear lights that span the width of the vehicle. The exterior dimensions—4,285mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and 1,640mm in height—ensure a commanding road presence, while a turning radius of just 5.2m makes it nimble for urban driving. Buyers can choose from 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels and an array of colors, including bi-tone options with a contrasting black roof.

One of the standout features of the Urban Cruiser is its AWD system, which adds a 48kW motor to the rear axle. This configuration enhances stability on slippery or uneven surfaces and includes Downhill Assist Control and Trail Mode for tackling challenging terrains. Even the FWD models are equipped with a “snow mode” to improve traction on icy roads. These capabilities make the Urban Cruiser a reliable companion for all seasons and terrains, ensuring confidence behind the wheel no matter the conditions.


Technology takes center stage in the Urban Cruiser. A 10.25-inch digital driver’s display seamlessly integrates with a 10.1-inch multimedia screen, offering cloud-based navigation, smartphone integration, and access to Toyota’s MyToyota app. Safety is paramount, with features like adaptive cruise control, a pre-collision system, and a 360-degree camera to assist in parking and off-road navigation. Higher trims offer luxuries such as a JBL premium audio system, a fixed sunroof, and powered seat adjustments, ensuring every journey is as comfortable as it is convenient.


To get the most out of the Urban Cruiser, a home EV charger from Lemac Power is the perfect complement.

With features like smart app integration, you can schedule charging sessions to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. Whether you opt for the FWD or AWD model, a Lemac Power charger ensures your Urban Cruiser is always ready to hit the road. Explore our range and make the switch to smarter, greener charging today.

Inside, the Urban Cruiser punches above its weight in terms of space and flexibility. Its 2,700mm wheelbase is 140mm longer than the Yaris Cross, providing a roomier cabin. A sliding rear seat system allows passengers to customize the interior layout, whether prioritizing legroom or cargo space. The 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats and adjustable recline further enhance versatility. Ambient lighting with 12 customizable colors and sophisticated black-and-grey upholstery create a refined yet practical environment. The high-set seating position and horizontal instrument panel offer excellent visibility and a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.


Toyota offers two battery sizes to suit diverse customer needs. The 49kWh battery, available exclusively in the front-wheel drive (FWD) variant, delivers 106kW (142bhp), while the 61kWh battery provides 128kW (172bhp) in the FWD model and 135kW (181bhp) in the all-wheel drive (AWD) version. Based on an average efficiency of 3.5 miles per kWh, estimated ranges are approximately 171 miles for the 49kWh battery and 213 miles for the 61kWh battery. Both variants come equipped with energy-saving features like a heat pump for climate control and manual battery pre-heating for optimal performance in cold weather.
