Toyota Urban SUV - The Carmaker's Latest Electric Marvel Set to Electrify Roads in 2024
by AutoExpert | 5 December, 2023
Toyota is gearing up to make a grand entrance into the electric urban SUV market with its latest offering, a sleek and chunky competitor to the Volvo EX30.
Set to hit the streets in 2024, this sub-compact SUV, revealed in Brussels, is not just another addition to the electric vehicle (EV) family; it's a game-changer.
The Buzz About Toyota's Electric Debut
While the Yaris Cross has been winning hearts with its hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, Toyota's new Urban SUV Concept is about to take things up a notch.
This concept, a clear signal of the upcoming production version, promises to be an electric alternative that stands apart. Its design? Almost ready for the roads, just swap out those digital mirrors for traditional ones.
A New Contender in the Electric Arena
Toyota isn't just dipping its toes in the EV market; it's diving in headfirst. The Urban SUV is one of six electric cars Toyota plans to launch in Europe over the next two years.
Poised to compete with the likes of the electric Jeep Avenger and the upcoming Mini Aceman, this SUV is rumored to be based on the e-TNGA platform, akin to the bZ4X.
More Than Just Good Looks
Don’t let its size fool you. This SUV packs a punch with a lengthier, wider, and taller stance than the Yaris Cross. With options for front- or all-wheel drive and two battery sizes, the biggest offering an impressive 250 miles range, it's as practical as it is stylish.
And while it may come with a price premium, its starting range around £30,000 makes it a tantalizing option for those looking to go electric.
Electric Dreams Becoming Reality
While Toyota has been tight-lipped about the technical specifics, the buzz around this vehicle is undeniable. With a design that's ready to captivate and technology that promises efficiency, the Urban SUV is more than just a new car; it's a glimpse into the future of urban mobility.
