Toyota’s next EV is this small Urban Cruiser SUV for Europe


It’s Toyota’s version of the recently announced Suzuki E Vitara.

Toyota says the wheelbase is only about 5 inches longer than the European-only Yaris Cross, making it another fun-sized electric EV slated for the continent like the recently revealed Ford Puma Gen-E or Hyundai Inster. Toyota says power output can get as high as 135kW in the AWD version (with 40kW on the rear axel for “stable and secure performance on loose and slippery surfaces”) and up to 300 Nm of torque. All models come with a heat pump and include the ability to manually start preconditioning the battery to prepare for a DC fast charging session.
