Toyota has officially unveiled the Urban Cruiser Ebella, a fully electric B‑segment SUV that marks the Japanese automaker’s debut in the Indian electric‑vehicle market. Built on the same platform as the Maruti Suzuki e‑Vitara, the Ebella adds a more aggressive front look, a fresh LED signature lighting set and a suite of tech features aimed at urban drivers.
Design and Dimensions
Measuring 4,285 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,640 mm in height, the Ebella sits on a 2,700 mm wheelbase. Buyers can choose from five solid‑color paint options and four two‑tone combinations that feature a black roof panel. While the styling cues echo the e‑Vitara, the front bumper, grille and LED daytime running lights have been re‑engineered for a sportier vibe that aligns with Toyota’s global design language.
The 18‑inch aerodynamic wheels are identical to those on the e‑Vitara, and the rear doors open with integrated handles on the C‑pillar for a cleaner silhouette. Toyota’s signature rear light cluster also makes an appearance, giving the SUV a distinctive look.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Urban Cruiser Ebella offers a digital-centric cockpit. A 10.1‑inch instrument cluster pairs with a 10.25‑inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Seats are upholstered in premium fabric, while the top‑trim variant upgrades to synthetic leather.
Standard safety equipment includes seven airbags, a 360‑degree camera system, and a panoramic roof. An upgraded JBL sound system adds a premium audio experience for long drives.
Powertrain Options
The Ebella is available in three trim levels – E1, E2 and E3 – all featuring front‑wheel drive.
Urban Cruiser Ebella E1
The entry‑level E1 is powered by a 144 hp electric motor delivering 189 Nm of torque, paired with a 49 kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery. This configuration provides a WLTP‑certified range of roughly 440 km.
Urban Cruiser Ebella E2 & E3
The mid‑range E2 and top‑spec E3 step up to a 174 hp motor, still with 189 Nm of torque, but boast a larger 61 kWh LFP pack. Both variants achieve an estimated maximum range of 543 km – about 103 km more than the E1.
Weight varies by trim: 1,725 kg (E1), 1,785 kg (E2) and 1,815 kg (E3).
Pricing and Market Positioning
In India, the Urban Cruiser Ebella is priced between US$20,800 and US$26,200, depending on the chosen trim. The EV is set to compete directly with the Maruti Suzuki e‑Vitara, Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6 and Vietnam’s VinFast VF 6.
Why It Matters
With its competitive range, modern tech suite and Toyota’s reputation for reliability, the Urban Cruiser Ebella could become a strong contender in an increasingly crowded Indian electric‑SUV segment. Its launch underscores Toyota’s commitment to expanding its electrified portfolio in emerging markets.
