Toyota has revealed the Urban Cruiser Ebella in the Indian market. This midsize electric SUV is Toyota’s first fully electric offering for the Indian market and has been developed under a joint development program with Suzuki. The urban cruiser Ebella’s platform, key components and powertrain strategy is shared with the Maruti Suzuki Vitara. Its booking has started with a token amount of Rs 25,000 and it will compete with midsize electric SUVs like Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV and Mahindra XEV 9e.
This electric SUV is based on the Heartect-e skateboard platform and will be produced at Suzuki Motor Gujarat’s factory. This EV-specific architecture allows sharing of many components such as batteries, electronics and electrical systems. With this strategy, Toyota will be able to keep its costs low and easily increase sales in India as well as exports.

Both variants have a single electric motor, which produces 172 HP of power and 189 Nm of torque. With the big battery, the company claims an ARAI-certified range of up to 543 km. Along with AC charging, it also has CCS2 DC fast charging support.
Talking about design, Urban Cruiser Ebella has a modern hammerhead-style front facia. It gets slim LED headlamps, integrated DRLs and the closed grille that is typical of electric cars. The BEV badge near the front fender reveals the location of the charging port. In side profile, it looks similar to the e Vitara, but it gets different 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
