Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella: New Electric SUV Set for India Launch

Toyota is preparing to introduce a new electric SUV in India called the Urban Cruiser Ebella. This upcoming model will enter the midsize SUV segment with a strong focus on features, practicality, and range. The official price announcement is expected soon, especially after the recent launch of its related model, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara.

The Ebella is based on the Heartect e electric platform, which has been jointly developed by Toyota and Suzuki for future EVs.

Electric Platform and Battery Options

The Urban Cruiser Ebella will be manufactured at Suzuki Motor Corporation’s Gujarat plant. It will be offered with two front-wheel-drive battery options.

The entry-level version uses a 49 kWh battery pack, delivering around 142 bhp. The higher variant comes with a 61 kWh battery, producing about 171.5 bhp and 189 Nm torque. This larger battery is expected to offer a driving range of up to 543 km on a single charge.

Both variants will support standard home charging as well as CCS2 DC fast charging, making them practical for both daily use and longer trips.
