Manufacturing duties for the Urban Cruiser BEV will be handled at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant where it will be built on the Heartect e platform. The architecture has been developed specifically for electric vehicles and allows extensive component sharing between Toyota and Suzuki. Courtesy of common utilisation of battery layouts, electronics and systems, Toyota could price the Urban Cruiser BEV competitively.
Globally, the Urban Cruiser BEV is offered with two battery pack choices – 49 kWh and 61.1 kWh. Both versions are powered by a single electric motor producing 172 hp and 192 Nm of torque. Range figures are expected to be close to 550 km on a single charge.

The equipment list is expected to be generous including a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, front ventilated seats, etc.
With the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara expected to arrive first, Toyota’s Urban Cruiser BEV which was first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 will look to appeal to a wide range of consumers in the midsize e-SUV space comprising Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV, Mahindra XEV 9e and others.
