Toyota reveals affordable urban crossover as smallest, cheapest EV
The compact new Urban Crossover concept previews one of five new electric cars that Toyota will launch in Europe within the next two years.
Positioned as a rival to the likes of the Jeep Avenger and Mini Aceman, it arrives as the Japanese firm accelerates the expansion of its electric car line-up in the run-up to 2026.
That's when Toyota will begin launching an all-new family of cars atop the modular architecture that it revealed in October, with next-generation batteries that dramatically boost range and efficiency.
Toyota product development boss Andrea Carlucci said this boldly styled B-segment SUV concept "gives a strong indication of what will be a strong contributor" to Toyota's European EV sales over the coming years.
The firm will reveal full specifications in the first half of 2024, when it takes the wraps off the production-ready version, which remains unnamed.
For now, Toyota has confirmed only its dimensions: 4300mm long by 1820mm wide and 1620mm tall.
