The Urban Cruiser Ebella makes its debut in India as Toyota’s first all-electric SUV. With two battery variants, it positions the brand against rivals like Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV, and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. Bookings start January 20, 2026, while prices will follow.
Toyota’s Urban Cruiser Ebella, built on a dedicated electric architecture, mirrors the e Vitara’s core structure. Its modern design showcases a Camry-inspired hammerhead front, projector LED lights with DRLs, aerodynamic alloys, muscular cladding, and a signature full-width LED tail-lamp.
