– The Urban SUV, which will be unveiled in the first half of 2024, offers an accessible and innovative proposal for the market. With modern design and advanced functionalities, it promises to be a highlight in the segment.

According to discussions held in the forum, Toyota‘s strategy to achieve zero emissions will not rely exclusively on electric vehicles with batteries. This is because the company plans to launch the third generation of hydrogen fuel cell technology in 2026, aiming to expand its presence in the market.

The somewhat robust appearance resembles the recently launched C-HR at the front, and although it is presented as a concept car, it is likely that the final production model will not differ much from what we see here, except for the external mirrors, which should be replaced by conventional models.

The compact SUV is among the 15 zero-emission models that Toyota plans to offer in Europe by 2026, covering both the passenger car segment and commercial vehicles – six of which will be ‘pure’ electric vehicles.

The Urban SUV is developed based on Toyota’s new exclusive electric platform, which is currently under development. This model will offer options for rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and will have two options for batteries, although specifications have not yet been released. Compared to other models like the Peugeot e-2008 or Hyundai Creta, the Urban SUV has similar dimensions, with a length of 4,300 mm, a width of 1,820 mm, and a height of 1,620 mm.

Toyota has released several details about its energy transition strategy, including a “nearly finalized” prototype of a compact electric SUV that will be officially presented in Europe in the first half of 2024. This vehicle will be crucial in changing Toyota’s landscape in the electric vehicle market.

The future competitor of the Volvo EX30, the new model is called ‘Urban SUV‘ and will serve as the brand’s entry-level electric car when launched next year. It was introduced at the Kenshiki Forum in Brussels and will be available alongside other models hybrids for the European market.
