– 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.
