– The Urban SUV, which will be presented in the first half of 2024, offers an affordable and innovative proposal for the market. With a modern design and advanced features, it promises to be a standout in the segment.

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

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