About the Toyota Urban Cruiser
The Toyota Urban Cruiser is an affordable EV that sits in Toyota’s range between the Yaris Cross Hybrid and the electric C-HR+.
It’s a compact hatchback-SUV crossover that’s roughly the same size as leasing rivals like the Kia EV3 and Volvo EX30.
The Urban Cruiser also has much in common with the Suzuki e Vitara, with the two cars sharing the same jointly-developed ‘Heartect-e’ electric platform.
There are differences between the Toyota Urban Cruiser and Suzuki e Vitara, however, with the Toyota wearing a distinct ‘hammerhead’ front face and the Suzuki unlocking the option of all-wheel drive.
Why lease the Toyota Urban Cruiser?
Toyota says its Urban Cruiser is an ‘authentic SUV’ with strong styling cues and which features a signature ‘hammerhead’ front design
While the Urban Cruiser is compact, a sliding rear bench of seats (fitted to every model) lets you find the balance between rear legroom and luggage space.
Two batteries are available; a 49 kWh unit providing 213 miles of range or a 61 kWh pack upping the distance to 264 miles between charges.
All variants are loaded with equipment, with entry-level models coming with two 10-inch screens, rear view camera, adaptive cruise control, and an energy-saving heat pump.

Toyota Reviews
Toyota has relaunched an old car that went out of production over a decade ago, so how much of an improvement is the new one? Overall, the Toyota Urban Cruiser is practical and comfortable but it’s slow to charge and some of its electric rivals will be more appealing to lease customers.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Frequently Asked Questions
The Toyota Urban Cruiser is available to lease with a choice of two different batteries. The smaller 49 kWh offers power of 144hp and a range of up to 213 miles. A larger 61 kWh battery is available on the Design and Excel trims and boasts more power (174hp) and a longer EV range of 264 miles.
One of the Toyota Urban Cruiser’s unique features is its sliding rear bench of seats. You can move the entire row backwards and forwards depending on whether you’re prioritising legroom or boot space. The luggage capacity moves between a max of 238-310 litres, depending on where the seats are positioned. Even with boot space maximised, however, the luggage capacity is smaller than some other key rivals, including the Kia EV3.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser was launched in the UK with front-wheel drive only. The Urban Cruiser does, however, share much in common with the Suzuki e Vitara, with both cars built on the same platform. And the e Vitara does offer ‘Allgrip’ all-wheel drive on certain models.
Yes, all versions of the Toyota Urban Cruiser are fitted with a heat pump and boast manual battery pre-heating/pre-conditioning to help either warm the cabin or to optimise the battery temperature before charging. A heat pump is much more efficient than a regular car heater and can maximise driving range, particularly in winter.
The entry-level Icon trim of the Toyota Urban Cruiser comes with 18-inch alloys, sliding rear seats, a heat pump, 10.1-inch infotainment screen, a 10.25-inch driver display, and safety tech such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitor.
Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
