The plastic cladding all around the SUV gives it a dual-tone look and also protects against stone chips. The SUV gives a sleek stance due to its sloping roofline, which also makes it more aerodynamic.
In terms of the spec sheet, the Urban Cruiser EBELLA gets a 49 kWh battery pack that gives it a 543 km range on a full charge. It will also be available in a 61 kWh battery pack and the electric motor generates 171 hp and 189 Nm of torque, giving the EV a front-wheel drive setup.

While Toyota has confirmed the imminent arrival of the Urban Cruiser EBELLA in India, it has not confirmed any launch date or price details about its first electric SUV. We expect the EBELLA to be priced between the Rs 15 lakh and Rs 25 lakh bracket. Prices could start from a more affordable range, considering Toyota will offer a BAAS (battery as a service) ownership model with the EV as well.
