Toyota has officially pulled the covers off the Urban Cruiser Ebella, marking the brand’s serious entry into India’s fast-growing electric SUV space. With this launch, Toyota is signalling that it is ready to go beyond hybrids and compete head-on in the all-electric segment.
Positioned as a midsize electric SUV, the Urban Cruiser Ebella is aimed squarely at urban families and young professionals who want long range, modern features, and Toyota’s trademark reliability all in an EV package.
Electric Power With Practical Range
The Urban Cruiser Ebella is offered with two battery options. Buyers can choose between a 49 kWh pack for daily city use and a larger 61 kWh battery for those who travel longer distances. Toyota claims the bigger battery delivers a range of up to 543 km on a single charge, which should comfortably cover most real-world driving needs.
Power is sent to the front wheels, and the setup is tuned more for smooth, silent driving rather than outright aggression—very much in line with Toyota’s comfort-focused approach.
Familiar Yet Futuristic Design
On the outside, the Ebella carries a clean and modern SUV design. Slim LED daytime running lights, a closed-off grille, and sharp body lines give it a futuristic look without going over the top. Aerodynamic alloy wheels and dual-tone colour options add to its premium appeal.
Step inside, and the cabin feels contemporary and tech-driven. A large digital instrument cluster sits behind the steering wheel, while a wide touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage on the dashboard. The layout is simple, uncluttered, and clearly designed with everyday usability in mind.
Features That Matter

Highlights include ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting, and a premium sound system. The focus is clearly on comfort, convenience, and a calm driving experience.
Strong Focus on Safety
Safety is another area where the Ebella makes a strong impression. It comes equipped with multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and disc brakes on all four wheels. Higher variants also get advanced driver assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping support technology that is still rare in this price bracket.
Pricing and Market Position
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella to be priced between ₹19 lakh and ₹24 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it right in the heart of India’s competitive electric SUV market. Toyota is also likely to offer attractive ownership plans, including extended battery warranty options, to ease long-term ownership concerns.
Why the Ebella Matters

With a strong brand name, solid range figures, and a focus on reliability and safety, the Ebella could become a key player for buyers who want to switch to electric without taking risks.
