Toyota has taken another major step in its electrification journey by unveiling the Urban Cruiser Ebella EV for the Indian market. Revealed in January 2026, the new electric SUV enters the mid-size segment and is based on the same platform as the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. However, Toyota has given the Ebella its own identity with unique exterior design elements and brand-specific styling. Designed as a premium yet practical electric SUV, the Ebella is aimed at families who want long driving range, modern technology, and the assurance of Toyota’s proven reliability.
The Urban Cruiser Ebella EV will be available with two battery options, including a 49 kWh pack and a larger 61 kWh battery. Toyota claims the bigger battery can deliver a range of up to 543 km on a single charge, placing it among the longest-range electric SUVs in its class. The electric motor produces up to 174 PS and drives the front wheels. Rather than chasing outright performance, Toyota has focused on delivering a smooth, efficient, and comfortable driving experience suitable for both city use and long highway journeys.
In terms of features, the Urban Cruiser Ebella EV offers a strong package that matches current market expectations. The electric SUV is expected to come equipped with Level 2 ADAS to enhance safety, along with a panoramic sunroof, twin digital displays for infotainment and driver information, ventilated front seats, and a JBL premium audio system. This feature set positions the Ebella as a serious contender in the premium mid-size electric SUV space, where competition is set to intensify in the coming months.
Bookings for the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella EV have already begun, indicating that the official launch is close. Toyota is likely to introduce the electric SUV in India in February 2026, with pricing expected to be positioned competitively. With its impressive claimed range, well-rounded feature list, and Toyota’s extensive sales and service network, the Urban Cruiser Ebella EV has the potential to play a key role in India’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle market.
