Toyota India has officially lifted the covers on the Urban Cruiser Ebella, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s electrification strategy for the Indian market. This newly revealed electric SUV — a badge-engineered sibling of the forthcoming Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara — signals Toyota’s entry into the increasingly competitive mid-size electric SUV segment in India.

The Urban Cruiser Ebella carries a familiar silhouette shared with the Maruti e-Vitara but introduces Toyota-specific styling cues. Visually, it features a distinctive front fascia with sleek segmented LED daytime running lights, triangular LED headlights, and an aerodynamic bumper design. Additional exterior highlights include 18-inch aero-optimized alloy wheels and multiple color options — both monotone and dual-tone finishes — that help set it apart in its class.
Positioned to compete with rivals such as the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, and Vinfast VF6, the Ebella is Toyota’s bid to capture demand in India’s rapidly growing electric mobility landscape.
Toyota will offer the Urban Cruiser Ebella with two LFP battery pack options:
The larger 61 kWh battery variant delivers an ARAI-certified range of up to 543 km on a single charge, while the smaller battery offers up to 440 km range — making the Ebella suitable for both urban commuting and longer highway journeys.
How Long Do Electric Car Batteries Last

Inside, the Urban Cruiser Ebella offers a modern and well-equipped cabin that blends comfort with contemporary tech features. Highlights include:
Toyota has also introduced a clear variant hierarchy across three trims — E1, E2, and E3 — with the higher trims offering enhanced equipment, dual-tone color options, a powered driver’s seat, a panoramic sunroof, and more.
Safety is a key focus for the Ebella. The SUV comes standard with seven airbags and disc brakes on all four wheels, and higher variants add a Level-2 ADAS suite with advanced driver-assist features such as lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. Other safety technologies include a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control, and tyre pressure monitoring.

Toyota has bolstered the Ebella’s value proposition with a comprehensive support ecosystem. This includes an 8-year battery warranty, a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program for flexible ownership, and an assured buy-back scheme offering up to 60 % residual value after three years — all aimed at reducing long-term EV ownership concerns.

Additionally, Toyota has prepared its service infrastructure with over 500 BEV-enabled service touchpoints nationwide, supported by trained technicians and dedicated diagnostic tools.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella thus represents Toyota’s first major electric vehicle effort for India, bringing together global EV technology, practical range figures, strong safety credentials, and an ownership ecosystem designed to appeal to mainstream buyers. With bookings already opened and
