Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella

Toyota Kirloskar Motor is all set to mark its debut in the Indian EV (electric vehicle) segment with the Urban Cruiser eBella. It’s essentially a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki eVitara, featuring Toyota’s familiar design elements, while retaining the same features, powertrains, platform and components.

The Toyota Ebella will be offered in three trims – E1, E2 and E3. The entry-level E1 comes only with the 49kWh battery pack, while the E2 and E3 variants feature the larger 61kWh unit. The carmaker has confirmed that the eBella EV will be available with a BaaS (battery-as-a-service) rental scheme, an 8-year battery warranty and a 60% buyback assurance scheme.
