The Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella marks Toyota’s entry into the Indian electric vehicle market, serving as a premium sibling to the recently launched Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. Following the announcement of the e Vitara’s prices, anticipation is high for the Urban Cruiser Ebella’s official pricing reveal, expected soon. This midsize electric SUV promises a blend of efficient powertrains, long range, and a host of premium features tailored for urban and highway use.
Toyota has not yet officially announced the prices for the Urban Cruiser Ebella, but industry estimates place it in the competitive mid-size EV segment. Based on expert analyses and comparisons with its Maruti counterpart (which starts around ₹15.99 lakh ex-showroom for battery-inclusive variants), the Urban Cruiser Ebella is widely expected to command a slight premium due to Toyota branding, additional refinements, and select exclusive features.Anticipated ex-showroom prices (in ₹ lakh):
- Base variant (E1, 49 kWh): Around ₹17 lakh
- Mid variant (E2, 61 kWh): Around ₹19.5 lakh
- Top variant (E3, 61 kWh): Around ₹21 lakh (some sources suggest up to ₹24 lakh for fully loaded trims)
Expected Pricing
These figures position it against rivals like the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, and MG ZS EV. Toyota also offers customer-friendly options, including an 8-year battery warranty, a 60% buyback assurance, and a potential Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program to lower upfront costs—similar to the e Vitara’s model starting at ₹10.99 lakh plus per-km battery rental.Prices are tentative and could vary upon official announcement, expected in the coming weeks, with the full launch slated for February 2026.

Powertrain and Performance
The Urban Cruiser Ebella is built on a dedicated EV platform and features front-wheel-drive with two lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack options paired with front-axle electric motors. LFP batteries are known for durability, safety, and longevity.
- 49 kWh battery pack (entry-level E1 variant):
- Power: Approximately 142 bhp (106 kW)
- Torque: 189 Nm
- ARAI-certified range: Up to 440 km
- Ideal for city commuters seeking affordability and sufficient daily range
- 61 kWh battery pack (higher E2 and E3 variants):
- Power: Approximately 171.5–174 bhp (128 kW)
- Torque: 189 Nm
- ARAI-certified range: Up to 543 km
- Better suited for longer drives with stronger performance
Both setups deliver instant torque for responsive acceleration, smooth one-pedal driving via adjustable regenerative braking, and efficient energy use. DC fast charging support (up to 150 kW) enables quick top-ups, making it practical for road trips.
Premium Features and Interior
Toyota emphasizes comfort, safety, and technology in the Urban Cruiser Ebella, positioning it as a premium offering in its class.Key highlights include:
- Safety: Seven airbags, Level-2 ADAS (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more—likely on top variants), 360-degree camera, and electronic parking brake.
- Comfort and Convenience: Ventilated front seats, electrically adjustable driver’s seat (up to 10-way), sliding and reclining rear seats for enhanced passenger space, dual-screen setup (10.1-inch digital driver’s display + 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen), wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, connected car tech, PM 2.5 air filter, and noise/IR-reducing front windshield.
- Audio and Ambience: Premium JBL sound system with woofer for immersive audio.
- Exterior and Practicality: Modern SUV styling with Toyota-specific design cues (distinct from the e Vitara), 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, and a claimed turning radius of 5.2 meters for easy urban maneuverability.
Why It Stands Out
As Toyota’s first EV in India, the Urban Cruiser Ebella benefits from the brand’s reputation for reliability and after-sales support. Sharing underpinnings with the Maruti e Vitara allows cost efficiencies while Toyota adds its touch through enhanced features, build quality, and ownership perks like extended battery assurance.With growing EV adoption in India, this SUV targets buyers seeking a practical, feature-packed electric crossover without compromising on range or refinement. Official prices and deliveries are anticipated shortly after the announcement—stay tuned for updates as February 2026 approaches!
