TOYOTA is set to return its Urban Cruiser crossover to UK roads as a fully electric family car.

The new model made its public debut at January’s Brussels Motor Show and promises to offer greater cabin accommodation and a more rugged look than its predecessor, which departed UK showrooms in 2012.

Toyota’s new Urban Cruiser is slightly larger than Yaris Cross, with a 2.7m wheelbase and sliding rear seats set to provide flexible cabin space.

It shares its chassis architecture with the new Suzuki e Vitara, bringing a choice of two drivetrains.

One features a 49kWh battery, a 144PS power output and front-wheel drive.

The other uses a larger 61kWh battery, offering front or all-wheel drive and an output of 174PS.

Details of the Urban Cruiser’s potential driving range have yet to be released.

However, Toyota said a 360-degree camera and a JBL sound system will feature among its trim highlights.
