Presented at the Paris Motor Show with little emphasis given the arrival of the IQ, the Toyota Urban Cruiser is offered as a city crossover model. The dimensions are relatively contained at 3.93 metres long, 1.72 wide and 1.54 high.
The look is virtually the same as the concept that was presented at Geneva at the beginning of 2008, and reflect that of the Scion - the Toyota brand reserved for young customers in America. The interior shows a new design, with updated instrument panel with digital indicators.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser will be available with the 1.4 litre D4D 90 hp engine, capable of 175km/hr with acceleration to 100 km/hr achieved in 12.7 seconds. Fuel consumption is an average of 5.1 litres per 100km and emissions are 133 g/km. With the diesel model, electronically controlled all wheel drive is available, the same as the RAV4, and the 1.3 litre petrol engine will have rear wheel drive and Stop&Start system.
The boot has a capacity of 314 litres and the car is available with seven airbags. Toyota aims at sales of 30,000 units in Europe for 2009.
