You can think of the Toyota Urban Cruiser as an electric sibling to the hugely popular Yaris Cross hybrid, but actually it’s closer - identical under the skin, in fact - to the incoming new Suzuki e-Vitara, with both cars sharing the same batteries, chassis and much of their interiors. Slightly small on the inside, and lacking exceptional range, the Urban Cruiser does at least come with rugged lithium-iron phosphate batteries and there’s no shortage of performance on offer. For now, though, it would appear that the Urban Cruiser will not be offered for sale in Ireland.
