By Toyota officially revealed the Urban SUV Concept, which is going to be based on the same platform as the Maruti Suzuki eVX. The Urban SUV Concept shares a similar design theme to the eVX as the company is expected to introduce the production version towards the end of 2024. Both the Urban SUV and the eVX underpins the all-new 27PL Skateboard electric platform, which is jointly developed by Toyota and Suzuki as the first product to come out from this platform is going to be the production version of eVX.
The Urban SUV Concept looks slightly toned down compared to eVX as the front gets full-length DRL while the bumper design is simple and the company has given air curtains on either side to reduce drag while the hood is also sculpted. On the side, Toyota has given big wheel arches which gives a muscular look to the SUV and the wheels appear to be either 20 or 21-inch but the production model will come with a smaller version. The door handles are integrated into the body while the rear door handle is hidden.
The concept model gets a camera on either side instead of the mirror and reports suggest that the production model could carry the same as replacing mirrors with cameras is not yet mainstream. The rear gets full-length LED tail lamps along with the same bumper design as the front. The interior of the concept is not yet revealed but it could be similar to the eVX. Toyota will offer both single-electric motor and dual-electric motor versions of the Urban SUV Concept, while the expected range of the SUV could be around 400 km.
