What would you seriously accept? Worthy successors posted above under consideration are: Lexus UX (the UX apparently stands for “Urban Explorer”!) Toyota Yaris X (probably the most direct lineage replacement) and the effeminate Lexus LBX.  Any other suggestions????

2024 Toyota Urban Cruiser:

A rebadged Suzuki Fronx on sale in some Asian and Arabian markets.

Which passes more than a resemblance to the current Vitara

It is built by Suzuki Maruti.

🤦🏼‍♂️ not relevant for the UK 🇬🇧 and Europe , doubt anyone would ever import a ‘Maruti’ to the UK either 😂

Suzuki Vitara is boring. The Suzuki Jimny (2019 onwards) is way more interesting, something I think the UC has (for its time!)

Yaris cross is the car to be successor to urban cruiser. 
Shame it’s not available in petrol manual with proper awd system, it would be a great small real suv.

I can't think of many proper modern successors - They're all gigantic hausfrauenpanzers which are over-sized yet can't go over speed humps or any kind of rough terrain due to their 27" rims. It's always very sad seeing one have to tip-toe over a speed cushion while I don't even slow down in my 15"-shod Yaris  

I still like the original RAV4 - It was so small and cute! I've been told it was basically a Celica GT4 with a SUV body on it. It's a far cry from the elephantine behemoth it's become now!  

There are some hilarious Kei car 4x4s out there, and if you aren't put off by the 0 stars NCAP rating the Panda 4x4 is a fun and surprisingly capable vehicle on and off-road, although less so if you get sea sick  (I'm told it can be as rolypoly as the early Yaris models  )

Which, along with the Ignis and Swift Sport, is being canned by Suzuki.

The Yaris Cross (4,172mm L x 1,765mm W x 1,595mm H - wheelbase 2,560mm)  is very close in size to the Urban Cruiser (3,995mm L x 1,790km W x 1,640mm H - wheelbase 2,500mm), so is probably Toyota's spiritual successor to the Cruiser in Europe

shame it’s being canned, best looking / best styled jimny reminds me of the pre ‘20 Defender. Noted about Yaris X, size wise and capabilities like the XP110 Urban Cruiser which never was a mainstream mass seller for Toyota at least in the UK making it less ubiquitous than its rivals at the time ie juke. However upon seeing this vehicle from Toyota/Lexus  group : 

grown on me more than Yaris X even though they both share same platform
