For you Oriana and everyone else

"The Toyota Urban Cruiser is one of the first of an expected flood of what are known in the industry as ‘B-Class SUVs’.

Based on a Yaris platform, the five-door Urban Cruiser does what it says on the tailgate, being ‘a fun to drive’ low-impact SUV, aimed at city and urban driving.

Despite being just 4m long, Toyota is promising space for five and ‘generous luggage space’. When it goes on sale in the UK ‘in the first half of next year’ all versions are expected to come in below the 140-g/km benchmark. There will also be a choice of front- and four-wheel drive.

Toyota sources say that the Urban Cruiser is a return to the inspiration of the original, early 1990s, three-door RAV4, which started the trend for compact urban-centric SUVs. A similar version of this car is already sold in the US under Toyota’s popular Scion ‘youth’ brand."

Thanks Fujisan i wonder if kingo has any specs or prices

[Plutus]

Wonder if it has run flats?

Wonder if it has run flats?

I hope not... :P

In all seriousness, Toyota do need to make a decision at some point. Either give more cars run flats to reduce the cost to us 'poor' T180 owners or send us all a can of tyre filler in the post!

I'm led to believe that the Urban Cruiser will be priced between the top end of the Yaris and lower end of the Rav 4 (run flats will be extra...)

No prices or specs at present, they wont be out until late this year, I have heard it rumoured that we will have a hybrid engine in this or something similar...........watch this space

Kingo
