New Toyota Urban Cruiser

Toyota has unveiled the Toyota Urban Cruiser at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. The Toyota Urban Cruiser is essentially the Japanese market Toyota ist, which is in turn a restyled version of the American market Scion xD.

So we have the Urban Cruiser for Europe, the ist for Japan and the xD for the USA. Toyota says the Toyota Urban Cruiser was developed to fill up the void that the discontinued three-door version of the Toyota RAV4 left behind.

More angles after the jump.

    In order for this car to rebadge as perodua, it must be rebadge as daihatsu first. A cross-over hatch is nice if perodua can badge this one.

    Im gona try my hand at mindless rumour-mongering here….

    “this car, will be the Myvi replacement model, to be launced middle of next year. This is because Toyota got links with Perodua. They will sell it using P2′s badge, so it can be priced at under RM90k. I know, because my sister’s husband’s father’s brother’s son works for P2.”

    Heh… :-P

    it is common for SUV and MPV there to have darker rear window. so this is the new RAV4 replacement..

    if,perodua rebadge it ,i don’t think the price will be like 80~90k
    the first generation just sell for 90k with a toyota badge

    In europe, they have an option when buying the car which they call privacy glass.
    Not only on SUVs and MPVs. they have it on Sedans, Hatches, etc. etc.

    Car Mfg really like to make SUV and hope its a growing trend. There’s not much technical requirement in an SUV. All you do when you select an SUV is to see how the interior feels. Nobody talks about fuel consumption or even how it handles around the bend. Just as long as it feels nice. They can charge you a lot for perceived value. Hell it doesn’t even have to look nice at all.
