Urban Cruiser in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Urban Cruiser is a new-generation Malaysian launch rather than a facelift. The local car arrives as a CBU India model and a rebadged Suzuki eVitara, with the Malaysian range limited to the FWD version. The tax effect is a big part of the price story: Toyota’s Urban Cruiser and bZ4X cost much less in tax-free Langkawi.

Verdict
The Urban Cruiser finally gives Toyota Malaysia a B-segment EV SUV, but the numbers make it a harder sell than the badge might suggest. It is a rebadged Suzuki eVitara and costs RM10,000 more than the Suzuki’s starting price, while the Tesla Model Y starts below it. The core spec is clear enough — 426 km range and 172 hp — but taxes weigh heavily on the sticker.
