Toyota's Urban Cruiser announced ahead of Geneva
Having pushed its new RAV4 way up market with an optional third-row seat and available 269-hp V6, it appears Toyota is testing the design waters for a smaller softroader in Europe that could take the RAV4’s old entry level spot. The Urban Cruiser (as opposed to Land Cruiser) certainly looks capable of traversing deep city potholes with aplomb and maintaining traction in even the harshest of drizzles.
The only other thing we can tell you about this Geneva-bound concept is what Toyota has told us: “The Urban Cruiser also features a fresh interior style inspired by trendy furniture.” We’ll have to wait until we’re at the Geneva show in person to snap a few interior pics
