Toyota Urban Cruiser

(Wed 05 Mar 08)

The successor to the discontinued three-door Toyota RAV4 is making its European debut at the Geneva Show this week.

Toyota Urban Cruiser 03.

As its name suggests, the five-seat Urban Cruiser is aimed, in Toyota's words, at "the urban all-road market". Don't expect to leave Land Rover Defenders in your wake as you storm across the Sahara, therefore, but do expect a certain amount of off-road ability thanks to the underbody protection, SUV-ish ride height and four-wheel drive.

Very few technical details have been confirmed at this stage, but Toyota says it expects the production Urban Cruiser to have CO2 emissions of less than 140g/km (a figure which itself represents Toyota's target average across its range by 2009).

The Urban Cruiser will go on sale in the UK in the first half of next year.
