If one observes the electric models presented lately one after the other will find that what is missing is a really rugged SUV.
Toyota aspires to fill this gap with the Compact Cruiser EV, a first taste of which we got a few days ago at the group presentation of its electric prototypes.
Aesthetically reminiscent of the FJ-Cruiser with its characteristic appearanceWhile has all the elements that make an SUV visually capable at least beyond the asphalt. Elements such as increased ground clearance, aprons and plastic protectors as well as the several corners of the body, as well as the almost vertical windshield.
Thereafter The base of the Compact Cruiser will be Toyota's special E-TNGA electric propulsion frame, while in order to ensure four-wheel drive there will be one electric motor on each shaft. As for the autonomy at best will reach 600 kilometers.
The presentation of Toyota electric SUV with great off road capabilities is not expected to happen before 2025.
