What’s To Expect?
The Urban Cruiser EV is already on sale in global markets, which gives us an insight into what to expect from the Indian-spec. The Urban Cruiser EV uses the same platform as the e Vitara, and it shows. From the side profile, you would need a magnifying glass to spot the differences from the e Vitara, and the same goes for the rear, where you get connected LED taillights. However, the differences are more substantial in the front, where you get sleeker headlights and a revised front-end.
On the inside, the Urban Cruiser looks premium. As for the features, you get ventilated front seats, Level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, powered front seats, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, etc.

Expected Price
We expect the pricing range to start at Rs 19 lakh and go up to Rs 25 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai). This means that it would compete against the Creta electric and the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. Furthermore, the competition is also set to increase with the imminent launch of the Sierra EV.
