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.

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
