The budget crossover has experienced a substantial growth spurt over its predecessor
When the Suzuki Vitara Brezza and its Toyota Urban Cruiser twin were launched in SA in 2021 the two compact crossovers became instant sales hits due to their good practicality and keen pricing.
There’s more car for the money as the Urban Cruiser has experienced a substantial growth spurt over its predecessor, stretched in length from 3,995mm to 4,365mm. It hasn’t affected passenger space inside the cabin too much as the old car had impressive head- and legroom, but the boot has grown from 328including a full-sized spare wheel.
With the seats folded the Urban Cruiser is now able to swallow a fully-assembled bicycle. Picture: DENIS DROPPA The interior is made to a budget-focused price so the dashboard does not have the soft-touch coating of more expensive cars, but the hard plastic is nicely textured and does not look cheap. The cabin finishes are neat, and the diamond-patterned cloth covering on the seats also has a touch of class.
This is not to say the Urban Cruiser XR is underendowed. Its niceties include a reversing camera, push-button start, cruise control, automatic air conditioning, electric windows, a sliding front armrest, rear air vents and a 7-inch infotainment system that is Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay enabled.
