Visit WebsiteIn December 2021, the Compact Cruiser concept won the 2022 Car Design Award for Concept Vehicles. Toyota has a history of capable off-road SUV’s from the FJ Cruiser to the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser. The automaker has promised a bundle of all-electric, new vehicles by 2030 and we have the inside scoop.
Toyota’s latest off-road inspired EV concept draws inspiration from the old luxury Land Cruiser and the adventure-ready FJ Cruiser. Keep reading to learn more about the recently revealed off-road EV concept.
The Off-Road EV Concept
Even though the FJ Cruiser hasn’t been sold since 2014, Toyota still plans on staying competitive within the off-road segment while the market transitions to electric vehicles. Thus, the Compact Cruiser EV concept was born. The Compact Cruiser will be a new model for Toyota when it launches with (presumably) a different name.
It’s expected the electric off-roader will share some suspension and powertrain components with other upcoming electric Toyotas. The instant torque generated from electric motors should make the Cruiser decently quick and adept at navigating rough terrain.
While nothing has been revealed yet about the electric powertrain, have no fear, the Compact Cruiser is off-road ready and adventurous. The concept is designed with 4 doors, a tall and boxy body, short front/rear overhangs and big fender flares. This off-road SUV looks properly prepared for the outdoor adventure with all-wheel drive and is fitted with a roof rack, skid plate, auxiliary lights and all-terrain tires.
The Compact Cruiser EV at Lia
Previewed by the Compact Cruiser EV, we’ll see a tough, electric SUV from Toyota in the coming years. When you might ask? We’re expecting the new EV SUV to start around $35,000 and arrive for the 2024 model year. We’ll know more about Toyota’s plans for trim levels and pricing as the on-sale date nears. Stay up to date with Lia Toyota in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. We hope you’re just as excited for Toyota’s next transitioning move as we are!
