Let's take a closer look at what we know about this new model so far.The Compact Cruiser EV will feature a striking Toyota brand on the grille, flanked by round headlights with horizontal turn signals on the outside.
It is also inspired by the first-generation Toyota Land Cruiser, although it appears to be much smaller. The vehicle will offer customers the choice between a single 150 kW electric motor that produces 201 horsepower or two 80 kW motors, increasing power to 215 horsepower. Although Toyota may not recover the exact name of the FJ Cruiser model in the near future, brand executives have strongly implied that a new small SUV oriented to the off-road will appear in the coming years. If you end up buying one, rest assured that Toyota is still providing FJ Cruiser service at its Toyota service centers.
