The Toyota brand is synonymous with South African culture just like pap and boerewors.
If you ask most South Africans what their first preference is, in cars, most would say Toyota or Volkswagen.

Having said that, there are other major role players but the two giants have battled it out over the years.
From its stunning design to its impressive features, it quickly captured the hearts of many drivers seeking a ride that combines style with utility.
Powered by its reliable 1.5-liter engine, the Urban Cruiser delivers exceptional performance and fuel efficiency, making it a perfect fit for the South African landscape. Additionally, its spacious interior and modern technology features make it a comfortable and convenient car to drive.


From city streets to dirt roads, the Toyota Urban Cruiser has proven to be versatile and dependable. It has exceeded expectations with its exceptional performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. It quickly became a favourite among many car lovers who were looking for a reliable and versatile car to drive. “Building on the success of the outgoing model, the new model gives customers even more”, according to Toyota South Africa.
The new Urban Cruiser is a market leader in its segment, holding it down at 19% share. Built in India at one of Toyota’s largest plants, the Urban Cruiser meets the needs of everyone looking to buy an SUV without breaking their pocket. As an urban worrier, as Toyota SA often refers to the Urban Cruiser, it was fitting to have the event at Gorgeous George in the Cape Town City centre. A fitting venue indeed.
The Urban Cruiser has achieved great success in the South African market. Its innovative features and efficiency quickly made it one of the most popular cars on the road.
It has set itself apart from its competition, offering unmatched quality, reliability, and value for money. It’s no wonder that the Urban Cruiser has become a favourite among many car lovers, and it’s projected to remain so for a while to come. Even though this is not a premium SUV and makes no attempt to be but it comes kitted with some top safety features such as Vehicle Stability Control, and Hill Assist Control.
