Additionally, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is also expected to launch in May, entering the mass-market electric SUV segment. These upcoming models highlight a trend towards a broader range of options for buyers, encompassing electric, hybrid, and feature-rich conventional vehicles across various price points.
