Toyota Urban Cruiser

Ride Comfort: The car feels very stable at high speeds, which gives you a real sense of safety — especially thanks to the solid chassis. However, the seats are a bit firm, and on long trips, they can start to get uncomfortable. Fuel Range: On a full tank, I’ve managed around 650 km on the highway. In summer, or when the car is fully loaded with the A/C running, that drops to about 500 km. In the city, I usually get around 400 km per tank. With current fuel prices (I always fill up with 95), it basically costs me around AED 1 per kilometer. Performance: This is the part I really want to talk about — and complain a bit. With ECO mode turned off, the initial power off the line is decent, but that’s about it. Once you get moving, the car starts to feel like it’s struggling — like a small engine pulling a heavy body. If you don’t mind the loud engine noise, you might get a bit of excitement, but realistically, you’re running close to 4000 RPM for that. Overtaking at 120 km/h is tough; the acceleration just doesn’t keep up, and it feels risky. That said, I have to give credit to the car’s off-road capabilities — it handles rough or muddy roads surprisingly well and won’t leave you stuck.
