Frequently asked questions
What are the Toyota Urban Cruiser and Zeekr X like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 178 miles for the Toyota Urban Cruiser and 171 miles for the Zeekr X - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Toyota Urban Cruiser and 20 in the Zeekr X, so the Zeekr X loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Toyota Urban Cruiser or the Zeekr X?
The Toyota Urban Cruiser is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 36 mm narrower than the Zeekr X. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 600 mm of total clearance for the Toyota Urban Cruiser and about 564 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr X. The Toyota Urban Cruiser also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Toyota Urban Cruiser or the Zeekr X?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Toyota Urban Cruiser and 90% for the Zeekr X. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
