The Urban Cruiser is, as the name implies, a city car designed by Toyota. It’s an SUV crossover of sorts, kind of like the Skoda Yeti and Nisan Qashqai though it’s not quite as big as either. It’s also not quite as good. It’s just a bit dull and contrived.
The Urban Cruiser is not a bad car. It just lacks sparkle and in a class with some real character cars that just won’t do. Still, it’s tough, reliable and unlikely to be a major hassle to own.
You can get a 4WD diesel version but, in the interests of common sense, go 2WD petrol. It’s usefully cheaper and much less complicated should it break.
The best bet is a 2WD petrol car with Toyota’s excellent 1.3 petrol unit.
Pay £8,300 for a 3 year old car with less than 30,000 on the clock.
Depreciation is heavy right off the bat with the petrol cars. Diesel cars hold value much better but they do cost a lot more. Buy diesel at 3 years if being prudent. Buy petrol if looking for a bargain to keep
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Toyota Urban Cruiser you would aim to buy a 4 year old and you can keep it for some time before needing to worry about a big drop in value.
Diesel Toyota Urban Cruiser cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Diesel Toyota Urban Cruiser cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Diesel Toyota Urban Cruiser cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
