The Toyota Urban Cruiser has become a popular offering in the Toyota model lineup, offering SUV-like properties while maintaining the convenience of a compact car. It's a great vehicle for those looking to step things up and graduate from a smaller hatchback. It gives you the space and visibility that one gets from an SUV but it's still easy to park and manoeuvre in and around parking lots.

It's no secret that the Toyota Urban Cruiser is some clever badge engineering. Both the first and second generations of the Urban Cruiser are based on Suzuki products, the first on the Vitara Brezza and the current generation on the Suzuki Grand Vitara. That's not a bad thing though, because Suzuki is known to be reliable, dependable and fuel-efficient.
To help your Toyota Urban Cruiser stand out from the rest, you may be interested in accessorizing your one, so we've created a list of 6 accessories that you could consider. What is covered under Toyota Urban Cruiser manufacturer car warranty?
1. Rubber coin-style boot mat
Stop your groceries from flying around with this boot mat. Its rubber construction makes it grippy and easy to clean. Also great for those who want to load their dogs with them and protect the carpet.
2. Tow bar
A tow bar will allow you to tow a trailer, expanding your loading capabilities. The Urban Cruiser is able to tow up to 400 kg unbraked, and 1 200 kg, perfect for a small trailer.
3. Safety film
Coating your windows in safety film ensures that the glass remains in place in the event of a breakage. It's an additional layer of protection from smash-and-grab attacks and should you opt for a tinted version, will help keep the car cool and your upholstery protected.
The Toyota offerings are somewhat limited from an official, approved standpoint, but to expand your choices, we hopped onto the Suzuki site to see what is on offer for the Grand Vitara. While not all the accessories will fit, because the front and rear of the Toyota is rather different, there are a few similarities that allow us to branch out.
4. Roof carrier
Another storage solution, this time for items like bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards and the likes. These roof racks will allow you to affix larger items on the roof of your vehicle, freeing up space inside as you go on your adventure.
5. Mirror garnish
Available in black or in a chrome finish, these mirror garnishes are aesthetic enhancements that can help create a unique look, one more befitting of your individual style.
6. Side skid plate and body moulding
Another cosmetic add-on, these side skid plates help protect your paint from scuffs and scratches while you venture off the beaten path. If you'll be using your Urban Cruiser on gravel roads, this is a great addition. The side body mouldings further safeguard your paint's finish. Available in black or chrome.
