The Toyota Urban Cruiser is proving to be a big hit with a variety of South African car-buyers, offering excellent value for money and a surprisingly large cabin for the segment, as well as comprehensive list of standard safety- and convenience specifications. Give it some extra pizazz by fitting a few choice exterior accessories, like the ones we found on the Toyota SA website.
1. Towbar
A must-have if you'll be towing a trailer. Did you know that the Urban Cruiser has a towing capacity of 1100kg braked, and 400kg unbraked?
2. Front under run black inserts
Yet again, this is purely cosmetic, if you just want your Urban Cruiser to look a bit more interesting.
3. Bumper corner protectors: black
These corner protectors do double duty by also enhancing the Urban Cruiser's vulnerable edges.
4. Side skirts: Black and Silver
These side skirts that resemble scuff plates add extra visual interest and gives the Urban Cruiser a more outdoorsy demeanour.
5. Front bumper garnish: Silver
The front-end of your Urban Cruiser will look more menacing with this silver bumper garnish.
