Toyota has made a strong statement in the mid-range SUV segment with the launch of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, India’s first mass-market strong hybrid SUV. Offering a unique blend of fuel efficiency, smart features, and premium design, the Hyryder rivals models like the Maruti Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Honda Elevate.
Two Powertrain Options – Neo Drive & Strong Hybrid
Toyota Hyryder is available in two engine options. The first is the 1.5L Neo Drive petrol engine with a mild hybrid system. The second and most talked-about variant features a 1.5L TNGA Atkinson-cycle engine paired with a strong hybrid motor. This powerful hybrid setup delivers an impressive mileage of up to 27.97 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class.
Feature-Rich Cabin With Premium Touch
Inside, the Hyryder boasts a spacious and luxurious cabin with features like a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, leather-finished dashboard, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, TPMS, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, six airbags, and a 360-degree camera. Everything feels plush and practical, catering to both family and tech-savvy buyers.
EV Mode, eCVT & Silent Drive in Hybrid Variant
One of the highlights of the strong hybrid model is its ability to run on pure EV mode at low speeds, offering a quiet, seamless drive. Paired with an e-CVT gearbox, it ensures a smooth and efficient driving experience, especially in urban traffic. The system automatically switches between electric, hybrid, and petrol modes based on speed and terrain.
AWD Option and 210mm Ground Clearance
The Neo Drive variant comes with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option, ideal for off-road or challenging road conditions. Coupled with a high ground clearance of 210mm, the Hyryder handles city roads, highways, and uneven terrain with equal confidence.
Variants and Pricing in India
The Toyota Hyryder is priced between ₹11.14 lakh and ₹20.19 lakh (ex-showroom). It is available in 13 variants, including mild hybrid, strong hybrid, and AWD trims. This wide range allows buyers to choose based on fuel preferences, budget, and driving needs.
Conclusion: If you’re looking for a smart, efficient, and future-ready SUV that blends fuel economy with luxury and modern features, the Toyota Hyryder is an unbeatable choice. With its hybrid powertrain, premium looks, and Toyota’s trusted engineering, it stands out as a long-term value SUV in the Indian market.
