The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder continues to strengthen its position in the compact SUV segment in 2025, with a design that feels grown-up, premium, and distinct. With a slim LED DRL setup, bold grille finished in piano black, and a wide chrome bar, the front-end commands presence. The body has balanced proportions, with strong character lines, roof rails, and stylish 17-inch alloy wheels. In terms of exterior appeal, the Hyryder blends Toyota’s global SUV language with Indian sensibilities quite effectively.
Two Engine Options: Mild Hybrid and Strong Hybrid
Toyota offers the Hyryder in two major powertrains: a 1.5L K-Series mild hybrid (sourced from Maruti) and the highlight a 1.5L TNGA Atkinson-cycle strong hybrid with e-CVT gearbox. The strong hybrid delivers a segment-leading mileage of up to 27.97 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in India. It runs silently in EV mode at low speeds and transitions smoothly to petrol mode, offering a refined city and highway experience. The mild-hybrid variant is available with manual and 6-speed automatic options and is a good value buy for those on a lower budget.
Spacious Cabin with Smart Features
Step inside and the Hyryder welcomes you with a dual-tone dashboard, soft-touch materials, and a 9-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It offers ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, cruise control, and connected car tech. The digital instrument cluster, head-up display, and rear AC vents enhance both driver and passenger comfort. Rear seat space is generous with good under-thigh support, though boot space in the strong hybrid is slightly compromised due to the battery (around 300L).
Ride Quality, Efficiency & Daily Usability
The Hyryder’s suspension is tuned for comfort, absorbing potholes and broken roads with ease. It’s not overtly sporty but offers stable, confident highway manners and a composed city ride. The strong hybrid is ideal for urban commuting, especially in stop-and-go traffic where the EV mode kicks in often, reducing fuel consumption. Toyota’s focus on refinement, light steering, and hybrid smoothness makes it one of the most relaxing SUVs to drive daily.
Toyota Reliability, Safety & Ownership Peace
Toyota backs the Hyryder with 8 years/1.6 lakh km warranty on the hybrid battery, making it a secure long-term investment. Safety-wise, it offers 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill-hold assist, TPMS, and ISOFIX across variants. Built on Suzuki’s Global-C platform, it inherits solid build quality and benefits from Toyota’s reliability promise and resale strength.
