Engine: Power and Efficiency in Harmony
The Hyryder offers a versatile engine lineup to suit different driving needs:
- Strong-Hybrid: Combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, allowing electric-only running at low speeds and excellent city fuel economy. Real-world owners often report figures above 20 km/l.
- Mild-Hybrid: Balances performance and economy and is available with both manual and automatic transmissions.
- AWD Option: Available on specific variants for extra traction and adventure-ready capability.
- CNG Variant: For those prioritising running-cost savings, a CNG option delivers very economical mileage.
Safety: A Shield of Confidence
Toyota equips the Hyryder with a strong safety package. Most notable:
- Six airbags as standard across variants.
- High-strength body structure designed to protect occupants.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill Hold Assist for improved control in tricky conditions.
Note: The model’s official Bharat NCAP rating may vary by model-year; check the latest safety rating if this is a key buying criterion.
Features: A Connected and Comfortable Cabin
The Hyryder’s cabin focuses on comfort and everyday practicality. Highlights include:
- Panoramic sunroof on higher variants for an airy feel.
- Ventilated front seats in premium variants — very useful in hot climates.
- Smart keyless entry and push-button start for convenience.
- Infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- 360-degree camera system for easy parking and manoeuvring.
Design: Bold and Street-Smart Styling
The Hyryder presents a confident road presence with a large chrome-accented grille, sleek LED headlamps with DRLs, muscular side character lines, roof rails, and body cladding that enhance its SUV look. The rear sports connected LED tail-lamps and a neat, modern layout. Overall, it looks premium without being flashy.
Space and Practicality: Comfort with a Compromise
Interior space is generous — both front and rear passengers enjoy good legroom and headroom, and seats are supportive for long journeys. However, boot space differs by powertrain:
- Strong-Hybrid: Boot capacity ≈ 265 litres (battery under the floor reduces usable space).
- Mild-Hybrid / Non-hybrid: Boot capacity ≈ 373 litres, more practical for luggage and family use.
Choose the variant that matches your luggage and family needs.
Price, EMI, and Mileage: The Cost of Smart Ownership
On-road price depends on city — for example, in Mumbai starting on-road price may be near ₹12.90 lakh for base variants. EMI examples shown above are illustrative; confirm exact EMI with your bank or lender using final on-road price, down payment and loan tenure.
Conclusion
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is a rational, well-balanced compact SUV that prioritises fuel efficiency, comfort and proven engineering. With multiple powertrain choices — strong-hybrid, mild-hybrid, AWD options and CNG — there’s a Hyryder variant for many buyer profiles. If long-term running cost and day-to-day practicality matter to you, the Hyryder is a compelling option to consider.
