Toyota recently unveiled the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. It is all set to launch in the coming months and will become the first strong hybrid SUV in the C-Segment. The MG Astor, on the other hand, is the latest offering from the Chinese-owned British carmaker.

We put the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder up against the MG Astor to tell you 7 features that are missing in the Hyryder but present in the Astor.

1. ADAS

The MG Astor is the only SUV in its segment to offer advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It features Level-2 ADAS, which offers functions like blind spot detection, lane keeping assist, auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and rear collision avoidance.

2. Turbo Petrol Engine

The MG Astor comes with a 1.3L turbo petrol engine. It produces 140PS of power and 220Nm of torque. It comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The Hyryder, on the other hand, comes with a 1.5L strong hybrid petrol engine mated to a single-speed transmission.

3. 10.1-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System

The MG Astor comes with a bigger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, over the 9.0-inch system found in the Hyryder. Both infotainment systems offer wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition to that, the Astor further offers third-party app support like Park+ and Jio Saavn.

4. 6-Way Power-Adjustable Driver’s Seat

MG offer the Astor with a 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. While it’s not as good as Hyundai Creta’s 8-way adjustable seat, it sits above the Hyrydyer which gets the old-school manual adjustment for the driver seat.

5. Rain-Sensing Wipers

The MG Astor also gets rain sensing wipers along with automatic headlamps. The Hyryder, on the other hand, only gets automatic headlights. It is worth nothing at the Hyryder comes with a split LED headlight layout whereas the Astor gets the conventional single-cluster unit.

6. Steering Modes

The Astor comes with steering modes and users can choose from normal, Urban and Dynamic modes. Meanwhile the Hyryder offers drive modes for the engine, which the Astor lacks.
