Toyota Bags More Orders For Hyryder Hybrid Than Mild Hybrid Variants | V3Cars

The Toyota Hyryder is the newest C-segment SUV in the market and it has caught the eye of potential SUV buyers thanks to its very efficient hybrid drivetrain. When launched, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara are set to become the only hybrid SUVs in the market. The strong hybrid variants of both SUVs promise incredible fuel efficiency not only on the highway but also in the city. As a result, people have expressed interest in the strong hybrid powertrain of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder over the mid-hybrid option.

The 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol engine, on the other hand, produces 103PS of power and 137Nm of torque at 4400rpm. This engine comes with a choice of a 5-speed manual, 5-speed manual with 4-wheel-drive and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Toyota are likely to launch the Urban Cruiser Hyryder towards the end of August 2022. It will rival other C-segment SUVs in the market, such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
