Toyota had launched the Urban Cruiser Hyryder mid-sized SUV in the country in September 2022. Not just Hyryder, Toyota had introduced the new Innova Hycross MPV in January 2023. Both models come with petrol and petrol hybrid powertrains. Based on the Suzuki’s Global-C platform, the Toyota Hyryder mid-sized SUV also comes with Suzuki’s CNG powertrain.
Both models are on high demand and attract a very long waiting duration for delivery. The Innova Hycross is claimed to have a waiting period of around 26 months (that’s over 2 years). On the other hand, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes with a waiting period of up to 20 months. The petrol version of the SUV has a waiting period of up to seven months. On the other hand, the hybrid variant’s waiting period increases to 20 months from the day of booking. Toyota’s recently launched Innova Crysta diesel also commands a long waiting period of around 16 weeks.
The hybrid version of the Toyota Hyryder is powered by a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder TNGA Atkinson cycle engine that produces 92bhp and 122Nm of torque, and is paired to an eCVT gearbox. The electric motor is rated at 79bhp and 141Nm of torque, and the combined power output stands at 114bhp. It is fitted with a 0.76kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It is claimed to offer a fuel efficiency of 27.97kmpl.
The regular version features a 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine that powers the Brezza and the Grand Vitara. This engine churns out 103PS and 137Nm of torque. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic. The top-spec manual version also comes with AWD (All-Wheel-Drive) system. The Hyryder manual is claimed to return a fuel efficiency of 21.11kmpl, while the AWD version returns 19.38kmpl.
