The Toyota Hyryder would go on sale in India the following month and be available with both mild- and strong-hybrid powertrains.
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder was introduced by Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) a few weeks ago, and mass manufacturing will start in August 2022 before the vehicle is released to the market the same month. The Hyryder display units have already begun to arrive at dealerships around the nation. The midsize SUV is now accepting bookings, and its price is predicted to be competitive.
Toyota Hyryder: Expected Price and Rivals
There will be four different versions of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, each with a 1.5-liter K15C DualJet mild hybrid and a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle TNGA strong hybrid engine. While the self-charging strong hybrid will be sold in S, G, and V grades, the mild-hybrid (Neo Drive) models will be offered in E, S, G, and V variants.
Maruti Suzuki: Expected Price and Rivals
Maruti Suzuki substantially localized the K15C mild-hybrid unit, so we can anticipate that the Toyota Hyryder's entry-level costs will start at around Rs. 9.8-9.85 lakh (ex-showroom). It generates 101 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 135 Nm of peak torque at 4,400 rpm using the ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) technology. It is connected to a paddle-shifted six-speed AT or a five-speed MT.
Toyota Hyryder: Features and Specifications
The total power of the hybrid system is listed at 114 bhp, with the electric motor having an output of 79 bhp and 141 Nm. The powerful hybrid version that self-charges has an EV-only mode to increase fuel economy and guarantee low pollution regulations. Prices for the powerful hybrid versions might range from Rs. 14 lakh to Rs. 19.85 lakh (ex-showroom).
There will be four dual-tone color schemes and seven single-tone color schemes for the Hyryder. A nine-inch touchscreen, six airbags, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera system, a wireless charging pad, cruise control, reclining back seats, ambient lighting, and other amenities will be included in the list of features.
Due to its potential price increase to Rs. 15 lakh, it will be the sole powertrain offered with a first-in-segment all-wheel drive arrangement (ex-showroom). The 1.5-liter gasoline engine with THS is used in the segment's first powerful hybrid motor (Toyota Hybrid System). It has an electric drive gearbox. The gasoline engine generates 122 Nm of torque and 91 horsepower.
