Toyota’s much-awaited Urban Cruiser Hyryder is all set to enter the Indian market on August 16th, 2022. The brand revealed the midsize SUV a few weeks back and witnessed great interest from the audience. The upcoming car will be produced in the same Bidadi, Karnataka plant where the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is going to be developed under the Toyota-Maruti collaboration. The booking process for the new Hyryder has already started with an initial amount of Rs. 25,000.
The automaker has announced that the Urban Cruiser Hyryder will be available in four trim levels: E, S, G, and V. The top three types will have a powerful hybrid powertrain, while the remainder will have a moderate hybrid arrangement. The powerful hybrid technology features a 115bhp 1.5L TNGA Atkinson Cycle petrol engine and a 177.6V lithium-ion battery with Toyota’s e-drive system.
The mild hybrid powertrain, dubbed Neo Drive, is powered by Maruti Suzuki’s 1.5L K15C petrol engine with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). This engine is designed to belt out 91 bhp and 122 Nm of torque. This powertrain is available with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. As far as the colour options go, the midsize SUV will be offered in a variety of seven monotones and four dual-tone shades.
The top-tier V variant specification includes leatherette seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, an Arkamys surround sound system, hill descent control, driving modes, and roof rails. Other key features of the 2022 Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder comprise a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen system, HUD, a layered dashboard, wireless charging, automatic climate control and more.
In addition, the safety front of the car is covered with six airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree view camera, cruise control, hill hold control, rear parking sensors, and a tyre pressure monitoring system, to name a few.
