Toyota has introduced a limited-run Aero Black Edition styling package for the Hyryder, priced at Rs 31,999. Available at the brand's dealerships, the new edition is offered only with the Midnight Black exterior shade on the G(O) and V petrol and strong-hybrid trims. The Hyryder's G(O) and V trims start at Rs 14.87 lakh and Rs 16.42 lakh, respectively, while adding the Aero Black Edition package takes their prices to Rs 15.19 lakh and Rs 16.74 lakh. Last year, the carmaker had introduced the Aero Edition styling kit for the Hyryder.
Toyota Hyryder Aero Black Edition details
The styling package blacks out several chrome elements on the exterior, including those around the headlights, on the front grille and on the tailgate. It also replaces the silver-finished trim on the lower section of the front bumper with black. An Aero Black Limited Edition badge is added as well, further setting it apart from the rest of the range.
Toyota Hyryder Aero Black Edition powertrains
Since this is just a cosmetic styling package, no mechanical changes have been made to the Hyryder. Depending on the trim, petrol, CNG and strong-hybrid powertrain options are on offer. The Hyryder's 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine develops 103hp and 137Nm, which can be paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission (MT) or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Also, both two- and four-wheel drive choices are on offer with this engine. With the CNG kit, power and torque outputs fall to 88hp and 121.5Nm, respectively (in CNG mode). The Hyryder CNG is offered solely with a 5MT unit.
Speaking of the strong-hybrid version, it features a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, both of which work together to produce 115hp. The e-motor sources power from a 0.60kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and transmission duties are handled by an eCVT unit, sending the drive to the front wheels only.
