My colleague purchased the Hyryder a month ago and shares similar feedback. It offers good mileage and features like stop and auto start. However, Suzuki's service is more available compared to Toyota.

1. Sudden break and u cross a speed breaker car jerks three four times 2. Rattling sound in cabin was caused by my sun glasses kept in overhead storage (writing this to help others) 3. Super mileage 21_23 highways and city is same surprisingly 4. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOESN'T RETRACT FULLY AND THE BUCKLE TOUCHES THE CENTRE PART OF THE CAR COLUMN AND RATTLES IN ILDE CONDITIONS MAKING TOO MICH NOISE. SO HAVE TO KEEP IT BUCKLED ALWAYS EVEN WHEN DRIVING ALONE. EVEN THE SERVICE CENTRE GAVE UP.

Hi I am sharing my experience about my hyryder car , the car is good. But my humble request to the toyota company is improve the build quality . My side build quality point is 1. Don't buy this car when you are planning to purchase above 15 to 20 lakh rupees car. My suggestion is go with tata harrier or creta even breeza is having good build quality. But hyryder is not upto the mark. Overall rating for build quality is 1/5. So please guys do check before taking hyryder or grand vitara

I own a 2025 Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder automatic with 15000km. The vehicle is smooth but lacks pickup even though it is a 1.5 litre engine. Also, I switch off the automatic idle engine running at stops as it gives a jerk when it is on.

I am currently using a Hyundai Grand i10 2015 model. I am planning to buy a new car, but I am confused between the Kia Seltos HTK(O) AT Diesel and the Toyota Hyryder Strong Hybrid G variant. My budget is around Rs. 20 lakh. My daily driving is approximately 75-80 km, with a mix of city and highway usage. Please help me decide which option would be better.

For your usage, the Kia Seltos diesel AT is a strong fit. With 75-80km a day and a mix of city and highway driving, the diesel will be economical to run, and the automatic will make city driving stress-free. Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder only if the majority of your driving is in slow-moving city traffic, where it can run in EV mode and save a lot of fuel.The Kia Seltos diesel AT suits long, fast highway runs better. It feels stronger during quick overtakes, has a much bigger boot, and offers a more modern interior.It all boils down to your usage split. If your daily route involves a lot of traffic lights, congestion and urban speeds, the Hyryder will save you more money each month and feel easier to live with. But if your driving is a mix of highway and city use, the Kia Seltos is the better choice overall.

I want to buy a family SUV, preferably diesel/ hybrid. I have a daily run of 150-200 km. Currently, I have a diesel Altroz. Best option for me at a 20 lakh budget. And is the Kia Seltos GTX(O) version coming any time soon?

Autocar India

With a daily running of 150-200km, a strong hybrid makes the most sense. Within your budget, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid or the Toyota Hyryder Strong Hybrid would be the top recommendations.Both deliver excellent real-world fuel efficiency, often exceeding 20kpl even in city conditions, while offering the convenience of a petrol powertrain and lower maintenance concerns compared to modern diesels. For high-mileage users, the fuel savings can be substantial over time.While the diesel Kia Seltos remains a capable SUV, modern diesels are not quite as efficient as they once were due to stricter emissions equipment. This is especially true in automatic variants, where the torque converter gearbox further reduces the efficiency advantage over hybrids.As for the Seltos GTX(O), there is currently no confirmation of a new GTX(O) variant arriving in the immediate future.

Did I make a good choice by buying the Hyryder V MT after selling my 2017 XUV500 W10 MT? My priorities were brand reputation, engine reliability, and decent mileage in a 5-seater, all within a Rs 16 lakh on-road (CSD) budget. Was this a good replacement?

Autocar India

Yes, we would say you made a very sensible choice, especially considering the priorities you had laid out. The XUV500 W10 was a large SUV with strong performance and road presence, but by today's standards, it was beginning to show its age in terms of refinement, fuel efficiency and overall ownership experience. Since your priorities were brand reputation, reliability, fuel efficiency, and a practical 5-seater under Rs 16 lakh on-road through CSD, the Toyoat Urban Cruiser Hyryder V MT fits the brief extremely well.The biggest gain is in running costs and peace of mind. The Toyota badge, proven naturally aspirated petrol engine and excellent fuel efficiency make it the kind of car you can own for a decade without losing sleep. It is also easier to drive, more refined in everyday use and should prove significantly cheaper to run than the old XUV500.The only area where you may feel you have taken a step back is performance and the outright SUV feel. The XUV500's diesel engine had effortless performance and a sense of occasion that the Hyryder's naturally aspirated petrol cannot match. If you enjoy spirited driving, you will notice that difference.However, judging the purchase against the priorities you listed rather than against nostalgia for the XUV500, you absolutely made the right decision.

Which hybrid vehicle would be a better choice for long-term ownership: the Toyota Hyryder, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara or Maruti Suzuki Victoris?

Autocar India

•1w

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara as well as the Victoris all share the same Toyota hybrid system and battery and are thus essentially the same when it comes to long term use. Both brands are also very well established with a service network - Maruti even more so. Thus, among these cars, pick the one that you prefer or are getting a better value deal. In terms of long term, we would lean towards Maruti cars. Thanks to the brand's better network and brand strength across the country, Maruti tends to hold its value very well and is a bit of an easier sell too, which helps when its time to sell your car.

I own a Grande Punto MJD 2012 Dynamic and am planning to upgrade. Don't want to go for pure ICE cars. Hence, I am left with a few options, and I am inclined towards Toyota. However, they don't have any Hybrids (own badge) in that segment. Thought they would launch Corolla Sedan or Cross with Hybrid engines. Hence, I am now left with the Honda City Hybrid in the upgrade space. Or I need to go for a higher budget Innova Hycross or UC Hyryder (which I am in dilemma). What would be your suggestion? Will Toyota launch the Corolla Cross surprisingly in the Indian Market, or go with the currently available Hybrid models?

Given your situation, we wouldn't wait for a Toyota Corolla or Corolla Cross Hybrid. While Toyota is evaluating additional hybrid models for India, neither appears likely to arrive anytime soon.Among the cars available today, the Honda City e:HEV is a very compelling option. Its hybrid system is proven, fuel efficiency is excellent, and the driving experience is more refined than most strong hybrids in its price range. If you enjoy sedans and don't specifically need SUV-like ground clearance, it remains one of the best hybrid packages on sale today.If you want an SUV, the decision comes down to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid and stretching your budget for the Innova Hycross Hybrid. The Hyryder is efficient, reliable and easy to recommend, but if your hesitation is that it feels too closely related to a Maruti product, that perception is unlikely to change after purchase. The Hycross, on the other hand, feels like a more substantial upgrade and offers significantly more space, comfort and road presence.
