The Urban Cruiser is the second most popular Toyota car in India, ranking just behind the Innova duo. It is the first product that has been jointly engineered by Toyota and Maruti Suzuki, with its platform sourced from Suzuki, petrol and CNG powertrains from Suzuki as well, and the hybrid powertrains from Toyota.
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder boasts of immense reliability, thanks to both Toyota’s and Maruti Suzuki’s incredible engineering. The Hyryder is built on Suzuki's Global C platform, and gets the options for a Maruti Suzuki-sourced petrol engine and a Toyota-sourced hybrid setup.
Toyota owners in India swear by the after sales experience of Toyota, thanks to its affordable services, one hour turnaround time, and an overall hassle-free experience.
The Toyota Hyryder hybrid variants are priced lower than the Maruti Grand Vitara hybrid variants. This is because of the fact that the hybrid technology is owned by Toyota and it supplies the same to Maruti Suzuki.
The Toyota Hyryder petrol and Toyota Hyryder CNG variants feel underpowered as per the size of the car and when compared to other cars in the same segment like the Hyundai Creta and Skoda Kushaq.
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder lacks enough space in the second row. The boot space is also compromised due to the awkward placement of the battery pack in Hyryder hybrid variants.
As opposed to the hybrid variants, the Hyryder petrol and Hyryder CNG variants cost more than the Grand Vitara’s, due to the fact that the K15C engines are sourced from Maruti Suzuki.
