Toyota urban hyryder

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Maruti Grand Vitara are byproducts of Toyota’s and Suzuki’s global alliance to share technology and models. Co-developed by Toyota, a pioneer in hybrid tech, and Maruti, the master of frugal engineering, these midsize SUVs rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and MG Astor. The focus of this story is the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and its talking point is its hybrid powertrain, which buyers are taking a liking to, particularly for its tall fuel efficiency number. In addition, it also gets a mild-hybrid engine with manual and automatic transmissions, as well as an all-wheel drive variant to appeal to a wider audience. When we drove it back in September last year, it impressed us with its well-roundedness. We now evaluate it with a fine-tooth comb to see whether this Toyota has what it takes to become a segment leader.

The Urban Cruiser Hyryder is Toyota’s first foray into the mid-size SUV segment, and has been co-developed with Maruti Suzuki, which also has a sister model called the Grand Vitara. The Urban Cruiser Hyryder is powered by hybrid-only petrol engines – there is a 1.5-litre petrol mild-hybrid sourced from Maruti and Toyota’s own 1.5-litre petrol strong-hybrid. The petrol mild-hybrid engine, in manual guise, also gets an all-wheel drive option. The strong-hybrid engine only comes mated to an e-CVT transmission. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Nissan Kicks and MG Astor; and the Grand Vitara as well, of course. Toyota might be late to the midsize SUV bandwagon, but it has come all guns blazing with the Hyryder. It looks modern and exudes a rugged appeal, and it also gets the basics right with a well-judged ride and handling balance. The Toyota Hyryder's interior looks upmarket, the seats are comfortable, and its equipment list is generous. The ace up its sleeve is its strong hybrid powertrain which is smooth and is very efficient in the real world. Sure, performance isn’t as strong as its turbo-petrol rivals and its boot is quite small, but in every other area, the Hyryder comes across as a well-rounded practical SUV. Plus, the lure of the Toyota badge w...

• Urban Cruiser Hyryder is Toyota’s Creta rival • Will come with two 1.5-litre petrol engine options • One engine will be full-hybrid while the other will be mild-hybrid Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder: will be feature-laden Ahead of its global debut, details of the new midsize SUV from Toyota have begun to trickle in. Sources tell us that Toyota will expand the What we can also confirm is that the upcoming Toyota Hyryder will get two engine options, both expected to be 1.5-litre petrol units. A mild-hybrid set-up is expected for the lower variants, while the higher variants could get a full hybrid set-up. The full hybrid version of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder will come with Toyota’s hybrid system similar to the ones seen on the Prius and As mentioned above, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder’s However, it remains to be seen to what extent Toyota's highly fuel efficient full-hybrid compensates for the lack of a diesel engine in its midsize SUV line-up, which is something the segment leaders have.

Driving the Urban Cruiser Hyryder 1.5L Hybrid Toyota's focus was on the hybrid. Hence, it had only that engine option for us to drive. The hybrid powertrain consists of a 3-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine with an output of 91 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 122 Nm @ 4,400 rpm. This petrol engine is coupled with an electric motor that puts out 79 BHP and 141 Nm. The combined power output available at the wheels is 114 BHP. The figures aren't impressive when compared to the turbo petrol engines used by the Koreans and Europeans and that is reflected out on the road as well. The USP of the hybrid is fuel efficiency and not performance. There is a 0.76 kWh battery in the boot that powers the electric motors and is responsible for the drive to the wheels in hybrid mode. The battery specifications are very similar to the Honda City Hybrid, which means you can't really use the Hyryder in EV mode for more than a couple of minutes before the internal combustion engine kicks in to assist. Surprisingly, the Hyryder uses a Li-ion battery vs the Camry which gets a Ni-Mh unit. Li-ion batteries are superior and have a longer life than Ni-Mh batteries. The Hyryder, unlike the City Hybrid, uses a more conventional hybrid system using a power split device as well as an e-CVT transmission that combines the power from the petrol and electric motors. There is no clever drive lock system like in the City here. As a result, the Hyryder feels like a regular CVT to drive with some correlation between speed a...

The outgoing Toyota Urban Cruiser will be replaced by the larger Hyryder in South Africa, though it won’t wear that badge in the local market. Here’s a look at what we can expect… Toyota has finally confirmed our suspicions that the Hyryder is coming to South Africa, announcing the latest Indian-built crossover will replace the outgoing Urban Cruiser (and indeed inherit its predecessor’s name) in the local market.

The new vehicle was displayed on stage at the event, where Toyota SA Motors also revealed its The Hyryder will be badged simply as the new “Urban Cruiser” in South Africa, despite the fact it’s considerably larger than its forebear (and wears the Hyryder suffix in India). Toyota SA Motors plans to release the fresh-faced model in the 2nd quarter of 2023. As a reminder, news of the Urban Cruiser’s As we pointed out in our Family clash? You may be wondering where the popular Toyota Corolla Cross fits into the scheme of things and at face value, you may think the two products are potentially rivals. Expected pricing suggests otherwise. MORE: At the time of writing (February 2023), the locally built Corolla Cross range started from R371 200, while the outgoing Toyota Urban Cruiser retailed for just R283 200.
