Toyota will unveil the Hyryder on July 1, with the Maruti version following soon after. Toyota’s Hyryder will be powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid technology options. The mild-hybrid motor will have the segment’s first all-wheel-drive option, while the strong-hybrid power unit, which will include a powerful electric motor, will only drive the front wheels.
Toyota Hyryder- Powertrains
According to our sources, the 1.5-litre engine in these SUVs will be Maruti’s latest 1.5-litre K15C. The claim is justified, given that the mild hybrid power figures are the same as the Ertiga and XL6, and the strong hybrid figures are the same as the international-spec Vitara Hybrid.

The mild-hybrid engine will be available with a six-speed manual and a torque converter automatic transmission, while the more powerful mill will be available with a six-speed CVT. The styling of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder may be similar to that of the most recent crop of Toyota SUVs sold in international markets.
Toyota Hyryder- Features
To begin with, both SUVs will have distinct styling elements to give them distinct identities. However, they will not be as distinct as the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta. The interior will most likely include a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless charging, a semi-digital cluster, six airbags, automatic climate control, HUD, 360-degree camera, TPMS, and other features.
