It is the most affordable strong hybrid offering in the country, but is it the right one to get? We find out

Toyota is offering its strong hybrid powertrain from the one-above-base variant for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. This makes the S Hybrid the most affordable self-charging hybrid model in India and the entry level for electrified fuel efficiency. But is it the right variant for you? Let’s find out.

Hyryder S Hybrid	Rs 15.11 lakh
Hyryder G Hybrid	Rs 17.49 lakh
Difference	Rs 2.38 lakh

Why consider the S Hybrid variant?

As the entry-level strong hybrid SUV, it has a strong appeal for those looking to experience the new powertrain technology and its economic benefits for well under Rs 20 lakh on-road. The Hyryder S does not offer any premium equipment, but it does cover the basics with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a digital driver’s display, cruise control, front and rear armrests and a rear parking camera.

Here are the features on offer:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Highlights	Bi-halogen projector headlamps LED DRLs LED taillamps ORVM with turn indicator Steel wheel with caps Sharkfin antenna	Dual-tone black and brown interior Front sliding armrest Driver seat height adjust 60:40 split fold rear seats Recline rear seats Rear centre armrest with cupholders Adjustable headrests	Auto AC with rear vents USB ports front and rear (1 & 2) Cruise control Keyless entry Power folding ORVMs	7-inch infotainment touchscreen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 7-inch TFT driver’s display 4-speakers	Dual front airbags Rear parking camera with sensors ISOFIX anchorage ABS with EBD VSC Hill hold control Manual IRVM
Upgrade to G Hybrid if you want	LED auto headlamps Rear window wiper and washer Alloy wheels	Ambient lighting Soft touch materials Luggage and glovebox lamp	Auto folding ORVMs Panoramic sunroof Head-up display	9-inch infotainment touchscreen Arkamys sound tuning	Side and curtain airbags Auto IRVM

Why skip the S Hybrid variant?

The Hyryder S charges a hefty premium for its powertrain in comparison to non-hybrid petrol engines from its rivals, but does not offer much in terms of premium comforts that are available in the higher variants. It also misses out on important equipment like rear wiper and washer as well as feel-good features such as LED headlamps, alloy wheels and a larger central display.

For a detailed insight for each strong hybrid variant of the Toyota Hyryder, just click on the desired variant name.

S Hybrid	Consider it for a strong hybrid option on a tight budget.
G Hybrid	Our recommended variant as it offers enough value and premium comforts for the price.
V Hybrid	Only consider if you want the fully-loaded premium experience of the Toyota Hyryder SUV.
