Toyota is offering the most premium comforts of the SUV at a steep price point. We see if they’re worth it

The most expensive variant of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is the V Hybrid. It attracts a premium of Rs 1.5 lakh over the previous hybrid variant and offers all the premium comforts that can be had with the compact SUV. Let’s see if it is the variant you should go for.

Variant	Price (ex-showroom)
Hyryder V Hybrid	Rs 18.99 lakh

Why consider the V Hybrid variant?

The top-spec Toyota Hyryder compact SUV is the most feature-loaded experience you can have with a hybrid powertrain. It gets leatherette upholstery, a head-up display, wireless charging pad and ventilated front seats. This trim also adds a tyre pressure monitoring system and a 360-degree camera over the previous variant which already comes with a panoramic sunroof, LED lighting and the 9-inch infotainment touchscreen.

Here are the features on offer:

What’s missing in the Hyryder V Hybrid variant?

The top-spec Hyryder is fairly well equipped in terms of premium comforts but it could have offered more value for the price. In terms of features, it should have been equipped with a power-adjustable driver seat, which rivals like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos do offer. It could have also benefited with more visual distinctions over the mild-hybrid variant in terms of different alloy wheels or a unique paint option.

Toyota has also revealed the price for the Hyryder V with the mild-hybrid automatic powertrain. We can see when comparing the two variants with nearly all the same features that the strong hybrid technology attracts a premium of Rs 1.9 lakh. You will be able to recover the price difference over time thanks to the savings from the more efficient hybrid SUV, especially if you do most of your driving in city conditions.
