Toyota Hyryder CNG Snapped At A Dealer Stockyard

The model pictured was the entry-level S trim in the SUV’s CNG lineup

• Toyota offers the Hyryder’s mid-spec S and G trims with the CNG kit option.

• They command a premium of Rs 95,000 over their petrol-only counterparts.

• Its boot looks usable for carrying a couple medium-sized suitcases and soft bags.

• Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine, making 88PS/121.5Nm in CNG mode.

After its Maruti counterpart, the Grand Vitara, got the CNG option, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder went the alternative fuel route too, i.e., towards the end of January 2023. The CNG-kit-equipped SUV has now arrived at dealer stockyards and we have a few images of the same.

In the images, you can see that the SUV has the ‘CNG’ sticker on both the front and rear windshields. The CNG reservoir in its boot is located deep inside and comes with a fabric covering, with a panel over it to stack light-weight items. Unlike hatchbacks with the alternative fuel option that don’t have much boot space on offer, the Hyryder CNG’s storage area will come in handy for stowing a couple of medium-sized suitcases.
