Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyrider – Global Inspired Suv

Toyota has unveiled and launched the all new generation of Toyota urban cruiser , and we had reviewed the same . The new generation of Urban Cruiser looks completely different unlike the brezza and the previous gen urban cruiser which was nothing but a rebadged Brezza . Right from the looks to the engine , everything is done by Toyota itself .

As i mentioned earlier the urban cruiser is completely different in terms of design and looks , you can see you get a completely refrshed front facia where you get the newer set of led drls with led projector headlamps .Honestly speaking it looks some what similar to Toyota’s global SUV like the RAVA 4 , CHR and other suv’s .In the upper middle you get a carbon finish panel which gives a more of a 3d pattern with the chrome insert as well . Downwards you get the bigger honey comb style grille where the front camera has been positioned and of course you also get the side view mirror and rear camera making it a 360 degree view camera set up , well this thing has now become common in many cars .well you get the newer bigger 17 inch set of diamond cut alloy wheels with black colured cladding all over giving a more robust and suvish look instead of the fender , HYBRID badging has been given on the front doors with little S in bluish colour which kind of mixes with the colour that i have reviewed .

while we have talked about newly refreshed front , you also get a newly refreshed rear profile too which in my opinion is almost similar to Rava 4 and CHR , you get the sharp led taillamps similar to Glanza and Baleno (newer generation ) . Right in the middle of the tailights you get the floating chrome finish design which has further enhanced the look which looks attractive too and in my opinon looks modern too and on the rear bumpers you get the ice cubed shaped reflectors with the indicators which is in a single panel which is little bit tilted out making it good looking . Just below the toyota logo you get the grab handle with button a for opening the boot ,besides it you get rear view camera but unfortunately it is not a powered the tailgate .downward you get the grey finish skid plates .

Interior also looks quite premium with the dual tone interiors , well you get the similar steering wheel as seen in Glanza ,with steering mounted controls , bluetooth connectivity phone connectivity and also now cruise contol has also been added . dual-tone interior gets padded leather on the dash looking upmarket, with some chrome and soft touch materials running on the door pads as well .The theme used by Toyota is similar to the latest trendy suv’s like Jeep Meridian , where Full Hybrid is available in the dual tone and mild hybrid in Full black .Auto climate control AC is also offered and some elements like the AC vents and the screen which is 9 inch infotainment screen will be shared among both Maruti Suzuki and Toyota which they have developed together . Unlike the Brezza you get the full Panoramic sunroof , wireless charging and ventilated seats too and heads up display of course how can we miss that but unfortunately you need to access it manually via a button unlike the other hybrid cars from Toyota like Camary .Along with it the Hyrider is a well connected car tech

while talking about the leg space , well there is no issue in the leg space and also in Head room , just for reference i a m 5.7 and i was able to sit in comfortably also a taller person than me too sat in comfortably but one thing that i did not like is the manual seat adjustment , even there is a quite good space in 2 row ,and it is even roomier for 3 people in the 2 row . you do get the 60:40 split seating with armrest . Boot space is too good you get the battery placed in the boot which is little bit lifted . Also you get a tray and for the protection of battery too you get a kind of small tray so if you look it makes 3 spaces 1 in lower end

Hyryder is the first midsize SUV in India to come with strong hybrid technology which gets the Toyota’s e-CVT Auto gearbox , , Toyota Hyryder is paired with a 177.6V lithium-ion battery.
