Toyota has unveiled its first model for India, the Hyryder, in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki, with a starting price of Rs. 15.11 lakh.

The urban cruiser is available with one of two petrol engines: a 1.5-liter TNGA engine combined with a Toyota Hybrid System or a 1.5-liter K-series engine with the Maruti Suzuki Neo Drive (ISG).

The new SUV is available in four trim levels: E, S, G, and V.

Design

The Hyryder is available in both monotone and dual-tone color schemes. The SUV has two distinct grilles: the lower one is wide and trapezoidal (similar to the Raize), while the top grille has the brand emblem with chrome accents, which extends to the twin LED DRLs.

The SUV has an LED projector headlamp just below the DRLs. The vehicle's rear features a large chrome strip in the center flanked by C-shaped split LED tail lamps.

Interior

The Hyryder’s Neo drive models get an all-black cabin and the Hybrid models come with a dual-tone (black and brown) interior.

The five-seater SUV gets a reclining and folding rear seat that extends the vehicle’s boot space. 

On the dashboard is a 4.2-inch TFT color display for Neodrive variants, while the Hybrid variants get a larger 7-inch display.

The SUVs come with either a 7-inch or a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, depending on the variant.

Powertrain

Toyota designed the Hyryder's self-charging Hybrid variant, which is powered by a 1.5-liter TNGA engine with a Toyota Hybrid System (THS).

The engine alone can produce 91 horsepower and 122 Newton-meters of torque. Furthermore, it is coupled to a 59 kW motor that delivers a torque of 141 Nm, resulting in a combined power of 115 hp for the SUV.

The Neodrive variant is powered by Maruti Suzuki's 1.5-litre K-series mild-hybrid engine, which produces 100 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 135 Nm at 4000 rpm.

The engine is paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission. Only the top form of the Neodrive will be available with an all-wheel drive system.

Toyota had already sourced Baleno premium hatchback from Maruti Suzuki India, which is retailed as Glanza. 

The price of Toyota Urban Cruiser starts at Rs. 8.88 Lakh and goes up to Rs. 11.58 Lakh.

Toyota released a statement on Wednesday, confirming some of the details about this agreement. It says that both Suzuki and Daihatsu will own a 10 per cent stake in the joint venture, along with other stakeholders like Isuzu Motors. Toyota will keep the majority 60 per cent stake to itself.

Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corp is likely to enter the electric vehicle market in India by 2025, the company has entered a joint venture with Toyota Motor to produce EVs. Suzuki, along with Daihatsu, will join the commercial electric vehicle coalition led by Toyota to help the alliance expand its focus from trucks to smaller cars.

Akio Toyoda, President of Toyota Motor, said, "With Suzuki and Daihatsu joining the project and working together, we'll be able to expand our circle of cooperation to not only cover commercial vehicles but also mini vehicles. With this expansion, I believe that we'll be able to take one step closer to a better mobility society."

As part of the collaboration, Suzuki and Toyota will work towards small cars with advanced safety technologies and cooperate in the use of technologies for the electrification of affordable, high-quality small cars.

Suzuki, along with Daihatsu, will offer their expertise in small cars as one of the key challenges of bringing electrification and autonomous technology to such vehicles is keeping costs under control to make them affordable.

The agreement comes at a time when Japanese carmakers are facing tough challenges from rivals, even tech companies, who are venturing into the electric vehicle market.

Suzuki Motor will launch its first electric vehicle in India within the next four years. Suzuki's four-wheeler business, which operates in India in partnership with Maruti, is reportedly planning to launch an all-electric compact model for Indian customers. The electric car is likely to be priced in the range between INR 10 lakh -12 lakh.
