The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder boasts an attractive exterior with split LED headlamps, gloss-black grille, honeycomb air dam, contrast-coloured front skid plate, black roof, dual-tone alloy wheels, and C-shaped LED tail lamps.

This, along with the soft-touch materials on the lower dashboard/door pads, plus the nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible) lend it an overall premium feel.

What are the engine, performance, and specifications of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder?

Powering the strong-hybrid self-charging electric version is the combination of a 1.5-litre 91bhp/122Nm petrol engine (with an e-drive transmission) and a 79bhp/141Nm electric motor that collectively pumps out a reasonable 114bhp. This drivetrain can even run in pure EV mode, thereby delivering substantially improved fuel economy with lower emission levels.

The Neo Drive iteration uses Suzuki’s 1.5-litre 102bhp/136Nm K-series petrol unit (with Integrated Starter Generator tech). Transmission duties are carried out by either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The CNG version is primarily based on this motor.
