The 2025 Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder has been given a couple of crucial updates and is now an even better bet in India's very competitive SUV market. Even if the launch price is Rs 20,000 more, fresh new features and upgrades may make it even more user-friendly and even safer to drive on the road. Take a look at what is new in the new Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
The body of the 2025 Urban Cruiser Hyryder is just the same as before. The SUV also has the same seven individual-tone body colors. There are four with a black roof to complement the dual-tone color.
The SUV keeps the same old face, with LED lights and 17-inch alloy wheels. The interior also keeps the dual-tone brown and black look, providing it with a feel touch to the luxury class.
The most important updates are features and technology. The 2025 has a newly upgraded speedometer that is easier for the human eye to read. The vehicle also has an 8-way power driver seat, rear door sunshades, 15-watt Type-C fast-charge USB charging ports, and a reading display air quality index. The vehicle also has an optional LED reading and spotlights for all trims.
The 2025 Urban Cruiser Hyryder is becoming safer with additional safety features being added. The vehicle has six airbags as a standard fitment across all versions, thereby making the occupants safe. The SUV also receives an electronic park brake with an auto hold facility feature, which is fitted only on automatics. The mid trims have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which alerts the users about the condition of the tires during transportation.
The most significant change is in the powertrain. The AWD variants of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder now receive a 6-speed automatic instead of the older 5-speed manual. All the other engine variants, such as mild hybrid, strong hybrid, and petrol-CNG, are unchanged. Here is the list of engines:
These engines produce the following power and torque output:
Petrol-CNG: 88 PS and 121.5 Nm torque
Even the 2025 Urban Cruiser Hyryder got a price increase in name only to the tune of Rs 20,000. The base model now comes for Rs 11.34 lakh (ex-showroom), which was the price of the now-discontinued Rs 11.14 lakh. Still, a time before prices of the entire line-up would be revised.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is a competitor to some of the best-selling SUVs in India, such as Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and MG Astor.
Toyota has already sold over 1 lakh units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder until now. With these new models, Toyota is also expecting to make the SUV even more popular among buyers. Whether or not the models will be able to make it even more popular in the highly competitive SUV market is yet to be seen.
