The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, which shares its underpinnings with the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, was launched in the Indian market last year at a starting price of Rs 10.48 lakh for the petrol and Rs 15.11 lakh for the hybrid version. Prices are ex-showroom. After a series of price revisions, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder currently retails between Rs 10.86 lakh and Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Ever since its launch in September 2022, the Hyryder has had a decent start, selling an average of around 3,200 units per month. According to market reports, the SUV commands a waiting period of up to 16 months in India. The Indian arm of the Japanese manufacturer offers the Hyryder in 4 variants – E, S, G, and V. That said, the hybrid variants have a 6- to 7-month waiting period, whereas the ICE (petrol) versions see a waiting period of 10 to 11 months from the day of booking. However, if you choose the CNG version, you will have to wait for about 16 months.
