Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder User Reviews

At the show room where I purchased - Nippon Toyota Thiruvalla, Kerala, the sales people have a bad attitude (Take it or leave it) and on top of that gave false information about registration, insurance etc. The showroom seems to be just riding the Toyota fame, and runs this showroom like a government office. Coming to the car, It has poor pickup, and power for the size and weight. For this money you will be better of getting a diesel automatic, if you want the Mileage, Experience and the satisfaction of driving! This hybrid car will only give the regular Petrol car mileage - 13 KMPL, if you drive it as an enthusiast. To get a mileage > 20 KMPL, you need to be over-conscious and meticulous like a machine - gradual acceleration, slow braking for the regenerative action to kick-in, and drive this car below 80 KM/Hr at all times. I felt this car is grossly under-powered and lacks any punch. This car has a poor body shape. I bought it for the Mileage promise and family preference. The parts of this car feels like a cheap car, the cabin is noisy from the under-powered 3 cylinder engine, squeeky plastic parts - especially if your leg hits the middle partition - plastics. This feels a lot like a lower-end Maruti car. Not what you pay 25 Lakh Rupees. The service has been okay till now. But they keep increasing the part in weeks time and charge you the new rates! like its gold. Overall, the only Pro I find in this car is, it forces you to not commit any petty traffic violations - because you drive slow for the mileage, you can't overtake at will, and the safety rating is questionable. So if you want to pay a huge price to make yourself a disciplined driver, go buy it!

Buying was great and I have booked advance in Day 1 of launch and got the vehicle in 3 days of actual launch. Booked Self charging Strong Hybrid "G" Variant . Driving for past 1 month in City only in bumper to bumper traffic gives 26+ mileage. One of instantaneous trip gave me 50 kmpl. I really love the mileage and its great asset of this car Driving:- All city drive almost 500 kms - very smooth and when engine on - you don't feel the vehicle is actual ON. Zero noise but when EV to ICE/Petrol change , there is a feel of sound of engine Looks - Both interior and Exterior are looking pleasant and lovely - I like it Infortainment is very nice having lot of features - I love the instantaneous mileage graph and EV/Petrol how the charging looks great. Performance - happy with the performance so far. It takes care of all bumpy roads Service:- Just save the car for service and noting to elaborate on this as this is a free service - but went for Under Chasis Paint as I stay near the Chennai Beach Pros:- 1. Performance, Driving Comfort, Self Charging Strong Hybrid 2. Mileage - Awesome - if you drive without rash - it gives 35+ mileage (but practically - 26-28 can be ontained) 3. Look and Feel 4. Elaborate Infotainment with lot of features with Heads up display 5. Audio System Cons:- 1. Boot Space limited 2. Switching from EV mode to ICS/Petrol - can hear the motor sound

Please don't buy this car. The price dropped by 7 lacs from the same showroom when I tried to get it exchanged after finding its quality issues. Toyota is very reluctant to attend to the issue and solve the problem. last week when I wanted to get it exchanged with ROXX Mahindra they contacted the Toyota Ravindu Banglore head office for a rate, and they got a feed that it's a slow-moving car quote less. Then I felt I had been royally cheated.

Experience of visiting Toyota Noida showroom - seems like they (sales man - Manoj) are not interested in selling this car. He said there is a waiting of 1 year. He was not aware of the features and mentioned that I should go through the detailed comparison of different variants on the web. Driving car experience - interior and external looks are good but I felt a low-power engine. Pickup is not good at all. People who are looking for mileage should only go for it. Driving experience was not good at all.

I don't know what the mileage hype is about when I'm getting only 17, checked with 3 other friends who have the same car and nobody even gets 20kmpl from the vehicle. Inside feels very plastic-like. Squeaky sounds from everywhere. Not the Toyota quality I've heard of or experienced. Don't buy expecting 25KMPL, there are many other vehicles in the range. You will make back the extra money spent on hybrid only if you travel 25+ km daily.

GOT DELIVER IN 4 MONTHS OF BOOKING IT LOOKS LIKE MINI FORTUNER & I LOVE DRIVING IT SMOOTH IN DRIVING IT HAS DONE 2200 KM TILL NOW THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL I LOVE MY SELECTION I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO GOA FROM MUMBAI I GOT AN AVERAGE OF 16.5 I REACHED GOA IN A SINGLE TANK & SAME WHILE IN RETURN AS ITS WAS AUTOMATIC ITS A PROBLEM IN OVER TAKING WHICH IS COMMON IN AUTOMATIC CARS BUT OVERALL I N MY KIDS ENJOYED OUR GOA TRIP

Overall the car is very good but the Sunroof cover is very cheap quality . Toyota is the brand but why I don't know they used this cheap quality of sunroof cover. If they change it seems I will buy the car

They make you go for mid or top variant as we cannot compromise the safety of air bags in low variants be it hybrid or Neo drive. I need to compromise more or either pay more. It definitely best to go for other brands in this segment.

My 5th one. Had booked on launch day. And that was different as all my earlier ones which were already road tested. My car choices have majorly been inclined to a heart connect but I had researched whatever was available and taken feedback from a trusted insider. Did take a test drive before delivery though. 40 days old with me, clocked 2700km. Switched from my 7yo Hyundai Creta petrol which I absolutely loved, had kept in mint condition, but had to let go as the initial base ones didn't have adequate basic safety features, combined with increased servicing requirements and usage, wherein it was returning approx. 10km/l in NCR. And it was manual. Will not review the car on tech parameters but on simple usage and feel. Honestly, took time to start getting to like the Hyryder. As I ended up mentally comparing with my previous car in each and every aspect. Had some initial second thoughts about the punch, space, thin roof, steering wheel set-up, etc... My usage is majorly city centric with occasional out trips Doubts about the engine capability for my kind of usage fizzled out pretty soon, as I found it leaps like a frog if asked to, it easily climbed up a 35-40 degree dry earthen but rough bank pretty easily on Normal mode, not even on Power mode. Had taken couple of trips out, it clocks 100km/h easily and leaps to 120 and beyond if you punch it. Handled the hills pretty well as well, major climbing in normal mode. Feels as steady as the Creta in very high speeds. Am comforted by the safety features provided, something I did not have earlier. And it maneuvers like an auto, fitting into tight spaces coolly. I love the looks and its stance, its the same colour combination as my previous car (thanks to my kiddo). The height complements me :) Its turning heads at the moment, have seen only a couple of these more on the roads in over a month. The AC offers surprisingly fast cooling ( even in Oct mid). The 360 degree camera is a good aid to have. Host of displays feed me with lots of info. I have a daily route through one of the busiest patches in NCR and the driving comfort is amazing. And of course, my fuel expenses have reduced by 61%. Yes, it is returning 26km/l in eco mode. Toyota will surely look at the specific feedback coming all around and act upon them. For now I am enjoying my ride :)
