Hyryder- hybrid - First drive experience.

Got my Full hybrid V variant delivered 10 days back and sharing my quick observations after doing two long drives covering 1000 Kms. This hybrid engine is very good in performance and Silent in nature, should be bit careful while driving it in neck to neck traffic conditions because of its silent nature and NVH Level is too low.. I could eventually see the electric motor support much while doing heavy foots either for a quick pickup or overtaking. Being upgraded from diesel engine to hybrid engine, it doesn't feels like driving a petrol engine, in terms or torque and power. The fun factor might be slightly less but doesn't compromise on , stability, reliability, Comfort and confidence. It does carries over all the stability and reliability that a Full pledged SUV;s like Fortuner and endeavor offer in that segment . Coming to the fuel consumption, based on my driving conditions, i got around 23kms in entire drive as 60% of the drive is on high way and 40% within city. As it is first hybrid vehicle , i have to adapt to a sedate style of driving in order to ripe out the full benefit of this hybrid engine. The turning radius is bit high and need t o plan and judge for you turns and cuts. I would prefer this SUV for anyone looking for quality and reliable upgrade in this segment. With all the above observations, to me it sounds like owning a Mini Fortuner.
