A popular option in the compact SUV segment, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder has received updates and new editions at regular intervals. 2025 Toyota Hyryder has just been introduced with multiple new features and a new AWD variant as well. Prices for the 2025 Toyota Hyryder are expected to start at Rs 11.34 lakh, which is around Rs 20,000 more than earlier. Let’s take a look at the new features and updates.
New 6AT AWD variant
In a move that’s likely based on market feedback, Toyota has introduced a 6-speed automatic gearbox with V AWD variant. This new transmission replaces the earlier 5-speed manual transmission. Folks who need the manual-AWD combo will probably have to go with the equivalent Maruti Grand Vitara Alpha variant. The shift to automatic for the V AWD variant ensures a more premium positioning for Toyota Hyryder.
While both Hyryder and Grand Vitara are essentially the same, there’s a significant difference in their monthly sales. Grand Vitara sells more than twice as much, likely due to its slightly lower pricing and Maruti’s larger dealer network. The addition of automatic transmission with the V AWD variant can help attract an entirely new set of users. It will be interesting to see if this new Hyryder variant can boost sales numbers in the coming months.
