2025 Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder: what’s new?
Interior
Higher-stacked Hyryder variants now feature an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, rear-door sunshades and ambient lighting. Select variants come with an AQI monitor and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), while 15W USB-C charging ports and LED reading lamps are now standard offerings.
Safety
In addition to structural enhancements, Toyota has made six airbags – driver, co-driver, front side, and curtain – as standard across all Hyryder variants. Previously, the entry-level E and S Hyryders came with only two airbags. Moreover, some Hyryder automatic trims now have an electronic parking brake (EPB).
New V AT AWD variant
With the 2025 update, Toyota has phased out the 5-speed manual transmission to add a 6-speed automatic unit in the AWD V variant. This move will also help the brand draw a sharper line between the Hyrder and its sister model, the Maruti Grand Vitarawhich is limited to a manual gearbox in its AWD variant.
