<p>The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder now costs more to bring home, with prices in India going up by as much as Rs 42,700. The revision is already in effect across dealerships and applies to petrol, CNG and strong-hybrid variants. The Urban Cruiser Hyryder is Toyota’s midsize SUV in India and shares its platform with the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. Even with the orice hike it has the same engines and feature list. You still get the hybrid system, the AWD option on the top trim and the same equipment across the range, but the entry and top-end prices have moved up.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-i20-becomes-more-affordable-in-india-prices-now-begin-at-rs-599-lakh-122847/">Hyundai i20 Becomes More Affordable in India, Prices Now Begin at Rs 5.99 Lakh</a></p><p>The Hyryder line-up continues to offer multiple engine options. Buyers can choose from a petrol manual, petrol automatic, CNG and the strong-hybrid version. The hybrid setup pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and runs through an e-CVT gearbox. The top variant also retain an all-wheel-drive system linked to the petrol manual. Toyota has not made any mechanical updates with this price revision, so performance figures and transmission options remain unchanged.</p><p>

It operates in the midsize SUV segment and shares its base and powertrain options with a related model sold in the same category. The availability of petrol, hybrid and CNG options within one line-up continues to attract buyers looking at running costs and fuel efficiency.</p><p>Toyota has revised Hyryder pricing multiple times since its launch, and the February 2026 update is the latest step in that cycle. The new ex-showroom prices are now in effect across India, with bookings open and deliveries underway depending on variant availability.</p>

<p>Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s garage has gained a rare addition as the Mercedes F1 driver takes delivery of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Motorsport Collectors Edition. Limited to 200 units worldwide, the model comes as part of his factory driver allocation and links directly to his role on the F1 grid. The handover took place in Europe as pre-season preparations gather pace, and the GT 63 PRO highlights Antonelli’s fast rise within the Mercedes set-up. It also continues the brand’s practice of placing its F1 drivers in one of its most track-focused road cars.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-mercedes-unveils-w17-car-and-livery-for-2026-season-122755/">F1: Mercedes Unveils W17 Car and Livery for 2026 Season</a></p>


<h2>Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO Motorsport Edition: Engine and Performance</h2>
<p>This Motorsport Edition is a beefed-up AMG GT 63 PRO, powered by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo heart pumping out a formidable 603bhp. That grunt is fed to the tarmac via the 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, with the car hunkered down on ultra-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R rubber and reigned in by carbon-ceramic stoppers.</p>
<p>Visually, Mercedes has opted for the AMG Night Package II to sharpen the aesthetic. But it isn't all about looks, compared to the standard GT 63, this version boasts significant tweaks to cooling and aero-designed to handle punishing track sessions without losing its road-legal status.</p>
