Toyota Hyryder Waiting Period Reaches up to 14 Months in India

The waiting duration for cars manufactured by Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has been revised for this month. The SUV has been one of the major sales drivers for the firm along with other models such as the Innova Hycross and the Innova Crysta. Therefore, it generally commands a significantly lengthy waiting duration. There are nine models with a waiting period this month out of the 11 that the company currently sells in the domestic market. Right now, there is a 14-month (56 weeks) long waiting period for the CNG version of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Meanwhile, customers who wish to reserve the mild-hybrid Neo Drive models may have to wait up to 10 months (39 weeks), whereas those reserving the strong-hybrid variants may have to see a 6-month (22 weeks) delay. For those unaware, the wait time for the mid-size SUV was decreased to 15 months (60 weeks) in January.

Toyota Hyryder: Engine Options

The midsize SUV has three different powerplant options under the hood. First up is a 1.5-litre TNGA Atkinson Cycle engine that produces 92bhp and 122Nm of peak torque when coupled to an eCVT. The mill puts out 114bhp of maximum power when paired with the 79bhp electric motor. According to Toyota, this robust hybrid system has a fuel efficiency of 27.97km/l and is powered by a 117.6V lithium-ion battery. The second is a mild hybrid system that includes a motor known as "Neo Drive" in addition to the 1.5-litre K15C engine that drives the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Either a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox or a 5-speed manual gearbox is coupled to this unit. The third is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that can be paired with a manual gearbox. The last option is available with the base-spec variants.
