Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) announced that its Urban Cruiser Hyryder has surpassed 1,00,000-unit sales in India since its launch in July 2022. This achievement highlights the rising consumer shift towards hybrid technology in the Indian automotive market.
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder, available in Self-Charging Hybrid Electric (SHEV), Neo Drive, and CNG powertrains, has carved a niche with its advanced features and fuel efficiency. The SHEV variant offers up to 27.97 km/l*, while the Neo Drive’s optional All-Wheel Drive (AWD) appeals to a wide range of drivers.
In Shillong, the Hyryder has seen strong traction, driven by the city’s unique terrain and eco-conscious population. The SHEV’s silent operation and outstanding mileage resonate with customers seeking sustainable yet practical vehicles for navigating Shillong’s hilly roads and urban areas. This demand reflects a growing acceptance of hybrid SUVs in smaller but strategically important markets.“This milestone reaffirms our commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable mobility solutions that align with evolving customer preferences,” said Sabari Manohar, Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, TKM.
