Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder news

The compact SUV space is one of the most competitive vehicle segments in India with plenty of options

While Citroen, Mercedes-Benz, Mini and Skoda had launched one car each, Indian auto-giant Mahindra updated three of its SUVs

From the Tata Nexon Red Dark Edition to the Toyota Fortuner Leader Edition, these special editions are here to make your Diwali drive even more exciting

It's Diwali, and carmakers have made sure there’s enough exciting stuff for the petrolheads: a diesel G-Class, new Octavia RS, special editions from Tata & Toyota and more

The Hyryder Aero Edition is available with all five variants of the SUV: E, S, G, G(O), and V

Among all the models offered by Toyota in India, it is the Fortuner that gets the highest price cut of up to Rs 3.34 lakh

The overall segment sales took a 7 percent hit in August 2025, with a decline of over 3,000 units compared to July 2025

While both the SUVs have the same set of powertrain choices and a nearly equal set of features, we decided to stack them up against each other to see which one comes out on top, at least on paper

Toyota’s popular SUV, the Fortuner, receives the highest price cut, while the Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, and flagship Vellfire also see significant reductions

While the Hyundai Creta secured the top spot again, it was the Hyryder that was sold more than the Maruti Grand Vitara and Kia Seltos, helping it gain the 2nd spot

All the accessories offered in the limited Prestige Package are purely exterior elements, with no additions made to the interior of the Hyryder

The Hyryder, Elevate and Basalt were the only three SUVs to see growth in month-on-month (MoM) demand in May 2025

The entire compact SUV segment saw an overall drop in demand by over 16 percent in April 2025 with the Honda Elevate recording the highest decline in monthly sales

The list not only covers confirmed launches like the upcoming Kia Clavis but also includes new EVs with a premium cabin experience

April saw the launch of blacked-out editions, model year updates, new-gen SUVs, and a special edition of a two-door roadster with a manual gearbox choice
