Context
Why does this story matter?
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder is the first ground-up all-new product jointly designed by Toyota and Maruti Suzuki to suit our Indian road conditions. Both the automakers opted to go down the SHEV route, as the vehicles offer higher efficiency figures during highway runs compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) counterparts along with the benefits of EV in stop-and-go traffic in the cities.

On the sides, the SUV is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, flared wheel arches, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
