The picture suggests that the vehicle will have a split headlight design, roof rails, and indicator-mounted ORVMs, among other highlights. It might be backed by a 1.5-liter petrol engine.
Why does this story matter?
The Toyota Hyryder compact SUV will be a joint project between Toyota and Maruti Suzuki. It should offer good looks, a long list of features, and decent performance. Once it goes official in our country, the competition in the market will be raised. It will take on rivals such as Tata Harrier, SKODA KUSHAQ, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai CRETA.
The car will have a black grille and LED DRLs
The Toyota Hyryder will flaunt a sculpted hood, a thick glossy black grille with a chrome insert, sleek LED DRLs, a large air vent, and contrast-colored skid plates. On the sides, it will be flanked by roof rails, B-pillars, black-colored indicator-mounted ORVMs, and designer wheels. Taillamps and a window wiper should be available on the rear end of the car.
It should run on a 1.5-liter petrol engine
The Toyota Hyryder is expected to draw power from a 1.5-liter K15C petrol engine linked to manual and automatic gearboxes. However, the company is yet to disclose the power and torque output figures.
The four-wheeler will get an electric sunroof and ADAS
The Toyota Hyryder is expected to have a spacious cabin with a head-up display, an electric sunroof, auto climate control, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It will house a touchscreen infotainment system with support for connected car technology. The safety of the passengers will be ensured by multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, a 360-degree-view camera, and a host of ADAS functions.
