Additionally, the Hyryder will feature a mild-hybrid powertrain with a 1.5-litre K15C engine, which is also present in models such as the new Brezza, XL6, and the Ertiga. This engine produces 103 hp and 137 Nm of torque and is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
The mild-hybrid engine with a 5-speed manual transmission also offers all-wheel drive as an option. While it is not the first midsize SUV to have AWD (the now-terminated Renault Duster previously offered AWD), it currently stands as the sole SUV in its class to provide this option.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder shares its powertrain with the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Victoris. It competes against models like Volkswagen Taigun, Renault Duster, Hyundai Creta, Tata Sierra, Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, and others.
