The Urban Cruiser Hyryder is also the first in the segment to offer all-wheel drive, and it is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Toyota's high-end products, the Camry and Vellfire, also offer hybrid technology.
The hybrid powertrain in the Urban Cruiser Hyryder will improve fuel efficiency by 40-50 per cent, making it the best-in-class. The official mileage figures are still unknown. It will also reduce carbon emissions by 27 per cent as a result. This advancement is consistent with Toyota's Global Vision, which calls for a 90 per cent reduction in new-vehicle CO2 emissions by 2050. Toyota addresses the issue of rising fuel prices in the mass market by bringing the self-charging hybrid unit from premium cars to an affordable B-SUV.
