Why I think the Toyota Hyryder isn't a threat to the Creta & Seltos | Team-BHP

Had a look on Hyryder in Gurgaon after visiting Maruti for seeing Brezza. The car in display was top end variant of strong hybrid engine variant.

Conclusion: I am not an expert like our respected mods. So take this post with a pinch!!!

I may stand corrected in future but my first reaction within limited interaction with the car doesn't tell me that this car will be a major challenge to Hyundai twins. It has its share of quirks and as a package, this doesn't click like a Creta or a Seltos. And keeping in view how Maruti has priced Brezza, it's going to be tough job even with 1.5 K15C in Hyryder.

I am in market for a safe automatic (since eternity now) and since I came back from seeing Brezza, the comparison was inevitable with Hyryder. If I wanted a richer interior/exterior and some extra snob value, that's where Hyryder comes in K15C trim. The question remains at what cost. I mean it has same engine, transmission, Infotainment, safety equipment (minus rear disk brakes), steering wheel and those famous window switches too. On the contrary, Brezza felt roomier to me than Hyryder.

Pricing is the key here and even if the hybrid gives great mileage, that boot space is going to be a downer.
