Bro, this is only the first tareekh. For those after strong hybrid should be prepared for more tareekhs.

Of the 50,000-odd bookings, Maruti Suzuki has received for the Grand Vitara so far, 44% has come in for the strong hybrid version. Industry sources indicated about 75% of the bookings of Toyota Hyryder has come in for the strong hybrid version.

Hybrid Cars Turn Hot Sellers
Prices of some variants have been announced.
Strong hybrid variants start at 15L and top end is 18.99L.
Pricing of Hybrid variants and V AT NeoDrive are out:
Wow!! Additional 1.5 lacs for V Variant? That is little too much in my opinion. Variant does not have that many features over G :confused:
Seriously Toyota, one of the most anticipated launches and this is how you reveal the price?
Talking about it, it's bang on in the middle of Creta-Seltos territory. Heck, the top end undercuts the City Hybrid by a lakh ex showroom. The Toyota premium isn't as bad as I thought. Good for them
The base hybrid can pull quite a bit of the 1.5 NA Auto customers from Hyundai - Kia. I wish Toyota goes ahead and send a couple examples to GNCAP for testing. I sure don't expect Maruti to do the same.

If I'm not mistaken, some features were exclusive to Hybrid versions over the smart hybrid ones like Ventilated seats, TPMS, HUD and wireless charger. So realistically, the difference should be 1.5 lakhs.
Hybrid is priced 1.9 lakhs more than non Hybrid. 2 lakhs premium is still a lot but lot lesser than what Honda is charging. However Honda adds ADAS and their hybrid is a 4 cylinder petrol vs the Toyota which the Hybrid loses 1 cylinder hence lower cost.
Price is as expected but still would say it's a premium than what is essentially an S-cross replacement and in some ways the S-cross is actually better.
Few points:
- 90K lower than the City Hybrid. Expected since the Honda adds ADAS and a more superior Hybrid drive train with 4 cylinder and the clever drive system.
- 2L over non hybrid version is a tough sell especially since the neo drive is tuned for fuel efficiency. The Hybrid will give better FE in city but I suspect highway mileage for the neo drive will be better or on par.
- Hybrid is 1L more than the Creta/Seltos diesel for top end. This is going to be a big issue unless the buyer wants an environment friendly hybrid over dirty diesel. Also the diesel with it's DPF issues is not as low maintenance.
Wow! Toyota matched the price of the Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol CVT SX(O) variant (17,07,100) with the Hyryder top variant 1.5 petrol mild hybrid 6AT (17,09,000).
It is based on Maruti's 4-star rated platform and nearly has all the features that Creta has. This will certainly disrupt the market in ways that others could not.
Oh the price announcement comes without any HYpe. That was a surprise. The base HYbrid version priced at 15L ex-showroom may give a better advantage over the existing full petrol cars.
Top end at 19L ex-showroom with one cylinder less and no ADAS might lose out to Honda.
Waiting to test drive the car now.
Top end undercuts City Hybrid by nearly Rs. 1,00,000 ex-showroom. And it seems to be on par with the turbo petrol offering of the competitors. A premium of 2 lakhs over the Mild Hybrid is justifiable and can be recovered pretty soon. Lets see how the general public react to the pricing.
Ex showroom price list of Hyryder. Absolutely killed it in my opinion.

17.09 lakhs is for the K15 All wheel drive variant. For now, only prices for the strong-hybrid and the mild-hybrid AWD variants have been announced.
Financial express speculated Rs 15.50 lakh for AWD (GV). This is 1.6L more than the speculation.
Top end Hybrid is 1L more than the speculated value. Note sure whether these models will make the desired impact. The speculated price was quite attractive :)

17.09 lakhs is for neo drive top end 2WD automatic variant, not for the AWD variant as per the Toyota website. Prices for the AWD variant and remaining neo drive variants are yet to be announced. Also as per the website AWD manual variant will be priced below top end automatic neo drive variant ie below 17.09 laksh
I think they have priced it right. There were many concerned BHPians contemplating that Toyota would outprice them and make it 25L ex show room for top Hybrid Variant.
For me, Toyota has thrown the gauntlet and pricing will not be a factor constraining their sales. Let us see how it feels to drive and if it is practical for city and highway use cases.
