Thanks. Did not know that about XP95.
Are our engines designed to handle ethanol? I believe rubber parts like gaskets and seals in older vehicles are especially vulnerable to ethanol.

Took a test drive of Hyryder strong hybrid. Was thoroughly disappointed with the engine performance; taking forever to accelerate.

Official torque figures didn't lie (-120-140nm, that too at 4k+rpm)

Got the Toyota Hyryder V Hybrid home today. I am glad to have bought this car and initial impression is very good. Will post a detailed review after some time.

Due to jerks or bumps the phone alignment is disturbed which stops the wireless charging. If you align it back the light becomes blue. Let me know if this fixes it. Or else you might need to visit the service station.

Are you sure it was strong hybrid and not neodrive? Or it might be in Eco mode. Strong hybrid feel quick off the feet and the torque figure given are just of the engine, not including the electric boost that gives additional power when pushed hard.

When did you book this car?

I've had the Hyryder hybrid for two months now and I do find the acceleration from standstill pretty inconsistent.

4 out of 5 times the electric motor drives the car/supports the engine and pickup is very nice at city speeds. However, once in a while, it's just the engine that runs and I find it very sluggish - I guess it's a mix of the 3-cylinder Atkinson cycle and the CVT rubber band effect. The car actually feels worse that a laggy turbo diesel.

Have any other owners faced this?

It was strong hybrid. I switched off eco mode but things didn't improve much.

I was also expecting a good combined performance from na+electric but was disappointed.

I think Toyota is targeting a first time buyer with impressive exterior and high mileage claims + resale value

Start off was ok, but later experience mirrors yours. I took a td.

There should not be any rubber band effect because this is not exact a CVT, its an eCVT and the only reason it is called that is because it has infinite ratio but that is not achieved using belt and pulley system and therefore should not have the rubber band effect.

I think almost everyone has faced so. That's the nature of all Hybrid cars. When hybrid battery is charged, it's double torque from both engine and Electric motor. It feels like a super charged car. But when battery is low only engine works that's when it's only Engine torque. There is no CVT ruber band effect.

My car had rattles first from left B pillar which was settled with "NVH kit" and later has Noise from Central console. Today again i have given to Espirit Toyota Noida. And they say they will apply NVH there too.
Espirit Toyota Noida have an Expert named Salman. Who is really good in these settling these Rattle noises. As per him this NVH kit is supplied by Toyota and it's not specific for any car. Since it's quite expensive this kit is applied whenever the customer insist on settling such Noises. Not all dealers stock it due to cost issues.

Good to know Toyota SCs are taking responsibility and offering the kit.
NVH kit i think is working out fine for me except 2 spots.
Now there's this weird plastic clatter coming from the back and some new clatter that the HUD lid is making on cracked roads. I can only hear both the sounds on that specific 4-5 km stretch but man it's annoying.

I located the source of the noise coming from the back and I found that the hard plastic on the trunk door is sensitive to light touch so it's prone to rattling and is similar to what I'm hearing. So i tried a jugadu fix and put a piece of paper between it. Let's see how it works out
On my 10k service I'll ask them to rectify both the sounds.

Thanks again.

What you mean by expected to score? If it's never been tested it might score 2 or 1 also, you never know.

Seltos Indian version score 3 star, Australian 5 Star, American 4 star. Hope they work on Indian model to push it to 4 or 5 Star in next version..

.

Hyryder has an NCAP of 4 star. Please check the scores on net.

Recently I faced an unfortunate event when I was involved on a pile up on the Vashi bridge. 4 cars were involved and I was the last. Initially I thought that the car wasn't damaged however when opened, there was substantial damage to the internal parts including radiator and condenser. Estimate was a lakh and car is under repairs now. Attached some pictures
