Just for information, Toyota HyRyder or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara have not been tested by any NCAP.

Sorry my bad. It's UC that has 4 star

Hi! My car had rattles from the left B pillar until I figured out that they come only after someone sat on the passenger side in the last trip. It was because the seat belt did not retract completely. Fixing it every times stops the rattles. If the seat is positioned in a certain way the seat belt latch gets stuck because of the seat back and makes those rattling sounds on a bad road.

Sorry to hear about your accident, was there any damage to the battery motor in the bonnet? Also now that the front is open, can you confirm at what height is the air-intake located?

I would get the Toyota in this case. From what I see and read, current generation of Hyundais and Kias are riddled with issues. At this age or any age for that matter, peace of mind is paramount. Therefore, I highly suggest getting the Hyryder.

Mod Note: Please quote ONLY the relevant bits of a post. Quoting a full, long post inconveniences our mobile readers.

Any updates on this? Please provide an update for the rest of the forum to be look out for the signs for such possible failures.

My Hyryder has done almost 4000 kms now. Now that I have got the car and I have to live with it, so I planned to do some modifications to make it a buy worthy for at least 50k kms. The rattling problem has also been resolved to an extent.
I got dampening of the doors done. This has made the flimsy doors feel more solid . Also the sound quality has improved a lot.
The dealership has been very helpful, they are ready to resolve any issue on proirity. Probably this would be the major difference between getting a Maruti and Toyota. Toyota service is actually trying to make up for the lower quality of the product by its prompt actions.

Attaching some pictures of the dampening done.

Has anyone got any solution for the co-driver seat belt ? It rattles a lot. You need to manually adjust it to not make noise.

Booked the Hyryder Hybrid G model - in March (Lakozy Mumbai).
I have been given an expected delivery time on June/ July 2025��
Anyone have an idea what's even going on?

If you don't mind sharing, how much did the sound dampening cost? Any idea if all Toyota dealers offer this service? I will make sure to ask when I go for my 2nd service next month

Total 9 sheets were used for the dampening process. 850 per sheet . I paid 7650 for the dampening along with installation. I got the dampening done from a reputed car accessories showroom. I don’t think the showroom does the dampening.

Apparently what I got to know from an insider is that Grand Vitara’s are more easily available than the Hyryder .

Let’s see what happens when the Maruti Version of the Hycross comes in. Hycross demands a waiting of almost 2 years like Hyryder. Brand Innova has been the main cash cow for Toyota for almost 2 decades. I am confused by the strategy Toyota has taken.

Introduction:-
I have been using Hyryder for the past 4 months and covered 11,500km. These are my few observations after driving through various conditions. I have also attached few pictures as there are very few posts reviewing the Base Hybrid variant.
Colour: Cafe White
Variant: S hybrid
Current ODO reading: 11500 km

Mileage Status:- (Tankfull Method)
Max:- 27.53 kmpl
Min:- 20.03 kmpl
Average:- 23.5 kmpl

What I Like:-
1. Excellent Fuel Efficiency- Keep the speed between 50 to 70km/h to extract
maximum mileage
2. Base Variant VFM – This variant is pretty much loaded (ACC, Cruise
Control, Wireless AppleCar Play, Drive Modes )
3. Toyota ASS
4. Ground clearance boon on Indian roads
5. Comfortable seats over long drives
6. Extra Headroom (No Sunroof)
7. Minimal use of chrome

What I Don’t Like:-
1. Takes time getting used to the Hybrid driving style
2. No Rear Wash and Wiper.
3. Interior Quality feels cheap
3. Performance not adequate for Highway Drives
4. Engine sounds louder in hilly areas and sometimes struggle to overtake when
fully loaded.

Upgrades:-
1. Graphene Coating
2. Body colour side claddings (Toyota Service Centre Paint Job)
3. 3M Antiglare Front Windshield
4. Garware side Tint
5. 16inch Infinity Alloy Wheels in stock tires (Better Stance)
6. LED Bulb Upgrade for headlamps
7. 3D Floor mats

Service History:-
1. 13/01/2023- 997km (Free Service)
2. 21/02/2023- 5056km (Free Service)
3. 20/04/2023- 9737km (Rs.3136/-)

Pictures:-

Hi I am sorry for not replying back earlier. There was no damage to the battery motor. I wasn't present for the repairs as I had to leave the country and my driver handled the repairs.

Happy to note that repairs have been carried out successfully with a total bill of Rs.1.3 lakhs. Major costs were condenser, radiator, headlights, radiator grill. The insurance which was from Bajaj Allianz, has been handled very professionally by Madhuban Toyota and Bajaj. Everything was handled virtually and professionally with me not even needing to visit the service station.

Hyryder has a waiting period of 2 years? Wow that's insane. Same with Hycross?

Car looks good. Congratulations. I have completed 7500 Kms in about 4 months. I have been meaning to get the sound dampening myself. Have you done only the doors?
