27.53 km/l mileage from my Toyota Hyryder: Ownership likes & dislikes

50 - 70 km/h is the sweet spot to get the best fuel efficiency figure from the hybrid SUV.

BHPian KurianMathoor recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Introduction

I have been using Hyryder for the past 4 months and covered 11,500 km. These are my few observations after driving through various conditions. I have also attached a few pictures as there are very few posts reviewing the Base Hybrid variant.

1. Colour: Cafe White
2. Variant: S hybrid
3. Current ODO reading: 11,500 km

Mileage Status: (Tankfull Method)

• Max: 27.53 km/l
• Min: 20.03 km/l
• Average: 23.5 km/l

What I Like

1. Excellent Fuel Efficiency- Keep the speed between 50 to 70 km/h to extract maximum mileage
2. Base Variant VFM – This variant is pretty much loaded (ACC, Cruise Control, Wireless Apple CarPlay, 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 to get used to the Hybrid driving style
2. No Rear Wash and Wiper.
3. Interior Quality feels cheap
4. Performance not adequate for highway Drives
5. Engine sounds louder in hilly areas and sometimes struggles to overtake when fully loaded.
