Chronology
Predecessor

The Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are subcompact crossover SUVs (B-segment)[4] developed by Suzuki and produced by Toyota in India since 2022.[5][6] The Urban Cruiser Hyryder was released in July 2022 in India ahead of the Grand Vitara. It is available with a range of mild and strong hybrid petrol powertrains. The Grand Vitara replaced the S-Cross in India, while the Urban Cruiser Hyryder indirectly replaced the smaller Urban Cruiser, a rebadged Vitara Brezza. In 2023, the Toyota-badged model was released as the Toyota Urban Cruiser in South Africa and the Middle East.[7]

Overview

Before the launch of Grand Vitara, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder was released first in India on 1 July 2022.[8] The Grand Vitara followed later on 20 July. The vehicle was developed by Suzuki using the Global C platform shared with the SX4 S-Cross and the Vitara.

Production of both models started in August 2022 at Toyota Kirloskar Motor's second plant in Bidadi, while sales began in India in September.[9] The planned monthly production of both models is targeted at 18,000 to 19,000 units, with the Grand Vitara contributing 13,000 units.[10] Exports to African markets started in 2023.[6][11] In 2022, the vehicle contains 90% Indian parts.[12]

For the strong hybrid model, Suzuki incorporated the Toyota Hybrid System to the vehicle (marketed as "Intelligent Electric Hybrid" by Suzuki), which includes Toyota's 1.5-liter M15D-FXE three-cylinder engine similar to the XP210 series Toyota Yaris / Yaris Cross. This version is only available in India. Both engines met the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards.

Reception

In their review of the Grand Vitara Hybrid, Autocar India commended the vehicle's styling. They specifically lauded the Toyota-engineered strong hybrid system, describing it as "exceptional." However, the review criticised its limited boot space and a perceived lack of performance "punch" in the strong hybrid model.[29] Evo India described the ride quality as "so sorted," due to its suspension tuning being "just right for our (Indian) roads," while commenting about its lack of horsepower.[30]
