Can you guess what happens when a familiar SUV gets a full black makeover? The result could look far more striking without changing the things that make it useful. That is exactly what Toyota has done with the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero Black Edition in India. The limited edition is mainly about looks, with a new black styling kit added to selected variants.
Price and availability
The Aero Black package costs Rs 31,999. It is offered with Midnight Black G and V variants in both Neo Drive and strong hybrid forms. Toyota will sell it for a limited period, depending on stock.
| Variant | Price with Aero Black |
|---|---|
| G Neo Drive | Rs 15.19 lakh |
| V Neo Drive | Rs 16.74 lakh |
| G Strong Hybrid | Rs 15.19 lakh |
| V Strong Hybrid | Rs 16.74 lakh |
What does the kit add?
The main changes are easy to spot from the outside. Several parts get a black finish, giving the SUV a darker look.
- Front grille upper garnish
- Front spoiler
- Headlamp garnish
- Tailgate garnish
- Rear spoiler
- Aero Black Limited Edition badge
- Black finish on selected bumper trim
Toyota is also offering an optional All Black Package through dealerships for buyers who want a darker look.
Engines and gearbox
There is no new engine for this edition. The Hyryder continues with its existing choices. The 1.5 litre petrol motor makes 103hp and 137Nm. It can be paired with a five speed manual or six speed automatic. Four wheel drive is also available with the petrol engine.
The CNG version makes 88hp and 121.5Nm and comes with a five speed manual gearbox.
For buyers looking at the hybrid, the 1.5 litre three cylinder petrol engine works with an electric motor to produce 115hp. It uses an eCVT and sends power to the front wheels. Toyota claims 27.97kmpl for the strong hybrid.
Features and ownership
The Hyryder continues with features such as a 9 inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and a 360 degree camera. It also has rear AC vents, USB ports and reclining rear seats.
Toyota has crossed two lakh Hyryder sales since its launch in 2022. The SUV also gets a three year or 100,000km warranty, which can be extended to five years or 220,000km. The hybrid battery warranty can run for eight years or 160,000km.
It is also worth noting that the package is available only with the Midnight Black shade, so buyers already choosing a black Hyryder get the full effect.
The package is supplied through Genuine Accessories and availability depends on stock.
The final word
The Aero Black Edition is a simple update for buyers who want a different looking Hyryder. There are no performance changes, but the black details give it a stronger visual identity. For Rs 31,999, it adds a little more style without changing the basic Hyryder package.
