What do you mean by update here? If you are talking about the accessory, then I hope it arrives soon. Besides, I have the G variant and I'm not bothered with the sunroof as the AC is a chiller.

Go for it.

Go for it.

I was originally planning for monotone cafe white strong hybrid but dealer has a Dual tone white G variant in stock and will deliver within 2 weeks if I confirm. Do you also have a dualtone?(asking for A.c performance) since the roof is black.
And by update I meant thicker sunroof curtain on newer models.
Thanks.

Also at the Maruti showroom I visited yesterday just to check on road prices, the S.A mentioned that some people with vitara strong hybrid are complaining about strange sound from engine and 1 customer had engine failure even before first service.strange. I was sceptical because he was pushing me for maruti's smart hybrid. So I just left
Owners are you facing any such issue?
Thanks.

I modified my pulse and glide technique to finally get a mileage of 27km/L. With AC on of course.

Pulse up to desired speed and let go of the throttle to deactivate engine and get the ECO bar up to 2 dots to activate the motor. Letting go of gas especially on down slopes helps with regen.

The problem I'm now facing is that on speeds like 60 to 80 the car will not maintain the constant speed while on battery with 2 dots on the ECO. It needs at least 4 to maintain the constant speed. It rarely ever drives on battery after 2 dots. It can very well handle it because I've seen it do it a few times.
Even cruise control turns on the engine more often and isn't as eco-friendly as using it in my Honda City.

I feel like Toyota should update the firmware to optimize the hybrid system to maximise handling of the initial acceleration and maintaining constant speed by the battery more often and have a higher threshold where the engine activates.



Which one should I believe? Last fill up showed 26.2Km/L using the fill up formula but ODO showed 25.6.
Currently my remaining fuel is 6 dots.









Another thing that I wanted to mention is that after driving this car for so long I completely forgot what pure power feels like. I drove my Honda City after so long that a little tap on the accelerator sent it flying. Drove the Fortuner right after and man...
Hyryder's no fun to drive unless it's on power mode. The Power mode on the Hyryder feels straight out of their motor sports division. I kept up with a quick BMW X1 driver this morning. All that while still getting 31Km/For the trip .
We had fun.

I love this car. It's my Ultimate Daily, but the lack of thrill is really felt. Its too refined and that's great but
It's only when sitting in a good 4cyl ICE car makes you go full Emperor Palpatine.

Hi, have you got any update regarding the issue from workshop yet? I hope its something as simple as a wire getting cut (by rodent) or some bad sensor.

Cons

1. AC: The summers have just started and ac feels barely adequate. Contrary to popular belief i think it's not because of the mosquito net shade but it's actually due to the Pano sunroof. It almost becomes a glass house due to big sunroof with heat entrapped beneath it.

Surprised about the AC being a con. Toyota cars generally come with a chiller of an AC.

Yes, the problem was resolved and I got the car back in 3 working days. According to them there was some loose connect in the wires. They were unable to identify hence it took them so long to resolve it.

I have driven for 300 kms after the solution was done and so far there has been no problem.

Hi, has anyone tried to get refund or exemption on the strong hybrid variant of Hyryder under the new EV policy 2022 of UP Government?
I have booked one and would like to get this sorted as dealers are pretty unaware about the whole situation.
