No individual would ever want their family or friends to be uncomfortable in a car they paid nearly Rs 15 lakhs for, especially when it is an SUV. This is why dimensions are so vital in the game of SUVs. Among these two SUVs, the Hyryder is 53 mm longer and 5 mm wider than the Elevate, but 5 mm of extra width cannot make any appreciable difference in the overall spaciousness of the cabins. What can make a difference is Elevata\u2019s 50 mm longer wheelbase which frees more legroom and the 458-litre boot space which is a far more attractive luggage-carrying capacity than Hyryder\u2019s 265 – 373 litres boot space. The smaller 265-litre boot space of Hyryder is of its strong-hybrid variants in which the placement of battery and motor eats into the boot space. Overall, the Elevate is a more spacious offering as compared to Hyryder, however, the Hyryder is sufficiently spacious to accommodate 5 adults and deliver a comfortable ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looks matter a lot, especially when it comes to SUVs since it is their big authoritative appeal that makes their owners feel powerful as they drive down the roads. A big reason behind the failure of Honda\u2019s earlier midsize SUVs, BR-V and WR-V, was their dull looks which were a mix of MUV and SUV elements and lacked the appeal of a true-blue SUV. Better late than never as Honda has finally got the formula right and the Elevate\u2019s macho appeal has certainly impressed many Indians. An upright front bumper with an almost flat bonnet with barely any dip at the front and a large black grille, makes the Elevate look bold. Around the side and rear, the bodywork is rather clean and with the addition of black rook, it gives the SUV a touch of sophistication. Moreover, the ‘double-inverted L’ tail lights connected via a red bar and the raked rear glass are a couple of design choices that show Honda is in line with the current trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nToyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, the Toyota Hyryder looks rather sophisticated, especially from the front where it features a small closed-off grille which is essentially a black panel with a carbon fibre pattern. There is also some tasteful chrome treatment on the grille as well as surrounding the headlamps. To go well with the fashioning of the front, the side profile is neat and clean, although the squared-off wheel arches, plastic body cladding and silver roof rails add much-needed ruggedness. While the overall silhouette of the Hyryder is the same as that of the Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota has designed it well to present it as its own SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n

Both of these two Japanese SUVs have something special to offer with its powertrains. While its power figures are considerably less than those of the Honda Elevate, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is primarily intended to keep you from worrying about the running cost as you go about your day-to-day commutes. With its strong-hybrid engine that can deliver the mileage of 27.97 km\/l, the Hyryder is the most fuel-efficient petrol-hybrid car in India and even mileage figures of its mild-hybrid and CNG powertrain are exceptionally appealing for a midsize SUV. Moreover, Toyota has also made sure that the Hyryder does not lack the required refinement, despite its engine being a three-cylinder unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mild-hybrid petrol engine of the Hyryder also has an option of all-wheel-drive which can come in handy while driving through uneven patches. However, the Hyryder is not recommended for off-roading, since, apart from all-wheel-drive, it lacks every other characteristic of an off-roader. Furthermore, this SUV is best suited for sedate driving and does not resonate with the requirements of a driving enthusiast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, Honda has equipped Elevate with their 1.5-litre DOHC four-cylinder petrol engine that functions on its legendary i-VTEC technology. This is the same engine which powers the iconic Honda City and has built a reputation for being one of the best naturally aspirated petrol engines among the mainstream cars in India. Instantaneous power delivery across the RPM range is the main strength of i-VTEC engines and at the same time, they are immaculately refined which helps them deliver a pleasing drive experience. Since the Elevate shares its powertrain with the Honda City, its mileage figures are expected to be close to Honda City\u2019s 17.8 \u2013 18.4 km\/l mileage figures.<\/p>\n\n\n
