Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder 7-Seater Spotted Testing; Details
The 7-seater Urban Cruiser Hyryder is expected to receive styling similar to the Urban Cruiser EV shown at the 2025 Auto Expo, similar to the upcoming 7-seater Grand Vitara, which will also receivve styling bits based on the e Vitara. The 7-seater Hyryder will be longer than the regular Hyryder, and we can expect it feature a longer wheelbase as well.
While not much is known about the interiors, we can expect the 7-seater Hyryder to receive similar interiors to the Urban Cruiser EV. We can expect that this longer Hyryder may also come with a 6-seater captain chair setup. Features-wise, we can expect it to come with a panoramic sunroof, some level of ADAS, powered front seats with ventilation, climate control, a premium sound system, cooled glovebox, frameless IRVM, and wireless charging among other things.
Under the hood, we can expect the two set of powertrains to carry on; the 1.5-litre, nat-asp petrols; one with a mild-hybrid setup, paired to either a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the strong-hybrid powertrain comes paired to an e-CVT unit. However, both these powertrains could be tuned to produce more power and torque.

We can expect the 7-seater Urban Cruiser Hyryder to be showcased soon after the 7-seater Grand Vitara is shown, with a launch to follow soon afterwards. The expected timeline is difficult to pinpoint, but we can expect it to be shown sometime around early 2026.
Verdict
The 7-seater versions of the Hyryder and the Grand Vitara have been in development for a while, and with the spy models getting shot more often, it is possible that the officia, debuts could be around the corner. These cars could also help Toyota enter the 7-seater segment and finally have something on sale other than the Innova Crysta.
