Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Variant Wise Pricing

Hyundai Creta & Kia Seltos:

Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular compact SUVs in India.

At launch, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder goes up against a plethora of compact SUVs in the Indian market. Not just that, there are also a few mid-size SUVs in the price range too.

Volkswagen Taigun & Skoda Kushaq: 

Volkswagen Taigun was the VW group's first car under its India 2.0 strategy.

Following them are the two SUVs under the Volkswagen group, those being the Volkswagen Taigun & the Skoda Kushaq. The two SUVs were launched in India last year under the group's India 2.0 strategy, and are underpinned by the versatile and highly localised MQB-A0-IN platform. The compact SUVs are half a size smaller than their rivals, but bet them in many aspects, like luxury and driver engagement.

Then there's the only compact SUV from an Indian manufacturer on sale currently, the Tata Harrier. The Harrier packs a lot of performance and is larger, compared to the other compact SUVs. It also has a lot of features on offer, and comes with a tank-like built quality, which also propelled the car to a 5-star Global NCAP crash test score, making it one of the safest cars in India.

Mahindra XUV700 & Mahindra Scorpio-N:

Coming to the mid-size SUVs, the two most popular models on sale right now are the Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio-N.
