About the Toyota Hyryder Base Variant:
The E MT base model comes fitted with a 1.5 liter K Series petrol engine sourced from Maruti. It also has an Embedded Starter Generator, which contributes to its mild-hybrid status. Transmission choices are restricted to a 5-speed manual gearbox, with a 6-speed AT offered only on the S model and upwards. The petrol engine has a power rating of 103 PS and a maximum torque of 136.8 Nm.
Although being the lowest trim, the E MT looks good. Nevertheless, it lacks some luxury features, indicating that it is an entry-level model. To start, rather than LED headlamps, the grade has Bi-Halogen projector-led headlights.
It has 17-inch steel wheels rather than the alloys featured in higher grades. LED position lights, Twin LED DRLs, Tail Lights lamps, ORVMs with turn signals, roof-end spoilers, body-colored door knobs, and a shark-fin antenna are among the primary features offered on the version.
