Interior is stylish, but rivals offer better fit-finish.
Mild-hybrid’s 355-litre boot is large, well-shaped; Hybrid’s is 100-litre smaller.

In line with segment trends, the Hyryder features pretty much all the kit expected at this price such as LED lights, 17-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats (hybrid only), wireless charging (hybrid only) as well as a touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Three-point seatbelts, adjustable headrests for all five occupants.
Safety features haven’t been skimped either, and the top variants feature six airbags, ESP, hill-start assist and three-point seatbelts and adjustable head restraints for all five occupants. Some rivals also offer more premium speakers, rain-sensing wipers, electric driver’s seat adjustment and electric parking brake with auto hold function.
Infotainment
Maruti’s 9-inch touchscreen is feature-packed with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as connected car tech. But the system isn’t devoid of glitches and the voice assistant erratically activates without any user input. In addition, while using wireless smartphone integration, phone call connection is weak, although it’s seamless when using only Bluetooth.
What’s also interesting is that the Arkamys system in the V variant sounds noticeably superior than the speakers on the lower G variants. The system integrates a tyre pressure monitoring system, but displays units in ‘kpa’ rather than the widely accepted ‘psi’, which could be bothersome.
