Chronology
Predecessor

The Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are subcompact crossover SUVs (B-segment)[4] developed by Suzuki and produced by Toyota in India since 2022.[5][6] The Urban Cruiser Hyryder was released in July 2022 in India ahead of the Grand Vitara. It is available with a range of mild and strong hybrid petrol powertrains. The Grand Vitara replaced the S-Cross in India, while the Urban Cruiser Hyryder indirectly replaced the smaller Urban Cruiser, a rebadged Vitara Brezza. In 2023, the Toyota-badged model was released as the Toyota Urban Cruiser in South Africa and the Middle East.[7]
