The Toyota Hyryder also has a 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol engine from Suzuki.

• As a 100% electric vehicle, the Tata Nexon EV MAX provides higher power and torque. For obvious reasons, it also provides faster acceleration.

• The Toyota Hyryder provides a class-leading fuel efficiency of about 28kmpl thanks to self-charging hybrid technology, resulting in a full tank range of over 1200 kilometers. The Tata Nexon EV MAX, on the other hand, claims a maximum range of 437km on a single charge, which is about one-third the range of the Hyryder.

• If you use public charging stations, the EV will cost you about half the price of the Hyryder. Using a home charger will further reduce overall operating costs.

Note: Please keep in mind that the above estimates are based on reported mileage/range figures, which may vary in real-world driving conditions. For comparison, the Tata Nexon EV MAX has an actual driving range of 250-320 km per charge. In contrast, the Hyryder's strong-hybrid models can achieve fuel efficiency of roughly 25-26kmpl if you'll be a little gentle on the throttle.

The Tata Nexon EV MAX is shorter than the Toyota Hyryder because it belongs to the sub-4m class. However, because the battery pack is located in the boot, the baggage volume of the Hyryder is comparable to that of certain compact hatchbacks.

CarBike360 Says

The feature-rich Toyota Hyryder Hybrid gets outstanding mileage and provides excellent value for money. It appears to be a great link between ICE and electric automobiles. EVs, on the other hand, may be the future, but range anxiety is a major problem, and the Nexon EV MAX is no exception.

Look no further than the Toyota Hyryder's strong-hybrid version for the best mileage/liter. Nonetheless, if you require a car mostly for urban purposes and wish to contribute to a greener planet, the Nexon EV MAX should be considered.
