Does the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder compromise its rear seat comfort compared to the competition?
A comfortable rear seat is a key point in the compact SUV segment for those buyers who often travel with family or friends. The Hyryder's rear seat space, features & design is often compared to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the like. Legroom, headroom, seat cushioning, backrest angle and rear AC and USB ports are being measured. That debate also extends to how the hybrid battery placement in some variants might encroach on rear seat comfort or boot space. There are some that claim that Toyota has sacrificed rear passenger comfort in the name of other things, and some that maintain that it's a good compromise for the size of car it is.
The rear seats are very comfortable. There is good legroom with the right backrest angle when flying for extended periods.
It's okay, but not great. Surely the rear legroom in the Creta is a lot more spacious and more comfortable too.
However, the hybrid battery doesn't seem to affect comfort too much, although it does eat into the boot space a bit.
The reclining rear seats are something I love. A feature you don’t often find in this segment and one that makes a world of difference on long trips.
Could be better seat cushioning. Some rivals feel a bit softer on longer drives.
It's fine for average sized adults. If you are tall or have a big family, it might be a bit cramped, though.
A nice touch are the rear AC vents, but I wish they’d thrown in some USB ports for the back passengers.
I am willing to compromise for the hybrid efficiency. You can't have everything in this size class.
Higher variants get a panoramic sunroof that makes the rear feel much more spacious and airy.
