For many car buyers, build quality is a big thing, affecting perceptions of safety, durability and value. As a Toyota product, the Hyryder has to be built on the presumption of reliability and solid construction. But it has to contend with established Korean brands such as Hyundai and Kia, which have long histories of offering lots of features and improving build quality. The comparisons often involve things like panel gaps, paint quality, interior materials and how the doors and switchgear feel. The debate goes beyond long term durability but also how well each vehicle might age over time.
