5 Missing Features In Kia Seltos Over Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder | V3Cars
Toyota recently revealed their all-new Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrid SUV for our market. The new offering from Toyota rivals other C-Segment SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq.

We pit the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder against the Kia Seltos to tell you 5 features that are missing in the Seltos but present in the Hyryder.
1. Panoramic Sunroof
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes with a panoramic sunroof whereas the Kia Seltos gets a regular-sized sunroof. However, the Kia Setlos offers a voice command feature for sunroof operation, which is something missing in the Toyota.
2. Mild- And Strong Hybrid Powertrains
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes with 1.5L mild-hybrid and 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain options. While Toyota are yet to reveal the claimed fuel efficiency figures for both engine options, we expect them to lead the segment. The Kia Seltos, on the other hand, offers a diverse range of engine options but none offer any kind of hybridisation.

The standard features include keyless entry with push-button start/stop, rear armrest, 3-point seatbelt for all passengers, telescopic steering, 17-inch wheels, auto AC, 60:40 split seats, PM 2.5 air purifier, rear disc brakes, electronic stability control and hill-start assist.
