Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.12L more for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: 360° camera, all-wheel disc brakes and sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane). The useful extras on top: touchscreen (9" against 8") and powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra Scorpio-N seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Scorpio-N Z8T is the strongest of the two at 203 PS
- Also on the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: head-up display, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and regenerative braking, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid, you give up hill descent control, dual-zone climate control and front parking sensors, which the Scorpio-N Z8T keeps
- Choose the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8T if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.12L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
