Amidst growing environmental awareness, demand for electric cars has rapidly increased in the Indian automobile market, as their running costs are significantly lower than those of petrol or diesel cars. Strong hybrid cars have emerged as a promising alternative, running on the combined power of both petrol and battery without the hassle of charging, and delivering even better mileage than diesel.
This is why five hybrid cars, including the Toyota Innova Highcross and Maruti Victoris, set new sales records in April alone, challenging the reign of electric cars in the country.
Toyota Innova Hycross

The Toyota Innova Hycross, the most popular premium 7-seater MPV in the Indian market, has once again retained its title as the country’s number one best-selling hybrid car. Toyota prices the strong hybrid variants of this powerful MPV from ₹26.76 lakh to ₹31.84 lakh, ex-showroom. The 2.0-liter petrol-hybrid engine at its heart not only delivers unmatched refinement but also delivers a robust mileage of 23.24 kilometers per liter, despite its massive size. This is the key to its tremendous success.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, which has been a key driver of Toyota’s fortunes in the mid-size SUV segment, emerged as the country’s second-best-selling hybrid car in April.
Toyota offers the Strong Hybrid model of this SUV at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹16.77 lakh, with the top variant going up to ₹19.99 lakh. Its biggest USP is its impressive certified mileage of 27.97 km/L. In heavy city traffic, the car runs solely on the power of its lithium-ion battery for most of the time, resulting in minimal petrol costs.
Maruti Suzuki Victoris
The all-new and powerful SUV Maruti Suzuki Victoris, sold from Maruti Suzuki’s Arena showroom, has surprised everyone by securing the third position in the hybrid segment. The Maruti Suzuki Victor, which has achieved a strong 5-star safety rating in the India NCAP crash test, has ex-showroom prices starting from ₹16.38 lakh and going up to ₹19.99 lakh for its Strong Hybrid variants.
Equipped with modern gadgets like Level-2 Aidas safety, a panoramic sunroof, and an Infinity Harman 8-speaker sound system, this SUV delivers a top-notch fuel economy of 28.65 km/l with the e-CVT automatic gearbox, making it the most advanced vehicle in its segment.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, a popular mid-size SUV at Nexa showrooms, has secured fourth place in this race of hybrid cars. Ex-showroom prices for the Grand Vitara’s Strong Hybrid variants, which can easily navigate the rough terrain of Indian roads, start at ₹18.82 lakh and go up to ₹20.26 lakh.
Built on the same architecture as the Toyota Hyrider, this SUV also offers an excellent fuel efficiency of 27.97 kmpl, completely freeing drivers from the hassle of frequent fuel pump stops during long journeys.
Maruti Suzuki Invicto
Maruti Suzuki’s most expensive and premium three-row hybrid MPV, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, completes the top five. Built on the same strong platform as the Toyota Innova Highcross, the strong hybrid variants of this luxury MPV are priced between ₹24.97 lakh and ₹28.61 lakh, ex-showroom.
Offering immense cabin comfort with captain seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a quiet riding experience, this premium vehicle is ideal for long VIP journeys for large families and offers an excellent mileage of 23.24 kmpl, which is truly a boon for a vehicle of this size.
