2025 Toyota Fortuner Hybrid Revealed - Next-Level Efficiency for Every Journey! • Toyota is taking another step forward with its Fortuner SUV by introducing mild-hybrid technology, similar to its HiLux ute counterpart. However, this fuel-saving innovation is not yet confirmed for the Australian market. This week, Toyota South Africa rolled out the Fortuner 48V model, featuring a 48-volt battery, an electric motor-generator, and other components that work together with its 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The result is an impressive claimed fuel efficiency improvement of up to five percent. • In Australia, the same hybrid technology has already made its debut in the Toyota HiLux V-Active and will be featured in the upcoming 250-Series LandCruiser Prado. Despite this, the fate of the mild-hybrid Fortuner in Australia remains uncertain. Toyota Australia has yet to confirm whether it will introduce this version locally. One of the key factors is that while the Fortuner 48V is produced in South Africa for its domestic market, Australia sources its Fortuner and HiLux models from Thailand. The Thai production line has not yet incorporated this mild-hybrid system into the Fortuner, leaving a question mark over its availability. • The Fortuner has been a part of the Australian automotive landscape since 2015, receiving a significant facelift and technology updates in 2020. Interestingly, the models sold in Australia have distinct front and rear designs compared to those offered in South Africa. The South African Fortuner 48V delivers the same 150 kilowatts of power and 500 newton-meters of torque as Australia’s HiLux V-Active, with both vehicles powered by the same turbo-diesel engine. This engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system. However, both the South African Fortuner and the Australian HiLux V-Active miss out on the eight-speed automatic transmission that will be available in the new LandCruiser Prado, which could offer even better fuel efficiency. • The mild-hybrid technology in the Fortuner comes with a price increase of around 11,000 South African Rand, approximately 900 dollars. This is notably higher than the price increase seen with the HiLux V-Active in Australia. Despite its global presence, the Fortuner has struggled in the Australian market, with sales lagging behind competitors like the Ford Everest and even the outgoing Prado. • Disclaimer: • The information in this video is based on topics that are being explored in various media.
