Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive: Mild Hybrid SUV's Efficiency & Refinement Boost
The new Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive is a mild hybrid SUV that gets a little greener without losing its tough side.
It has a 48V mild-hybrid system that makes it more efficient and quieter, especially at low speeds.
The inside gets some updates like a 360-degree camera, but the price goes up a bit.
It's still a great off-roader, though.
