Toyota Fortuner Hybrid Review: Quicker and More Efficient
The Toyota Fortuner, a large SUV, has added a hybrid system to make it run better.
This means it's now quicker when you start driving and has more power for going off-road.
The hybrid version comes in two top-level diesel versions, not the GRS.
Although it's still big and heavy, the hybrid helps with how it feels on the road and off-road.
The hybrid version has a terrain selector for different terrains, offering increased efficiency with around 43km more range on a full tank.
However, the hybrid system takes up space, so ventilated seats are no longer included.
Toyota has introduced a hybrid system for the Fortuner to improve its performance.
The hybrid system is available in the top-spec Fortuner and Legender diesel 4x4 variants.
The hybrid system enhances acceleration and provides more torque during off-roading.
The hybrid version offers improved mileage, with ~43km more range on a full tank compared to the non-hybrid version.
Hybrid versions don't have ventilated seats due to the space used by the hybrid system's battery.
