2025 Toyota Fortuner Hybrid: The Fuel-Efficient Beast We’re Waiting For!
Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re diving into some exciting updates on the 2025 Toyota Fortuner. This rugged SUV is gearing up for a serious evolution, with a fresh focus on fuel efficiency thanks to Toyota's advanced 48-volt mild-hybrid system. But here’s the big question: will we actually see this tech make it to Australia?
So, here’s what’s happening. Toyota South Africa has just rolled out a new version of the Fortuner featuring this innovative 48-volt mild-hybrid setup. This system combines a 48-volt battery and an electric motor-generator with Toyota’s reliable 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The result? Up to a five percent boost in fuel efficiency—pretty impressive for an SUV that’s built to take on challenging terrains.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Australia already has this mild-hybrid tech in the Toyota HiLux, and it’s coming soon to the new LandCruiser Prado. But for the Fortuner? That’s still uncertain. Why? Well, the Fortuners and HiLux models sold in Australia are produced in Thailand, and so far, the mild-hybrid system hasn’t been introduced to Fortuner production lines there. This leaves Australian fans eagerly waiting to see if, or when, they’ll get to experience this eco-friendly upgrade.
Let’s talk performance. This 48-volt Fortuner delivers the same power and torque as Australia’s HiLux V-Active—150 kilowatts and 500 newton-meters, ensuring it’s a beast both on and off the road. And while both use a six-speed automatic transmission, the upcoming Prado will feature an eight-speed, offering even more fuel efficiency.
Of course, a hybrid version means a bit of a price bump. In South Africa, the 48V Fortuner costs about 11,000 Rand more than the standard model, roughly 900 dollars extra. Pricing could be similar if it arrives in Australia.
With competition heating up from rivals like the Ford Everest and even Toyota’s own Prado, it’ll be interesting to see if this hybrid Fortuner can make a splash. For now, Aussie fans will have to wait and see. Thanks for tuning in, and stay subscribed for more car reviews and updates!
