Toyota has already released pricing for its Hilux MHEV offerings, which is powered by the same powertrain as the new Fortuner MHEV models. The Fortuner MHEV relies on the familiar 2.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine that is already employed in most models with the Fortuner range. The power and torque output of the diesel mill’s 150kW/500Nm remains unchanged, however, the addition of a battery pack and electric motor add 12kW and 65Nm for a combined output of 162kW and 565Nm.

The ICE powerplant in the new models will feature Toyota’s 48V technology that will likely improve fuel economy. The range-topping 2.8-litre diesel-equipped Fortuner model offers consumers a fuel consumption figure of 7.6L/100 km. The Hilux derivative bearing the MHEV badge is said to benefit from a 10% reduction in fuel consumption.
