AutoExec Summary
The Toyota Fortuner SUV has gained mild-hybrid turbo-diesel power in South Africa, but it is not yet confirmed for Australia. The 48V system offers up to five per cent fuel savings, but it is unclear if the Thai-built vehicles will get the technology. The cost of the mild-hybrid tech in the Fortuner is about $900, which is steeper than the price increase for the HiLux V-Actives in Australia. The Fortuner was one of Toyota’s slowest-selling models in Australia last year.
