2025 Toyota Fortuner - Powerful Turbo-Diesel Meets Hybrid Technology!
 
Picture this: A rugged SUV, built for adventure, now stepping into a new era of efficiency. The 2025 Toyota Fortuner is about to get a major upgrade that could change the game. Known for its off-road dominance, the Fortuner is now embracing cutting-edge hybrid technology. But here’s the catch – will this new tech reach all markets, or will some be left behind?
 
In South Africa, Toyota has already made waves with the introduction of a Fortuner that features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This impressive development combines a 48-volt battery with an electric motor-generator, working seamlessly alongside the Fortuner’s trusted 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. This hybrid setup promises up to a five percent improvement in fuel efficiency, which is no small feat for such a powerful and capable vehicle.
 
But what about the rest of the world? More specifically, will this new version of the Fortuner make its way to Australia? Right now, it’s hard to say. Although Australia has already seen similar mild-hybrid technology in models like the Toyota HiLux, and will soon experience it in the new 250-Series LandCruiser Prado, the future of the hybrid Fortuner remains uncertain for this market.
 
One of the key reasons for this uncertainty is the fact that the Fortuner and HiLux models sold in Australia are produced in Thailand. At this point, the Thai production line has yet to introduce the 48-volt mild-hybrid system into its Fortuner models. This leaves Australian drivers in suspense, not knowing whether they’ll be able to enjoy the fuel-saving benefits of this new hybrid system anytime soon.
 
The Fortuner has been a part of the Australian automotive landscape since 2015, and it received its most recent facelift and technology upgrades in 2020. Interestingly, the Fortuner’s design in Australia is slightly different from the one sold in South Africa, particularly when it comes to the front and rear styling. However, when it comes to performance, the new hybrid Fortuner in South Africa shares similarities with Australia’s HiLux V-Active. Both vehicles come with the same turbo-diesel engine, generating an impressive 150 kilowatts of power and 500 newton-meters of torque. One key difference is that while both the Fortuner and HiLux use a six-speed automatic transmission, the upcoming LandCruiser Prado will have an eight-speed automatic transmission, which should help further boost its efficiency.
 
Of course, all of this new technology comes at a cost. In South Africa, the hybrid Fortuner is priced around 11,000 Rand higher than the non-hybrid version, translating to about 900 dollars. This price difference is slightly more than what Australian buyers saw when the HiLux V-Active was released.
 
Despite its global popularity, the Fortuner faces some tough competition in Australia. Rivals like the Ford Everest and even Toyota’s own LandCruiser Prado have given it a run for its money in recent years. With no confirmed release date for the hybrid Fortuner in Australia, fans are left wondering if they’ll ever see this more eco-friendly, fuel-efficient version on their roads.
