Toyota Fortuner Hybrid vs Regular: The biggest change in Toyota Fortuner Hybrid is seen in its 2.8-liter diesel engine, which is now paired with a 48V mild hybrid system. This setup consists of ISG (Integrated Starter Generator), which gives torque assist and smooth start-stop experience during driving.
This technology not only corrects power delivery but also makes throttle response more refined. The ISG system alone provides 16bhp power and 42Nm torque, while the total output remains 201bhp/500Nm. Due to this change, driving in traffic in the city is more smooth and balanced.
Better mileage
The biggest advantage of hybrid systems is better fuel efficiency. The company claims that MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Fortuner gives 5% more mileage than Normal Diesel Fortuner. Although its official mileage data has not been revealed so far, it is clear that the hybrid system saves fuel by reducing the load on the engine.
Refined nvh level and smooth gearsifying
Hybrid technology not only increases power, but also reduces the noise and vibration of the car. During the engine start-stop, there is less voice and vibration, which makes the ride quality better. Also, the gear shifts of the hybrid version are more smooth and refined than the diesel model. This means that every time the driver will feel less shock while changing the gear.
Updated instrument cluster
The cabin design and layout of Toyota Fortuner Hybrid is similar to the regular model, but its instrument cluster has been updated for special hybrids. It contains graphics such as battery charge status, power flow, and regeneration alert. Apart from this, smart safety features like Adas (Toyota Safety Sense) and 360-degree camera are also added to it (according to South Africa-Spec version). This new display not only makes the drive more interactive, but also shows real-time data of the vehicle position.
Weight and driving experience
The weight of Toyota Fortuner Hybrid is about 60-80 kg more than the regular model due to its battery pack and ISG unit. This version gives more comfortable and smooth ride on the city roads. Due to hybrid assist, starting torque gets more due to which the car looks more light and response in traffic.
If you want more mileage, smooth ride and new technology, then Fortuner hybrid may be a better option for you, but if your priority is only power and off-roading, then the regular Fortuner is still a great SUV.
