BRITS POS – BRITS – Intertoy Toyota in De Boer Street, Brits is proud to introduce the new Mild Hybrid variants of the ‘48V’ Hilux and Fortuner as South Africa’s most loved bakkie and SUV redefines the essence of adventure, setting a new standard for eco-conscious motoring.
In a world where sustainability and efficiency are becoming increasingly paramount, automotive giants are continually innovating to meet the demands of both consumers and the environment.
Toyota, renowned for its pioneering strides in hybrid technology, is once again at the forefront with its latest offerings: the Mild Hybrid variants of the Hilux bakkie and Fortuner SUV.
The Mild Hybrid powertrain integrates seamlessly with the robust 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine, offering a +5% improvement in performance and efficiency.
At the heart of these hybrid systems lies a 48V battery, delivering auxiliary power with a punch of 12kW output and 65Nm of torque.
This improves throttle response as well as smoother acceleration. Regenerative braking ensures efficient energy utilization, translating into a more natural deceleration experience, which in turn should extend the life-span of the brake pads and discs.
One of the standout features of the Mild Hybrid Hilux is its support for Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), a game-changer for off-road enthusiasts.
Offering five pre-set options including dirt, sand, mud, deep snow, or rock, MTS optimizes vehicle stability control settings according to specific terrain conditions, enhancing traction and manoeuvrability. The Toyota Hilux, known for its durability and versatility, seamlessly integrates the 48V hybrid technology without sacrificing its legendary toughness. However, it’s crucial to distinguish these mild hybrid systems from Toyota’s renowned Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) found in models like the Corolla Cross and RAV4.
In the case of the Fortuner, Toyota’s family SUV receives a stylish makeover coupled with the innovative 48V hybrid system.
With redesigned features such as a sleeker exterior, newly crafted alloy wheels, and advanced active safety upgrades, the Fortuner 48V promises an enhanced driving experience.
The inclusion of downhill assist control (DAC) further ensures a smoother ride across diverse terrains, reaffirming the Fortuner’s legacy of toughness and reliability.
Toyota’s introduction of Mild Hybrid variants for the Hilux and Fortuner signifies a bold step towards sustainable mobility without compromising on power, performance, and reliability.
