What can we expect from the next-gen Toyota Fortuner? | TopGear PH

there’s a chance of the new-generation Toyota Fortuner making its world premiere sometime in 2026 for the 2027 model year. Just in time then for the all-new Mitsubishi Montero Sport.

Same pa din side profile mula b to d pillar. Parang heavy refresh.

yup. pati yung new Hilux and new Camry parang facelift lang.

Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan. Masikip parin sa loob tsaka baka retained ang side-folding seats sa third row ng fortuner. Bumukod na pala ang innova sa imv platform simula lumabas ang zenix kung ganun.

Parang ganun na nga.
Tanong lang, sa offerings ng Toyota sa ibang country such as Australia (Except ASEAN), inoffer pa rin ba nila tong side folding 3rd row seat?
Parang sa ASEAN lang ata inoffer to.

Meron pa sa pagkakaalam ko. Basta pag 7-seater, side folding talaga yan sa pinakalikod.

Don't expect the refreshed Fortuner's Diesel Hybrid option to be a fuel saver. And same as the "all-new" Hilux, it retains the current ladder type chassis.

The Toyota Hilux 48V is classified as a mild-hybrid (MHEV), which is why its primary function is providing electrical assistance rather than significant fuel savings compared to a full hybrid (HEV) like a Prius.

Torque Assist vs. Fuel Saving

The system is designed to enhance the driving characteristics of the 2.8L turbo diesel engine rather than fundamentally changing its fuel consumption:

Electric Torque Assistant: The system uses a motor-generator that provides an additional 16 hp (12 kW) of power and 65 Nm of torque. This "boost" is most active during initial acceleration and low-speed maneuvers.

Marginal Fuel Savings: Toyota claims a fuel efficiency improvement of only 5% to 10%. A large portion of this saving comes from an enhanced stop-start system that allows the engine to stay off longer during idling, rather than the electric motor driving the wheels.

No Electric-Only Mode: Unlike full hybrids, the Hilux cannot drive on battery power alone.


Removing Turbo Lag

The "torque assistant" description directly relates to how the system addresses the traditional weaknesses of a large diesel engine

Eliminating Lag: The electric motor provides instant torque from a standstill, filling the gap before the turbocharger spools up.

Smoother Power Delivery: By providing this immediate electrical kick, the transition to full turbo boost feels more linear and responsive, especially when overtaking or navigating off-road obstacles.

Refinement: The belt-driven starter-generator allows for much quieter and faster engine restarts compared to a conventional gear-driven starter motor.
