Toyota’s new turbo-petrol engine
Toyota had showcased a new 2.0-litre turbocharged-petrol engine earlier this year that is under development by the Japanese company. Rather than adopting a 100% EV approach, Toyota is betting on a future that makes use of ICE, EV technology, as well as hybrids. The said engine is expected to make its debut on the upcoming new generation of the popular Toyota Fortuner. The same is also likely to make its way to the Toyota Hilux pick-up truck.

Expected updates on the new Fortuner
The Toyota Fortuner has been there for almost two decades now and it has started to show its age despite several facelifts and generation changes. Toyota is working on a new generation of the Fortuner to give it much needed updates and changes over the outgoing generation to keep up with the market trends and consumer demands.
The third generation Toyota Fortuner is expected to get a fully revamped design both on the exterior as well as the interior. The interior is expected to feature a modern styling language along with premium materials and latest technological features to justify the high price of the SUV. Some of the expected features include a panoramic sunroof, a larger touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, 360-degree cameras, and ADAS functionalities.
