Toyota’s plans to slowly electrify its model lineup are coming together with more information about the possible specifications for the upcoming Toyota Fortuner hybrid being released. Reports have indicated that the Fortuner hybrid will still use its 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, but will be combined with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.

The Coldplay reference in the headline is for the photo of the enormous panoramic moonroof that Toyota Indonesia posted on its official Facebook page on Nov. 14, 2022.

The Innova in the photo also features what se

Hands down, it looks good, it drives well, it's spacious, and it can bring seven people from place to place.
