The hybrid setup gets a small battery pack and an electric motor to help the engine with a quick boost of 16PS and 65Nm for an effortless drive. With the inclusion of an idle start/stop technology, it aids in achieving better fuel economy, especially in city usage. The battery also recharges when you slow down, so it always has enough power.

Regarding features, the SUV now comes equipped with a 360-degree camera and wireless charger, both are dealer-level fitments. Unfortunately, Toyota has removed the ventilated seat function for mild-hybrid variants.
