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.

Design-wise, the hybrid variants remain unchanged, except for the new “Neo Drive” badge on the tailgate. 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.
