Toyota Has Officially Unveiled the Toyota SW4 Hybrid, Equipped with MHEV Technology. The New Model Debuts Initially in South Africa, but Is Already Confirmed to Arrive in Brazil, Following the Steps of the Hilux Pickup, Which Also Adopted This Technology in Markets Such as Europe and Oceania. The Main Promise of the Brand Is a 5% Reduction in Fuel Consumption, Along with Improvements in Acceleration, Power, and Efficiency.
The New Toyota SW4 Hybrid Uses the MHEV System, Which Combines the Traditional 2.8 Turbo Diesel Engine with a 48-Volt Starter Generator. This Generator Is Connected to the Engine by a Durable Belt and Features a Compact Lithium-Ion Battery That Stores Energy Generated During Braking.
This Energy Is Used to Assist the Conventional Engine in Starting or Acceleration Situations, Reducing Emissions and Increasing Efficiency.
With the Same Power of 204 hp and Torque of 50.9 kgfm, the SUV Maintains the 6-Speed Automatic Transmission. Additionally, the Hybrid System Powers the Car’s Electrical Components When the Engine Is Off, Such as in Start&Stop Function, Enhancing Performance Without Compromising Robustness.
