The Toyota SUV's 1.5-litre TNGA Atkinson Cycle engine cranks out a maximum power output of 92bhp and 122Nm of peak torque when mated to an eCVT transmission. Together, the engine and electric motor generate 114bhp, with the motor contributing 79bhp along with 141Nm of torque. The manufacturer claims that the potent hybrid drivetrain offers a fuel efficiency of 27.97km/l. Notably, a 117.6V lithium-ion battery powers the setup.

The Neo Drive motor can be coupled with either the six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox or the five-speed manual gearbox. This results in a maximum output of 103bhp and 137Nm of peak torque.
