Dear Drive… Will we ever see a hybrid LandCruiser?

Of course, broad scale electrification of vehicles in Australia is for the most part inevitable. However, large SUVs, utes and four-wheel drives will hold onto their internal combustion powertrain for as long as anything else. This is because off-roading, towing and load-lugging is much more demanding on a powertrain, and the simple fact is a straight diesel powertrain is quite effective at getting the job done.
