Can anyone explain to me what's the point of Toyota's 2.4L turbo i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain? The gas consumption is the same as the non-hybrid BMW i6 B58 in X5 or even X7, but slower, more complicated, takes more space, can't be plugged-in and requires premium gas. I do get old high MPG and slow 2.5L hybrids, but new i-FORCE MAX hybrid striggle to deliver any MPG improvements compared BMW I6s. Does this make any sense or we are just spoiled by awesome BMW powertrains? Maybe emissions, CAFE?
BTW, love the styling Tacoma/4Runner styling and physical controls.
