Yup. But I'm nit sure why to make a new 2L turbo. Maybe the 8ar isn't good enough compared to their dynamic force set up. I doubt this new turbo would come to North America anyways.
4th Generation Toyota Highlander (and Grand Highlander) Thread

The Highlander D-4ST test mule have been spotted for a while, but everyone expected it to carry over the 8AR-FTS. Designing an engine specifically for ChDM is weird to me, since pure ICEVs won't have much life time left anyway. Maybe this will also appear in a hybridized form in the future (e.g. replace 2.4T in 500h with 2.0T to make 450h).
Displacement tax.
I could see a scenario where the T24 ends up in larger SUVs and the S20 ends up in sedans and smaller SUVs. S20 might be a good fit in the Camry, ES, IS, Rav4, and UX.

I don't quite see the point of the S20 in the US. The Camry, ES, IS, Rav4, and UX can have 240hp just by way of doing the A25 hybrid with far better gas mileage.
Agreed

Greeting LE's friends! GAC-Toyota have start announce some detail for 2.0T version ChDM Highlander, in preview article, the 2.0T highlander badged "380T", it mean S20A spec are almost clear, 248PS power and 380Nm torque.
In article GAC-Toyota said it pair with "new extended gear shift ratio 8AT in first time", that need nameplate check when they invite media or send demo car in dealership.

In China, 8AR have detuned to 220PS in last gen. Highlander and 235PS in CN-Spec RX300/NX300, only in FR platform can output 240+
What's more important is that the S20 is an "imported" engine. This could mean it's not limited to ChDM. Next-gen Camry could be a good candidate to receive it replacing the V6.
I also wonder whether this "extended ratio 8AT" is just to reduce fuel consumption for CAFE compliance.

I don't see the S20 going into Camry. They can get the Camry to 240hp by just using newer/more powerful hybrid systems with the A25.
Yea. I see camry's top powertrain to be T24 or a PHEV maybe with M20A
