[5] Toyota have been using it to replace the naturally-aspirated 2GR-FKS V6, offering more peak torque at lower speeds and improved fuel consumption and emissions with the turbo engine.

For longitudinal engine applications (marketed as "i-FORCE MAX" in North America), a single traction assist/generator motor is sandwiched between the engine and transmission, taking the place of a conventional automatic transmission torque converter.

Pumping losses have been reduced by electrification of the waste gate of the twin turbo system.

[17] A hybrid version (marketed as "i-FORCE MAX" in North America) is also available with the same engine designation as the regular variant.

[18] A number of customers have reported main bearing failures in 2022 and 2023 vehicles equipped with the V35A-FTS engine, with mileage as little as 40,000 km (25,000 miles).
