Tried & Tested Powerful “GD” Engine Range

The Fortuner’s powerful four-cylinder, 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine produces 150 kW of power @ 3400 r/min and 500 Nm of torque @ 1600-2800 r/min, providing maximum tractability across a broad range of revs that’s tailor-made for touring or towing.

The 2.8 range is exclusively available with the six-speed automatic paddle-shift transmission, which is optimized with a balance shaft to reduce booming and vibrations under idling and accelerating.

If you prefer a manual transmission, the 2.4-liter engine is available with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, developing 110 kW of power @ 3400 r/min and 400 Nm of torque @ 1600-2000 r/min. Both models have a high-efficiency turbocharger and intercooler that delivers exceptional fuel economy under all driving conditions.

The Style Department

But the Fortuner is not just about performance. It’s also a vehicle that has been designed to make a statement on the road. The vehicle’s modern elegance shines through with newly designed automatic-levelling LED headlamps, colour-coded bumpers, and LED-powered rear lights and fog lamps. And for ultimate exclusivity, 2.8l models can be ordered in a special bi-tone Platinum White Pearl.

The interior of the Fortuner is just as impressive as its exterior. The leather seats are now trimmed in a stately black-and-maroon colour combination, and the driver and front passenger seats are heated and electrically adjustable.

Practicality comes standard with access from the second to the third row of seats made easy with a one-touch mechanism, and ISOFIX child seat anchors on either side of the second row add to its functionality. All models are fitted with split front/rear air conditioning, which is automatically controlled in the 2.8l models.

“Radar” Powered Safety

The Fortuner VX model also features next-generation Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) that uses a radar to scan the road ahead up to ten times per second. This feature allows the vehicle to match the speed of the vehicle in front of it and automatically maintain one of four pre-set distances. It can even slow down to a complete stop if necessary and accelerate again thereafter with no intervention needed from the driver.

Other Safety and Security Technologies

The Fortuner comes with advanced security features such as smart entry, wireless door locking, intrusion sensor, alarm, immobilizer, and ultrasonic glass breaking sensor. Doors will automatically lock upon pull-away at certain speeds. The vehicle also features driver assistance technologies, including blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
