2015 Toyota Fortuner SUV revealed01:57 - Cars Guide
Toyota Fortuner set to take on Everest, MU-X, Challenger and Colorado 7 in the Australian ute-based SUV segment. Toyota has taken the wraps off the all-new second-generation Fortuner today, with the HiLux-based SUV being revealed simultaneously in Bangkok and Sydney. Under that bonnet will be the same 2. 8-litre 1GD-FTV turbodiesel from the new HiLux and upcoming Prado update. Like the HiLux, the130kW unit will produce 450Nm in six-speed manual guise, but 420Nm with the six-speed torque converter automatic. Toyota has confirmed that all Australian Fortuners will be four-wheel drive, and expects manual models to return less than 8. 0L/100km on the combined cycle. The Fortuner’s full-size spare wheel is mounted under the rear, limiting undercarriage space to an 80-litre fuel tank – unlike the Prado’s 150-litre dual-tank setup. The Fortuner does beat the Prado for ground clearance by 5mm, with a running figure of 225mm also beating the Kluger by a full 25mm. Like Toyota’s existing off-roaders, the Fortuner carries a 700mm wading depth rating. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
