Toyota Fortuner A Hilux Based SUV

-


The Toyota Fortuner is a medium-sized SUV based on the Toyota Hilux. Assembled only in Thailand, the Fortuner is built on the well-established platform of the Toyota Hilux pickup truck. It features three rows of seats and is available in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive among others. The Fortuner is part of Toyota's IMV project in Thailand, which also includes the Toyota Hilux and the Innova(in Indonesia). The car was designed in Thailand by Thai and Japanese engineers.

A number of engine options are available depending on the country of sale, including a 2.7 liter 2TR-FE and 4.0 liter 1GR-FE V6 petrol with Variable Valve Timing and 2.5 2KD-FTV and 3.0 1KD-FTV common rail variable geometry turbocharger Diesel models.

Trim levels are G and G Luxury for rear-wheel drive diesel and gasoline, and V for four-wheel drive Diesel and gasoline. The common rail turbo intercooled diesel has functional scoop on its hood.

In 2007 Toyota Thailand dropped the four-wheel drive gasoline model and replaced it with a two-wheel drive gasoline version.

This car is the best selling in its category (SUV/PPV) in the Philippines and Thailand.

Withing 9 months of its release in India, Toyota Fortuner broke sale records and Pre delivery stats.

The Fortuner is not offered outside South East Asia (including Middle East, Americas, Japan, Africa), but the Hilux Surf, which is also based on Hilux platform, replaces it.
