This particular engine could be offered with outputs ranging from 160 to 200 horsepower and anything between 300 and 350 lb-ft of torque. The top of the range 2.8 liter diesel, which is usually available in most markets, as well as the rather old 3 liter turbocharged diesel, are likely to be replaced by a slightly more modern 2.8 liter unit with a revised turbocharger, a better cooling system and also more flexibility. This should be quite fuel efficient for its size and it should be able to run on LPG meaning that it might become a great seller for fleets. This engine is very similar to what the Tacoma has on the US market. The new model is expected to keep these engines unchanged but in Australia for example where the only available option is a 2.8 liter turbocharged diesel, some expect Toyota to introduce a new 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6. They range from a 2.7 liter in-line 4 petrol engine to a larger 4 liter V6 and ending up with three diesels, all means for completely different purposes. Depending on the market, the Fortuner comes with a lot of engines. The changes under the skin of the 2017 Toyota Fortuner will not stop to its running gear because what is usually under the hood is expected to be updated as well. The price will remain the same as before (34,800$ for the basic model) in most markets around the World but some expect a new high end model to be introduced in some parts of the World such as Australia where the Fortuner will have to compete with an updated Trailblazer. In order to solve that the car is expected to get slightly better shocks but still the same springs which will not make it any stiffer but it should become more compliant, both on and off the road. Main changes are expected on its suspension system which has been criticized by some as being too soft and unresponsive. The update is also expected to bring some changes under the skin of the Fortuner. Thanks to this engine Fortuner is now improved in both performance and fuel efficiency. When attached to manual gearbox it has the same amount of hp but torque changes to 420Nm. These figures stand when the named mill is mated to the automatic transmission. The all-new diesel unit powering 2017 Toyota Fortuner is now an all-new 2.8-liter GD engine which can produce 177bhp and 450nm of torque.
The changes were many, but we would like to start with the on which happened under the bonnet. Thanks to platform shift this SUV is both wider and longer from its predecessor.
Fortuner SUV is one of the first vehicles that was transferred on Toyota’s Global Platform (TNGA).
The next generation vehicle that we now have on our hands didn’t just undergo changes on exterior and interior, but it was also changed under the hood. UPDATE: For a long time, it seemed that this SUV from Toyota was losing the battle with time, but Japanese manufacturer surprised us with an all new 2017 Toyota Fortuner.
