The Toyota Fortuner balances power and fuel economy. With two different engines across its variants, let’s find out what’s under the hood of the Toyota Fortuner.

Across the variants of the Fortuner are two engines that drive the best selling PPV of Toyota. Let’s start with the engine from the G and A variants. Under their hood is a 2.4-liter 2DG-FTV Diesel Engine. This produces 148 horsepower and 400 newton meters of torque. This is actually not too bad at all. In terms of fuel economy, this engine can consume 9 to 12 kilometers per liter, while on the highway, it can convert your single liter of diesel to a whopping 21 kilometers. Of course, these figures are taken from the engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The same engine is also paired with a similar 6-speed manual transmission. Perhaps, some Fortuner owners can argue that the manual transmission is more fuel efficient than the automatic, but of course driving habits, route, road condition, the weather, and the like also come to play.

The second engine for the Q and the LTD variant, as well as the GR-S, is the much bigger 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV Diesel Engine. Notice that there is no gasoline engine in the Fortuner line-up, so be careful when gassing up. This engine produces a monster 202 horsepower and 500 newton meters of torque, close to what its competitor PPVs produce. The fuel economy of this engine is slightly lower, of course, and slightly worse if on the LTD variant which is a 4x4. The numbers vary but a respectable 8 to 10 kilometers by the liter in the city, and a 17 kilometers per liter on the highway is actually not bad at all.

With these engines, the Fortuner, unlike its competitors, offer an array of choices for all clients and potential buyers. You can actually choose which Fortuner is for you, just like any Toyota car with its numerous variants. When choosing a car, engine output and fuel economy is on the top of anyone’s list but for the Fortuner, it’s not too hard to choose because which way you go, the balance of power and fuel economy can be achieved.
