Toyota Fortuner Engine Specifications
Two powertrain options are available with the Toyota Fortuner: a 2.7L petrol engine and a 2.8L turbocharged diesel engine. Both are tremendously powerful and highly reliable. Additionally, they are available in both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains. The diesel engine with the 6-speed sequential gear shift delivers 500 Nm of torque, and 420 Nm with a manual transmission. Also, this is the same engine used in the Toyota Hilux. Let's check out the details in the table below.

| Power | 163.60 Ps | 201.15 Ps |
| Torque | 245 Nm | 420 Nm / 500 Nm |

Toyota Fortuner Variants
4X2 Petrol
The base model of the Toyota Fortuner costs Rs 33.43 lakh ex-showroom and comes with a 2WD system. In comparison with the diesel models, it is Rs 2 lakh cheaper and has slightly fewer features. It is best for people who have less commute and rarely take it off-road. The mileage of this engine is poor, but it is very smooth and has significantly fewer vibrations than the diesel one. Check out the features Toyota adds in this variant.

4X2 Petrol AT
The 4X2 Petrol AT is one of the highest-selling Toyota Fortuner models. Opting for the 6-speed automatic is a smart choice, considering its smooth gear shifts and the ease it provides when driving such a large vehicle. Buying a manual could turn into a nightmare, especially for city driving, because the Fortuner already offers a raw feel and comes with a hydraulic steering wheel, which is weighty. Managing a hefty steering wheel along with a manual gearbox will deteriorate the fun of driving this SUV.
To get 4X2 Petrol AT, Toyota asks for Rs 35.02 lakh before taxes, and there is no 4X4 option with the petrol engine. Moreover, there is no difference in features between the manual and automatic variants.
4X2 Diesel
Enter the manual diesel model, which is the reason behind the stupendous success of the Fortuner in India. It makes 201 PS and 420 Nm of torque and uses a 6-speed manual transmission with iMT. The asking price of the 4X2 Diesel manual is Rs 35.93 lakh ex-showroom. Now, let's check the features Toyota has added over the petrol models.
| 4X2 Diesel |
| Driving Modes: ECO / NORMAL / SPORT Mode |

| Automatic Idling Stop/Start Function (AT) |
| Smart Watch Connect, Siri Voice Assistant (iOS) |
| 8.0 DA Touch Screen Audio |
| Leather Seats* with Perforation |
4x2 Diesel AT
The waiting period for this variant is 2 months, and it costs Rs 38.12 lakh before taxes. There is no difference in terms of features between the manual and automatic versions. However, the torque is 500 Nm due to the 6-speed sequential shift automatic gearbox.
4X4 Diesel And 4X4 Diesel AT
Discover roads less traveled and find routes even Google Maps can't locate with the help of the 4X4 drivetrain, which is available with High (H4) and Low (L4) Range gears and lockable differentials. Owners are often seen on mountain peaks or crossing rivers just for fun. Also, if you're not fond of off-roading, you can use 4X4 on highways and experience unmatched grip on the wheels.
The price before tax for this trim is Rs 40.03 lakh, with a waiting period of around 40 days. Let's check the features offered with this variant. Additionally, the next variant is the automatic version, which generates 500 Nm of torque. There is no difference in terms of mechanics and features between the 4X4 diesel and the 4X4 diesel automatic versions.

Verdict
The Toyota Fortuner will go down in the history of Indian automobiles as a pinnacle figure, loved for its performance, road presence, and reliability. Yes, it is way behind when it comes to features compared to rivals like the MG Gloster and Jeep Meridian, but people who purchase it dont really care about that. However, it is rumored that the Fortuner will get a generation update next year, and we can expect this car to include all the features that are missing in the current model.
