Other features include 18 inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, push button engine start, front/rear fog lights, 7 airbags (dual front – side – knee – inflatable curtain), ABS with EBD, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), traction control, Hill Assist Control (HAC) and an emergency light system, amongst others.We can’t say we’re surprised to see that Toyota’s next-generation 2016 Fortuner has been nabbed completely undisguised after it was discovered partially covered on a transport truck on Thursday.įor those of you who are not familiar with the Fortuner, it’s a rugged SUV version of Toyota’s Hilux pickup truck offered in select Asian markets, including Thailand, where it was caught here on camera.ĭespite its tough underpinnings, the new Fortuner has a modern exterior that incorporates Toyota’s – and some would say, Lexus’ too – SUV styling elements.Ī leaked brochure shot gives us a look at the interior that comes with a modified version of the new Hilux’s dashboard featuring a different center console design.
The 6-speed manual transmission will only be offered on the entry-level diesel model, while the rest get a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Only the top-spec 2.8V diesel variant of the new Fortuner will get the four-wheel drive system, while the rest will come in a rear-wheel drive configuration. The variants of the 2016 Toyota Fortuner include the 2.4G 4×2 6MT, 2.4V 4×2 6AT, 2.8V 4×2 6AT and a 2.8V 4×4 6AT. While the diesel models come in a variety of transmission and drive configurations, the petrol model only comes in one configuration, namely – 2.7V 4×2 6AT. Internationally, the new Fortuner will be available with range of two diesels and one petrol engines – a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit (2GD-FTV) that will make 150 horsepower and 343 Nm of torque, a 2.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor (1GD-FTV) that will produce 177 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque (450 Nm in a different state of tune) and a 2.7-litre four-cylinder VVT-i petrol unit will develop 122 horsepower and 245 Nm of twist. Apropos to being a proper, old-school SUV, the new Fortuner will continue with a new ladder frame chassis which would be lighter and stiffer than the outgoing version and should make for better off-road prowess. The next generation Fortuner will be based on a reworked version of Toyota’s Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle (IMV) platform.
Before its international reveal on 17 July, barely disguised examples of the 2016 Toyota Fortuner has been spotted on a flatbed in Thailand.
