Toyota motors released recently test-drive the most sought-after vehicle named, the Toyota Fortuner in 2012. The Toyota Fortuner is one of a trio of vehicles based on the Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle (IMV) platform devised by the manufacturer in part to offer reasonably-priced cars that are easily adaptable to the particular conditions of the countries in which they are sold.
Toyota Fortuner model was powered by a 3.0-litre common-rail turbodiesel engine mated to a four-wheel drive automatic transmission. The gearshift lever supplied with this vehicle is it is very easy for a driver to disable overdrive– a sideways flick of the stick does the trick instead of the usual thumb-actuated button. This probably explains why I consumed more than my usual quota of diesel for my out-of-town foray with this SUV. The engine was smooth enough to be mistaken for a gasoline model, with hardly any vibrations being felt in the passenger cabin. It takes a while longer to stop on gentle braking, but that’s expected for a vehicle this size.
