The upcoming 2024 Toyota Fortuner is creating a buzz of excitement among enthusiasts in the automotive world. This popular midsize SUV from Toyota is set to receive a significant update, including some noteworthy enhancements that are sure to capture the hearts of SUV lovers.
One of the most prominent highlights of this update is the introduction of the Fortuner GR Sport variant. This particular version of the Fortuner takes center stage, boasting an impressive boost in its powertrain.
Specifically, its 1GD-FTV 2.8-liter inline-four turbo-diesel engine has undergone enhancements that result in a remarkable power output of 221 horsepower (hp) and a robust 550 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. This represents a substantial increase of 20 hp and 50 Nm when compared to the power figures of the current model.
The power generated by this enhanced engine is effectively harnessed and transmitted through a six-speed automatic gearbox. This gearbox is thoughtfully equipped with paddle shifters, allowing drivers to manually control gear changes for a more engaging driving experience.
Furthermore, the Fortuner GR Sport retains its part-time four-wheel drive (4X4) capability, ensuring that it maintains its off-road prowess and all-terrain capabilities.
