The new Toyota Fortuner facelift will come
with a more powerful 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel engine is what we’ve been hearing
until so far. In the latest, the specifications of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner 2.8
diesel have been unofficially revealed. According to a report from
Headlightmag.com, the new Toyota Fortuner facelift’s 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre diesel
engine will produce a maximum power of 204 PS and a maximum torque of 500 Nm.
This will mark an improvement of 27 PS and up to 80 Nm respectively.
The old Toyota Fortuner’s 1GD-FTV
2.8-litre diesel engine comes in two versions: 177 PS/420 Nm and 177 PS/450 Nm.
The 177 PS/420 Nm version is available with a 6-speed manual transmission,
while the 177 PS/450 Nm version is available with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
This engine is BS6 compliant. The old model is available with the BS6 2TR-FE
2.7-litre petrol engine that produces 166 PS and 245 Nm of torque as well. This
engine may have the same specifications in the new model.
In addition to a torquier and more
powerful diesel engine, the Toyota Fortuner will get a refreshed exterior
design, which we’ve already seen in spy shots. The new report says that the
changes brought with the mid-cycle update (in Thailand) will include Toyota
Safety Sense active safety technologies as well.
Toyota will launch the 2021 Fortuner first
in Thailand, on 4 June 2020 tomorrow.
