New 2018 TOYOTA FORTUNER Review Design

SECOND GENERATION

The second generation was released in July 2015 in Thailand and Australia while in Indonesia it came out six months later.TOYOTA wanted to distinct FORTUNER from Hilux since these two uses “Keen Look” Design and had almost the same interior. They also used the same transmission,engines, and chassis. 2016 model came in three trim levels: G, VRZ, and SRZ. The last two were introduced instead of TRD Sportivo and have some additional features. We can’t expect that 2018 model will bring anything revolutionary, but it surely deserves our attention. Although there is still a lot of time until its release some speculations have already appeared. .

PRICE AND RELEASE DATE

toyota fortuner 2018 is probably going to be released in the last quarter of 2017. However, it is likely that TOYOTA will present new Fortuner before the end of 2017. The price of the 2018 model will go up to $55,000, but lower trims are going to have a lower price.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR REVIEW

Several minor modifications are expected but, as we have already said, nothing extreme. The small horizontal grille is going to be placed on front fascia while large air intake should be in the center of the bonnet. 2018 Toyota Fortuner comes with both fog lights and LED daytime running lights. They are placed on each side of the front bumper. Color palette should be larger than before with several additional colors. In general, exterior won’t be changed. However, headlights might be redesigned.

2018 Toyota Fortuner Engine lineup

Current model comes with five different powertrains and we assume some of them will be used under the hood of the 2018 toyota fortuner. Since there are no indications new engines will be developed for this model, we put our focus only on present engines. The base engine should be a 2.4-liter inline-4 diesel. As almost all other units this one also comes with either six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission system. It delivers 149 horsepower and either 253 or 300 lb-ft of torque (it depends on the transmission). Although this is the base unit it should meet everyone’s demands. In addition, the 2.4l has the best fuel economy in the lineup.
