Toyota Fortuner 2012 4x2 MT

Toyota Fortuner is offerings 3.0L D-4D Diesel engine with intercooler turbocharger offers highest power (171PS) in mid-SUV segment and maximum torque of 343 Nm. The Fortuner leads its segment, but Toyota chose to upgrade it anyway. Gone are the plasticky fake wood inserts and in its place are beige plastics that are much better looking and better to touch as well. Gone is the green-backlit audio system, and in its place is a touchscreen DVD player. A reversing camera, new bumpers, lamp designs and a new grille are all part of the update. It’s been over 2 years since Toyota launched their SUV Fortuner in India and it has changed the entire scenario in the SUV market and 20lakh + segment. Even after such a long time, it is the bestselling car in its segment with selling over an average 900+ units a month, which is more than all the SUVs of that segment combined.The exteriors have received a whole bunch of transformations. The front end has received a Land Cruiser look and makes the car look more mature. The grill in the front looks more aggressive and the car looks meatier. The air dam has been changed and now it looks wider. The ground clearance is a massive 221mm, highly suited for our Indian roads. It has clear – lens type tail lamps, which look a bit out of place on a car like Fortuner. It also has self leveling projector headlights which are quite powerful. The amazing feature here is the Headlight Washer, which has dedicated switch of its own along with the windscreen wash function. This is very useful over long highway trips. The hood scope is now also larger and does justice to the muscularity of the car. The wheel arc design has some subtle changes too. It now has a 12 spoke wheel instead of the 6 spoke earlier. This I feel is to give more sportier look to the car, although I would prefer the 6 spoke wheel.
