Toyota Fortuner 2009 - 2010

The Fortuner, Toyota's cheapest SUV, has

received a minor facelift, giving it a new face
and other minor detail updates. The Fortuner is
the product of Toyota's International Multi-
Purpose Project family, which also includes the
new Hilux pick-up and the Innova. These three
vehicles all share the new platform and are built
in Indonesia, so any thought about this Toyota
being purely Japanese is an allusion. Although
this 4WD is based on a pickup, its styling is very
softly finished, with none of its truck-like
toughness showing. It has true off-road ability,
thanks to four-wheel-drive with low-range
gearing. It also has space for five, or optionally
seven, and its value-packed price has attracted
families rather than desert junkies. The
Fortuner is available here with a 2.7-litre 4-
cylinder as well as two 4.0-litre V6 engines, one
with manual and a higher-torque one with the
