Toyota Fortuner Facelift Revealed - Styling Changes, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, More Power
In the BSVI form, the Toyota Fortuner keeps the old 2.7-litre petrol engine and the 2.8-litre diesel engine, albeit, in updated versions to meet the new standards. Even with the adoption of the new BSVI updates, the power outputs of these engines remain unchanged. The petrol engine is capable of making a maximum power of 166 PS and 245 Nm of peak torque. This engine is available with two choices of transmissions, a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. On the other hand, the 2.8-litre diesel engine is powerful enough to churn out 177 PS of top power. However, the torque figure of the diesel engine depends on the gearbox choice. If the diesel engine is mated to the manual transmission, the maximum torque is rated at 420 Nm. For the automatic version, the peak torque stands at 450 Nm.
