Toyota Fortuner Overview
The Toyota Fortuner is the best selling midsize SUV in the Philippines. This ladder-frame vehicle has been around since the early 2000s and has since become a household name thanks to its rugged platform and tested durability thanks to its robust platform and strong brand support. The second-generation model has been consistently topping the sales chart, not only in its segment but for the entire Philippine automotive industry as well. Fast-forward to October 2020, and the Toyota Motor Philippines finally brings in the updated version of the midsize SUV
The Toyota Fortuner is a body-on-frame SUV that rides on the IMV platform. The Hilux and the Innova share this platform, along with the engine options but with varying outputs. Design-wise, the refreshed version of the Fortuner is sleeker than before, plus, buyers get to opt for a sportier and more rugged LTD trim, which could either be had in a 4x2 or 4x4 configuration.
Inside, the Fortuner can seat seven people, with the option to fold the third-row seats to the side in order to accommodate more cargo. The Fortuner also has the advantage of having better amenities compared to the cars it shares its platform with.
- Launch
-
Back in the year 2016, the Toyota Fortuner came at an opportune time for Toyota to cement the nameplate's status as the best-selling SUV in the Philippines. This generation's launch introduced three engine options to the market, with a base 2.7L gasoline engine and newer 2.4L and 2.8L diesel engines. This was met with a redesign that Toyota Motor Philippines stated was “a more distinctive, sleek, and powerful design while improving its performance.”
Toyota Philippines launched the facelifted version of the Toyota Fortuner on October 17, 2020. It comes with two new faces thanks to the addition of a new top-of-the-line variant known as the LTD trim, which features a number of rugged reinforcements. A separate facelift was also brought to the Philippines for the lower variants of the SUV along with updated 2.4-liter and 2.8-liter engine options.
- Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
-
Up to the current generation, the Toyota Fortuner still uses the brands’ IMV platform, which is a body on frame chassis with a longitudinal engine layout. In its baser 4x2 trims, the SUV is rear-wheel drive only. Top of the line variants will come with a 4x4 system that is switchable via a dial in the cabin. It is also worth noting that only variants with 2.8-liter engines will get the option to have a 4x4 system. The 2.4-liter diesel engines, on the other hand, can only be had in rear-wheel-drive. Since the new model, Toyota has axed the 2.7-liter gasoline options for the SUV. Now, the nameplate only comes with either a 2.4-liter or a 2.8-liter diesel engine. The power and torque output of the 2.4-liter 2GD-FTV is at 148 hp and 400 Nm of torque, while the larger 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV gets 201 hp and 500 Nm of torque which are figures that are markedly higher than before. Both power plants are inline-4 cylinder engines with 16 valves dual overhead camshafts that feature a Variable Nozzle Turbo with an air cooled intercooler located in the front of the vehicle. There is only one variant in the lineup available with a 6-speed manual transmission. All other trims of the midsize SUV will come with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
As for chassis, the Fortuner is available with a double wishbone front suspension, and a multilink system in the rear. Both suspension types are fully independent and promise a better ride. Apart from that, you can expect ventilated disc brakes all around, along with wheels that are either 17-inches in size for the G variants, or 18-inches for the V variants and up. The LTD trim gets its own unique set of 18-inch wheels thanks to a machine-cut finish.
For top of the line 4x4 trims, the Fortuner features an auto disconnect differential and differential lock along with downhill assist control to go with the system.

Top of the line trims of the Fortuner will receive a 9-speaker JBL audio system to enhance the listening experience. Apart from that, all models will receive proximity sensors as standard. V variants and up get keyless entry with push start as standard, along with automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging, and USB ports.

Meanwhile, the more premium LTD variants will get the all-new look of the Toyota Fortuner. Toyota’s new split-type LED headlights. These new units also feature sequential turn signals that are also LED, giving the LTD a more premium touch. Also only for LTD variants, the rear also gets sequential turn signals. As for the body work, the new Fortuner LTD gets a unique bumper and front-end look that is more angular than the normal G, V, or Q variants in the lineup. The more aggressive look is further enhanced by 18-inch machine cut alloy wheels that the baser trims don’t have.
- Interior
-
Interior upholstery for the new Fortuner include fabric, leather, and two-tone leather options. Fabric seat material is available for the G and V variants, while the more premium Q trim is the only other option with leather seats.
