The Fortuner menu is quite simple: 4x2 in 2.7-liter gas and 2.5-liter diesel, and 4x4 in 3.0 diesel, all with automatic gearbox. ABS and dual airbags are standard. Also standard are climate control, trip computer, power windows and door locks, keyless entry, leather steering wheel, front fog lamps, roof rails, etc. The stereo is quite adequate when punched into the “Surround” mode; its single-disc CD player can read MP3 files. With the Fortuner’s pricing and features, it should have been no surprise that the SUV headed to the top of the sales charts. The price has been creeping up steadily, but it’s still within striking range of the compact SUVs below it, and its utility and equipment puts to shame some of the bigger, more expensive vehicles above it. The modern diesel drivetrain seals the deal. The Fortuner is the best 4x4 for this price range, but it’s not quite perfect. Its reign might end when the next great seven-seater, perhaps Toyota’s 2006 RAV4, comes along to challenge it. |
