The engine Fortuner took from its "older brothers" Land Cruiser and Prado, and the technical characteristics resembled the PAB 4 crossover.
Toyota Fortuner was a kind of a collapsible car. In different countries it was sold under different brands, but in fact they differed only in some details and nuances (in Japan it was Toyota Hillux Surf, in the USA - Toyota 4Runner, and in Europe – Prado).
The first generation of cars was equipped with two types of engines:
2.7-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 160 hp with a torque of 241 N*m. It should be noted that the engine for such a large car was weak (up to 100 km / hour - 12 seconds), but on the other hand had a low fuel consumption (about 9.5 liters on the highway and 13.5 liters in the city).
3-liter diesel unit with a power of 163 horsepower and a torque of 343 N*m. Equipped with such an engine a car could accelerated up to 100 km / hour in 11.7 seconds, and consumed 7.1 and 11.4 liters of diesel while driving on the highway and in the city, respectively.
The basic equipment was rear-wheel drive, but if desired, it was possible to replace the system with an all-wheel drive system for an additional price. As for the switch box, the choice was between the 4-speed automatic transmission and the 5-speed mechanics.
