New Toyota Fortuner is available in Russia with a powerful diesel engine

Russian Toyota dealers have started the sales of the updated Toyota Fortuner crossover with a diesel engine. The cost of the new modification is from 3 million 084 thousand rubles, according to the press service of the Japanese brand. The new 2.8-liter diesel engine has been boosted from 177 to 200 hp, and its torque has increased from 450 to 500 Nm. The updated engine is equipped with a larger turbine, has a modified shape of the combustion chambers and a higher pressure in the fuel supply system. This has a positive impact on the efficiency of the power plant and fuel consumption, as well as reduced noise and vibration levels. As noted, despite the significant change in indicators, Toyota Fortuner remained in the same category of vehicle tax, and the owner's expenses will not increase dramatically.

The flagship diesel engine is available in two trim levels "Elegance" and "Prestige", which are equipped with a new multimedia system with AppleCarPlay and AndroidAuto support and an 8-inch screen, climate control, an updated instrument panel with a 4.2-inch color display, and also front and rear parking sensors. The updated Toyota Fortuner offers better handling at low and high speeds thanks to a redesigned power steering pump. The hydraulic booster has variable performance and improves feedback, and also contributes to fuel economy by going into idle mode when there is no heavy steering. The list of standard options for the new diesel trim levels includes an extended winter package with an additional electric interior heater and engine heater, as well as side steps with silver inserts.
