Efficiency and Performance
The addition of the hybrid system has improved mileage, making the Fortuner more efficient than the standard diesel-only model. With options for both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, along with manual and automatic transmissions, it continues to deliver versatile performance suited for both city and off-road conditions.
