Thanks to engine updates, the facelifted's engine is 23PS/80Nm lower on power when compared to the facelifted Fortuner. It's also 27PS and 50Nm more powerful than the India-spec BS6-compliant Fortuner automatic.
Just like the current SUV, the facelifted Fortuner will continue with a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission option. It could be the only full size SUV to come with a manual when launched. Perfect for taking matters into your own hands in a sticky situation. All three models here come with both rear wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems.
Though Toyota is yet to reveal fuel efficiency figures for the Fortuner, we expect it to be the least in this test considering the power on tap.
Prices And Verdict:

2020 Toyota Fortuner |
Ford Endeavour |
Toyota Fortuner Diesel |
Mahindra Alturas G4 |
|
|
Prices (ex-showroom) |
Rs 30 lakh (onwards expected) |
Rs 29.55 lakh to Rs 33.25 lakh |
Rs 30.67 lakh to Rs 34.33 lakh |
Rs 27.70 lakh to Rs 30.70 lakh |
The existing Fortuner itself is a pricey SUV and the updates are set to make it even more expensive. That said, the facelifted Fortuner has the most grunt on offer, comes with premium features and also looks more butch now. Coupled with the Toyota badge on the hood, we can see the carmaker making a product that could be more successful than ever.
