Is Fortuner a V4 or V6?
Not a V4. The Fortuner has used inline-4 engines and, in some older variants, a 4.0-liter V6; a V4 configuration has not been offered.
Engine options by generation
Engine choices for the Fortuner have evolved over its two generations, with market-by-market variations. Here is a concise breakdown:
First generation (2005–2015)
During its initial run, the Fortuner offered a mix of petrol and diesel engines, including
- Petrol: a 2.7-liter inline-4 engine in many markets, and in some regions a 4.0-liter V6 for higher performance.
- Diesel: a 3.0-liter inline-4 turbodiesel common across several markets.
Availability of the V6 and the diesel variants varied by country and model year.
Second generation (2015–present)
The current generation moved toward four-cylinder powertrains in most regions, with no standard V6 on the broader lineup. Typical options include:
- Petrol: a 2.7-liter inline-4 engine.
- Diesel: 2.4-liter inline-4 turbodiesel and 2.8-liter inline-4 turbodiesel.
Market-specific trims and updates can tweak horsepower and tuning, but the V6 option has not been a common offering in the latest generation.
Market variations and notes
Engine availability for the Fortuner depends on the region, model year, and local regulations. While earlier models occasionally offered a 4.0-liter V6, the modern Fortuner lineup emphasizes four-cylinder petrol and diesel options across most markets.
Summary
In short, the Fortuner is not a V4. It has used inline-4 engines for both petrol and diesel variants, and in its early years it also offered a 4.0-liter V6 in some markets. The current generation focuses on four-cylinder powertrains, with no standard V6 option in most markets today. Engine choices are highly market-specific and have shifted over time.
