Which engine is used in Fortuner?

The Toyota Fortuner has used several engines depending on market and model year. The most common options are a 2.7-liter petrol engine and two turbo-diesel engines around 2.4 and 2.8 liters. Exact specs vary by region, trim, and generation.


Petrol engine options


Below is the primary petrol option that has been offered in many Fortuner markets. Availability can differ by country and model year.



  • 2.7-liter petrol engine (2TR-FE): Inline-4, naturally aspirated, typically around 164–166 hp (about 122–125 kW) and approximately 245 Nm of torque, depending on the market and emission tuning.


The petrol variant is common in some regions but less predominant where diesel dominates Fortuner sales. Check your local specification to confirm the exact petrol option for your model year and trim.


Diesel engine options


Diesel engines are widely used across Fortuner markets, with two main turbo-diesel families powering most variants. Figures below are approximate and vary by market, transmission, and tuning.



  • 2.4-liter turbo-diesel (2GD-FTV): Inline-4, turbocharged, typically around 150 PS (about 110 kW) and roughly 400 Nm of torque, with variations by market and transmission type.

  • 2.8-liter turbo-diesel (1GD-FTV / GD-FTV): Inline-4, turbocharged, commonly around 204 PS (about 150 kW) and torque that can be in the ~420–500 Nm range depending on market and transmission configuration.


Diesel engines in the Fortuner are often paired with both manual and automatic transmissions, and power/torque figures can shift with updates, emission standards, and regional tuning. In some markets, a detuned version of the same engine family is offered for compliance or efficiency goals.


Other considerations


The Fortuner shares much of its underpinnings with the Toyota Hilux pickup, so engine availability tracks with Hilux offerings. Engine availability, output ratings, and even the inclusion of certain engines can change with facelifts or regional launches. Always verify the exact engine code, power, and torque for your specific model year and market in official specifications or the seller’s brochure.


Summary


In summary, the Fortuner’s engine lineup commonly includes a 2.7-liter petrol engine (2TR-FE) and two turbo-diesel options: 2.4 liters (2GD-FTV) and 2.8 liters (1GD-FTV/GD-FTV). Power and torque vary by market, transmission choice, and generation, so check the exact specifications for your region and model year before purchasing.
