The Russian car enthusiast, although, incidentally, both European and even Japanese, this car is little known, if known at all. But it has been produced for more than ten years. The fact is that seven-seater SUV Toyota Fortuner for all the time of its existence, it has never been sold either in the Land of the Rising Sun, or in America, or in Europe. From the outset, it was produced for Thailand, and then began to conquer the automotive markets of other countries belonging to the so-called third world. But in 2014, the production of this SUV was established by our geographical neighbor Kazakhstan. The first generation off-road vehicle is nothing special, so it’s a special pity that it wasn’t sold or sold, no. But as for the second generation, here is another matter ...

Toyota Fortuner - This is an SUV based on a pickup platform, this is not a classic jeep, but because the model is cheaper. The new crossover has grown constructively from the Toyota Hilux. Although grown, it does not mean repeated all the features of its predecessor: Toyota Fortuner turned out to be surprisingly more elegant. For example, the "spring" chassis, typical of trucks, is here replaced by a "civilian" five-link suspension on traditional springs. Therefore, Toyota Fortuner will behave on Russian soils much more gently than soplatform pickups. Already basic version of Fortune is all-wheel drive with rear differential lock and "ponizhaykoy." Seven airbags, rear-view camera, start-up system on the climbs and other “manufacturability” are not bad “body kit” for a crossover of this level. The most advanced equipment has a panoramic glass roof, keyless access, speed control during descents.

For each region where the SUV is delivered, there is its own special equipment, due to geographic features. While it is known that is under the hood of the Toyota Fortuner, sold to Australians. This is a 177-horsepower diesel unit, reinforced by a turbine, working in tandem with a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic. Engine capacity - 2.8 liters. Australians will see second generation Toyota Fortuner only by October 2015. We will not guess, but the possibility of the appearance of this car on our roads is not excluded. At least it will not contradict the tradition: Deliver Toyota Fortuner to third world countries, to which Russia has long gone down in terms of income and the lives of most of the population.
