Toyota has added an "entry-level" automatic to its popular Fortuner line-up.
The new 2.5 D-4D Auto slots in just above the 2.5 D-4D manual, which is the most affordable entry point for Fortuner ownership.
At the heart of the Fortuner 2.5 D-4D VNT Auto lies a powerplant that is able to deliver maximum performance from a frugal four-cylinder engine. Maximum power is rated at 106kW and torque on par with the 3.0 D-4D, a substantial 343Nm.
The four-speed auto is the same one used in the other diesel in the range. Maximum torque is available from a 1600rpm and peak power is reached at 3400rpm.

Sensible. Practical. Premium. But exciting? We drive the Audi A3 Sportback 1.8 TFSI S tronic SE...
Not many people equate "hot hatch" with BMW. But they should: the M135i is a hidden gem...
Nissan has wheeled out the old "special edition" tag... We drive the Nissan Navara Titanium.
