Under the hood, we might see a 2.4 litre turbocharged GD series diesel and petrol engine churning out a maximum power of 150 bhp producing a maximum torque of 400 Nm which will be coupled with either a 6 speed manual or automatic transmission box. With an expected price tag of Rs 22 lac the new Fortunner will be underpinned by an updated IMV platform, and will be built on the same ladder frame chassis as its earlier version.
