Both the SUVs were created purely based on customer feedback thus helping us garner a good response.
Under the bonnet, the Fortuner is powered by a 2.7-litre petrol engine and a 2.8-litre diesel engine making 201bhp and 420Nm of torque. A six-speed manual and a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox can be had with both the engines. The Legender meanwhile is offered only with a 4x2 diesel motor with automatic transmission.
