Car Profiles - Toyota Fortuner

TOYOTA FORTUNER

Almost sold for nearly 10 years, the Toyota Fortuner never loses its fans especially changes were brought to the table (including a VNT upgrade to the 2.5 models). Old as it is, it manages to look fresh especially with an update which may be its last hurrah.

The Good: Refined diesels
The Bad: Automatic has only four gears

Price Range: P1,282,000-P1,785,000
Our Rating: ***
