Toyota Bahrain unveils all-new Fortuner

MANAMA, March 13, 2016

Toyota Bahrain has unveiled the all-new Toyota Fortuner, a second generation model which builds on its heritage of being a durable sport utility vehicle (SUV) with impressive off-road capabilities.

The event was at the Toyota showroom in Sitra, with the attendance of the top management of Ebrahim K Kanoo, exclusive Toyota dealer in Bahrain and Toyota officials.

“To ensure peace of mind for our customers, we developed a new stronger frame which enables the vehicle to withstand rough road conditions, in addition to an improved four-link suspension system for a more comfortable drive,” Hiroki Nakajima, Fortuner’s executive chief engineer.

“The new engine offers high torque at lower RPMs. Furthermore, the design concept is rough but cool, with three bold, iconic lines. On top of all of this, the all-new Fortuner offers premium utility and safety features.”

Takayuki Yoshitsugu, chief representative, Mena Representative Office, Toyota Motor Corporation, said: “The all-new Fortuner is a completely redesigned SUV that enhances driving confidence on every level while setting a new standard for SUVs all around the world. The result of this is a comprehensive revamp, creating a unique SUV that’s every bit as comfortable on the school run as it is on the region’s toughest off-road trails. We sincerely appreciate the support of all our customers and we look forward to delighting them with this latest model.”

The Fortuner is available with a 2.7-litre four-cylinder petrol engine which produces 164hp and 25.0 Kg-m of torque and a 4.0-litre V6 engine, which churns out 235hp and 38.3 Kg-m of torque. The Fortuner offers a 6-speed automatic transmission which maximises engine potential and multi-stage gears optimised to improve drive force in the low-speed range. – TradeArabia News Service
