The 2013 Fortuner 3.0 D-4D is probably one of the best all-round SUVs you can get if you want serious strength with everyday comfort. The 3.0-litre turbodiesel delivers 120 kW and 343 Nm of torque from ~1 400 rpm, so it pulls hard even from low down.
Fuel economy is surprisingly reasonable for its size — on the road it averages about 8.5 L/100 km in normal driving.
It’s rugged, durable and built to handle rough roads. High ground clearance, tough frame, and good off-road / 4×4 variants make it capable in challenging conditions.
Inside, the Fortuner balances utility with comfort: it’s spacious, seats up to seven, has a sound interior build, decent standard features (aircon, electric windows, maybe Bluetooth/USB depending on trim), and rides relatively smoothly for a body-on-frame SUV.
Overall, the 2013 Fortuner 3.0 D-4D stands out as a very capable SUV — tough, reliable, good performance, and still comfortable enough for family and adventure.—
If you like, I can also write a version focusing more on weaknesses or how it stacks vs newer models for balance.
