Toyota Fortuner 2021 Genting Test Drive / YS Khong Driving
The Toyota Fortuner is a SUV, built on the same ladder-frame chassis as the Hilux, and the 2.8 liter Diesel variant shares the same mechanicals as the Hilux. Thus the Fortuner is a true off-road vehicle, and can seat seven occupants.
We check it out on our favorite hill climb route, to check out how it handles.

See this car is very popular in India, I took a test drive of this car. Yes they have worked on the NVH, yes the idling RPM is down to 1000 rpm. But rest assured if you are looking for a car that will give you a luxury vibe look elsewhere, that 2.8 litr engine is heavy duty engine so when you accelerate it harder it will have a gravely note, overall this car is focused on dependebility and ruggedness. Plastics inside the cabin leave a lot more room for improvement.
I would like to see uncle drive older car up to genting to see how its handling Lol! Love your content! What a great driver
Malaysian been charged so expensive for road tax 2.5cc onwards.. yet our malaysian roads terrible.. perhaps we all should object this nonsense road tax charges.. our jpj head's fellas all half +2.. this been shared by other SUV & MPV honest reviews

Agree with you, but you are talking regarding 2 different authorities with different resposibilities. Bad rosd conditions should be asked to JKR. Btw, it is LKM not an actual "roadtax".
Bumps into your review, considering to own a reliable suv as long distance daily driver (shah alam - kemaman - pasir gudang). Apparently given the price, features, comfort, this fortuner fits the bill, I think. Thanks uncle.

Hi Uncle Khong, I've always enjoyed your reviews on cars especially this one, thanks a lot
Absolutely enjoyed your driving sir! We own a manual Fortuner ( India ) and the MT is slightly quicker but insanely fun to drive. I've noticed the engine note is also slightly more growlier in the MT :)

Another great review, Uncle. Just like most Indians, Fortuner is a personal favorite of mine. Nothing pulls like that creamy 2.8L (except the Endeavour/Everest's 3.2L).

Hello sir very nice video sir one question sir the option 4wheel drive of the new fortuner how many kms per hour can you go maximum?is it only 80kms per hour or its like normal driving speed but in 4x4.and you think the reason why many people say that the suspension of the fortuner is hard because of its sporty touch?thank you so much
@YSKhongDriving
2 жыл бұрын
In 4H, it will go as high as the top speed. Only thing is switching from 2H to 4H should be done below 100 kmh. So maybe you misunderstood. The coil springs on the Fortuner give a comfortable ride, harder than a car, but softer than a pick up truck.
