Diesel cars have proved economical
fuel consumption.
But the problem is that the performance is far from expectation.
Therefore, manufacturers are able to create a diesel unit meets
expectations diesel car lovers. One of the innovations that developed
there in the air
induction system or turbo. The idea is to manipulate the turbine wheel by adjusting the speed to the air requirements are always met in all
engine speed ranges. This system reduces the gap at low rpm and make the engine does not run out of breath at high speed.
Toyota did it by developing a technology called Variable Nozzle
Turbocharger
(VNT). By relying on the nozzle which is directed to the turbine, the
air flow rate is set by adjusting the nozzle angle. As a result, a
turbine wheel can be faster at low speed and no loss of power at high
speed. There are significant differences in the unit-FTV 2KD that do not
use VNT, and that use VNT. If the old unit 2494 cc 4-cylinder
common-rail will only produce power 102 hp and 265 Nm of torque, with an
additional VNT plus intercooler, power output at 144 hp and 350 Nm of
torque.
Interestingly, if the previously obtained 265 Nm of
torque in the range of 1600-2400 rpm, while torque is 350 Nm is obtained
in the range of 1600-2800 rpm. Evidently, in addition to torque
increased sharply, breathing machines go up much longer. Unfortunately,
the distribution of power to the wheels is still not changed. Fortuner
still entrust a 5-speed manual
transmission and 4-speed automatic similar predecessor.
Fortuner which we try to rely on a
manual transmission. Armed with a single gear ratio final gear 4.313 and 4.555, power surge is felt when
accelerating.
Not easy to drag his huge body. The same sensation occurred every
subsequent gearshift. The laws of physics not been able rejected by the
Fortuner. With tall posture, not easy to control when maneuvering
quickly. Potential swayed easily detected.
Even so, try to feel
movement when cornering. Moreover, this model has been used sokbreker
TRD Sportivo who tend to be hard. So you can anticipate the movement of
the body and its tendency to oversteer, playing with the Fortuner will
be fun. Inside, there was no change from the previous
diesel models.
The bench two-tone look fancy and suggested fresh. Similar to the
Kijang Innova Dashboard is starting to feel outdated for some people.
While tall posture ensures the accommodation was adequate.
