The Fortuner 4.0 V6 typically has a fuel consumption that varies depending on driving conditions and regions. Official figures for the 2025 model suggest an average of 12.7 L/100km (around 18.5 MPG), but real-world usage, especially in urban environments, can see city driving figures between 14.8 to 16.2 L/100km (approximately 15.9-16.9 MPG) and highway figures closer to 11.2-12.4 L/100km (about 19-21 MPG)[2].
Other sources report that under city driving conditions, the 4.0L engine averages around 9 km/L, while highway driving sees a slight improvement[1]. A local UAE specification lists fuel consumption at about 9.6 km/L[5], and another estimate for practical day-to-day use is about 8.2 km/L[4].
Owners’ forums reflect a range of real-life fuel consumption from 7.5 km/L in town to 8.5 km/L on the open road, with towing reducing this further to around 7.0 km/L[3]. Regional user reports from Southern Africa show that, depending on driving patterns and speed, consumption can increase to as high as 18-22 L/100km under heavy-footed or tough conditions[6].
Key factors affecting the Fortuner 4.0 V6’s fuel consumption include:
- Driving conditions (city vs highway vs off-road)
- Traffic (stop-start traffic increases consumption)
- Terrain and use of 4WD
- Load and additional cargo
- Air conditioning usage (especially in hotter climates)
- General maintenance and service intervals
