Toyota Fortuner 2.5 4x2 or 3.0 4x4? [Merged]

Personally, while the power of the 3.0 is great, you don't really need that much power. The important consideration in traffic is torque, and the 2.5 has enough of that.

But if you can live with the 5-7 km/l consumption of the 3.0 in traffic... go ahead...

wait for the re-tooled 2.5Li and 3.0Li D4D engines from Toyota.

power is up for both 120ps, 325NM and 171ps, 343NM of torque.

7 to 8 km/li mixed city and highway. 6 km/li city.

it's not that much of a problem... if you're the type of driver that likes to race between traffic lights malamang lalakas ka din sa fuel consumption. It really depends on your driving habit.

Ako....5.2 to 5.6 km/liter lang sa 2.7vvti ko. But usually 2km lang ang takbo ko from home to office....traffic pa.

on the brighter side, compact SUVs like CRV, x-trail are also in the same consumption range. at least sa Fortuner standing tall ka na, mid-SUV ka pa.

pero malakas nga yan sa 5km/liter. may dad's V6 explorer 4WD nasa ganyan consumption range din. para tuloy mas efficient pa yun mga 4WD Ford SUVs kasi 4x2 lang 'to Fortuner 2.7 d'ba?

i've spoken to my cousin who is a former supervisor at nissan, sabi nya mas matipid daw ang 3.0 compared to 2.5 because of the power to rate ratio, same thing na sinabi din ng ahente sa toyota balintawak. imagine sa 3.0konting apak mo lang sa gas pedal makukuha mo na yung lakas na gusto mo compared to 2.5 kailangan mas mataas yung rpm(which means more fuel burned?) bago mo makuha yung lakas na ibinibigay ng 3.0 so to make sense mas makakatipid ka using 3.0. tama ba?
