Full specifications
| Engine capacity | 2.8 LnoteDisplacement stated directly in the derivative name (2.8 GD-6). |
| Cylinders | 4noteToyota South Africa Motors vehicle-specification data for derivative code A8L, field "Number of Cylinders and Arrangement" = "Inline 4". |
| Power | 165 kW |
| Torque | 550 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed automatic with paddle shift |
| Gears | 6 |
| Drivetrain | 4x4 |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteCombined cycle; Toyota does not name the test standard. |
| Fuel consumption | 7.6 L/100kmnoteToyota South Africa claims 7.6 L/100 km for the GR-S. Two other readings give 8.4, and Toyota’s own claimed range only works at the higher figure, so treat this as the manufacturer’s claim rather than a settled number. |
| Fuel tank | 80 L |
| Fuel grade | Diesel (50ppm) |
| Range | 1 053 kmnoteAbout 1 050 km from the 80-litre tank at Toyota’s claimed 7.6 L/100 km. Toyota separately claims 950 km, which matches the disputed 8.4 figure instead. |
| 0-100 km/h | 8.77 snoteToyota publishes no 0–100 km/h figure for the Fortuner in any market. This is an instrumented test result, not a manufacturer claim. |
| CO2 emissions | 200 g/kmnoteToyota South Africa claims 200 g/km for the GR-S. Other readings give 221, tracking the same disagreement recorded on the consumption row. |
| Seats | 7 |
| Doors | 5noteStandard four side doors plus tailgate for a 5/7-seat SUV bodystyle; not itemised separately by Toyota. |
| Length | 4 795 mm |
| Width | 1 855 mm |
| Height | 1 835 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2 745 mm |
| Ground clearance | 279 mmnote279 mm is Toyota South Africa’s own figure, printed identically for all twelve local derivatives. Sources outside South Africa give roughly 216–219 mm, which looks like a different measurement basis rather than a disagreement about the car. |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 716 Lnote716 litres with the third row folded, from two Australian reviews of the same seven-seat body. Toyota South Africa does not publish it. |
| Boot (behind last row) | 200 Lnote200 litres behind the third row. Toyota South Africa does not publish it; independent Australian reviews of the same body give it consistently. |
| Boot (seats folded) | 1 080 Lnote1 080 litres with all rear seats folded. Toyota South Africa does not publish it; independent Australian reviews of the same body give it consistently. |
| Kerb weight | 2 195 kgnoteToyota South Africa publishes no kerb weight for this derivative. The figure held here comes from a specification database rather than from Toyota, so treat it as approximate. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 2 735 kg |
| Payload | 540 kgnoteWorked out from Toyota South Africa’s GVM of 2 735 kg less a kerb weight Toyota does not publish, so it is only as firm as that kerb figure. |
| Towing (braked) | 3 300 kg |
| Towing (unbraked) | 750 kg |
| Safety rating | 5 stars (ANCAP 2019) (expired) |

| Low range | YesnoteToyota Australia's own spec sheet for this generation states 'Driveline: Part time 4x4' with a low-range transfer case standard across all 4x4 Fortuner grades; not restated as a separate spec by Toyota SA but standard for this drivetrain. |
| Approach angle | 29°noteNot published by Toyota South Africa. Independent Australian reviews of the same Fortuner body consistently give 29°. |
