What is the Chinese name of the 2020 Toyota Fortuner?
2 Answers
Toyota Fortuner is called 'Chuanyuezhe' in Chinese. The Fortuner combines the versatility of an MPV with the off-road capability of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, making it an SUV. Its interior design follows the basic layout of an MPV, featuring three rows of seats that can accommodate seven passengers and can be freely folded. It also includes various storage compartments for miscellaneous items. Here are some details about the Toyota Fortuner: 1. Suspension: The Toyota Fortuner uses a body-on-frame structure. The front suspension is a double-wishbone torsion bar independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link non-independent suspension. 2. Dimensions: It has a wheelbase of 2750mm and overall dimensions of 4705*1840*1850mm (length*width*height).
I bought a 2020 Toyota Fortuner last year, and before purchasing, I specifically researched its Chinese name. At the official Toyota dealership in China, the salesperson clearly told me that the official Chinese name for the 2020 model is 'Toyota Runner'. This vehicle is built on the Hilux platform, somewhat similar to the Prado, but more geared towards family off-roading. In fact, many places also call it the 'Crosser', especially in parallel import channels, mainly because dealers gave it this nickname based on its off-road performance. However, the 2020 model still retains the name 'Runner' in official documents, with the main changes being in the front fascia and lighting design. My family's car has a very stable chassis, which is particularly reassuring when driving on rough roads, though the fuel consumption is slightly high due to the heavy body. Most people who choose this car are attracted to its spaciousness, and the seven-seater version is perfect for family trips.
