About the Toyota Fortuner
The Toyota Fortuner is a 4WD based on the HiLux ute and first arrived on Australian soil in 2015, with its last significant update occurring in 2020 when it received a revised 2.8L diesel engine – the same engine transplanted into the Hilux and Prado at the time – with 150kW and 500Nm on tap.
The current three-model Fortuner line-up shares the 1GD-FTV four-cylinder engine, which runs through a six-speed automatic transmission and part-time 4WD system.
The Fortuner range includes the GX, GXL and top-spec Crusade that adds a layer of luxury. All models feature seven seats.
As part of the 2020 update, the Toyota Fortuner also received interior and exterior styling tweaks, and improved safety kit.
Competitors include the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.
