Owing to the four-link rear suspension setup, the wheels are allowed impressive amounts of articulation – keeping the body rather flat over the bigger bumps. Much like the Hilux, whose chassis mechanical bits underpin the Fortuner, it’s tough and handles the rough and tough with brutal efficiency. On both counts, we sampled only the 2.7-litre petrol variant. We had a brief chance to sample the all-new Toyota Fortuner prior to the launch today – the test included a tough off-road layout littered with challenging bumps and gaping holes dug in the ground, followed by a quick blast round a straight on Toyota’s test track.

The overarching formula remains the same with the tried-and-tested mechanicals of the Hilux underneath cloaked in a ‘lifestyle-friendly’ SUV body style. Perhaps a circa 10-year shelf life was a tad long, but then again, the Fortuner never had to contend with a growing number of seven-seater offerings like the Isuzu MU-X. Now more Fifth Avenue cruiser than 'journey-man' taxpayer 4x4. The all-new second generation Toyota Fortuner now visibly puts a firm emphasis on style and tasteful execution. Globally launched in 2005, the first generation Toyota Fortuner facelift and updates aside have been sold in Malaysia for around a decade. Alongside with the ever-popular Toyota Hilux, UMW Toyota Motors today also unveiled their all-new SUV the 2016 Toyota Fortuner. There are two variants at the outset, a 2.4-litre diesel shared with the Hilux and a 2.7-litre petrol engine in the flagship variant. The 2016 seven-seater Toyota Fortuner is only available with a six-speed gearbox sending power to all four wheels.Īll prices quoted are on the road with insurance inclusive of GST taxes in Peninsular Malaysia
