The 2016 Toyota Fortuner, based on the new Hilux, is “just a few months away,” revealed Toyota Thailand at the launch of its latest pick-up truck. We already know what the seven-seat SUV will look like, of course, thanks to a few leaked photos from earlier this year.
When arrives, you can expect it to share the same range of new engines that are offered on the new Hilux. On the diesel front, the 2.8 litre 1GD-FTV and 2.4 litre 2GD-FTV from the GD family should take over from the current 2.5 and 3.0 litre options. The 2.7 litre petrol engine, meanwhile, will be a newer Dual VVT-i unit.
Gone, too, will be the four-speed automatic transmission, replaced by a brand new six-speed auto’box. A six-speed manual option (iMT6 with rev-match function, no less) should be available as well, but don’t count on it being offered here in Malaysia.
Inside, the next-gen Fortuner is expected to mirror the new Hilux rather closely, with a much more car-like dashboard and interior amenities thrown in. The pick-up truck already boasts much improved interior space and refinement, which will be put to good use by its passenger-oriented SUV cousin.

Wow.. How long did it take you to type that out? :0
copy paste from old comment of his..
Takata airbags come standard?
Proton salesmen are so lazy even on a blog also lazy to type the comment. No wonder Proton sales forever so bad.
And other people who couldn’t let go of the VSC, I have an perfect advise to them: Go buy Proton, you help the sales-less proton salesman, he help you on VSC, 6 airbags.
*Bear in mind the best selling Proton Saga, Persona have no VSC and 6 airbags, don’t get conned.
why are u jealous?
what jealous are you talking about ? Are you the same junior uncle sales man at UMW showroom too ? Business is bad, showroom is empty. Sam( real name Danny) can only talkcok at blog everyday.
If you know how many kimchi owners that were shown the Hilux and those that have attempted suicide after learning about the RV of their rotten cabbages, you will know why these sorhai tai lan ngongs feel jealous of sushi’s RV
For good RV, you bought your son saga last ?
Aiyooo here also, haha bro tak bosan ke comment the same thing in almost every Toyota related news? I don’t like UMW also and i love to read all the negative comments here but it gets annoying when i tried to read all the comments and i can see your essay almost every single time. Move on bro, try to make another essay and I will assess it, OK?
Pity Malaysians who dont know the truth about Fortuner. Every Fortuner out there is mainly JKR car or other gomen department.
Government give strict directive. All gomen SUV must be either Santa Fe or Fortuner. One to help Sime Darby and the other to help crony GLC UMW.
So, gomen spends hundreds of millions to buy there 2 cars to help crony GLC Sime Darby and crony GLC UMW
U r mistaken. UMW is PR crony. U see what r the fleet cars for PR when they got Penang, Perak, Terengganu, Selangor?
Same Lorrrr and Sam Loo (ori1) are still selling bra and panties in Parkson.
Still no VSC? Then this should be called Fortuner Coffin or Moving Coffin.
Car so expensive also still got no VSC? Better buy a conffin. Put four wheels under it and put a steering wheel on it. Walah! its a Fortuner!

too little…
Are 6 airbags + ESP too much to ask for?
What about anti-roll?
And all discs + calipers ?
Giants need calipers.
OK, at least it doesn’t look like a HILUX.
Design is very sharp.
Welcome back to the 7 seater SUV game.
ehemm..
why no toyota highlander?
The first two picture looked like the old model SSyangYong to me.. :p
It reminds me of angry bird.
