2015 Toyota Fortuner Crusade

The 2016 Toyota Fortuner has been awarded a five-star rating in the latest round of testing conducted by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). Already on sale in Australia, the Toyota Hilux-based SUV is available in three variants with all models rated with the same score – 34.05 out of a maximum of 37.

To recap, the 2016 Toyota Fortuner is equipped as standard with dual front airbags along with side chest and curtain units as well as a driver’s knee airbag. Elsewhere, electronic brake distribution (EBD) and emergency brake assist (EBA) is also featured as standard across all three variants.

For the frontal offset test, the Fortuner scored a total of 13.45 points out of a maximum 16. Even more impressive is the fact that the 2016 Toyota Fortuner was awarded 16 points out of a maximum of 16 for the side impact test – it also scored a maximum two out of two points for the pole test.

Pedestrian protection, meanwhile, was rated ‘Good’ as was whiplash protection – the Fortuner was scored a total of 30.17 points out of a maximum of 36 for the former category. The Aussie-spec 2016 Toyota Fortuner is powered by a 2.8 litre 1GD-FTV turbodiesel engine with 174 hp and 420/450 Nm of torque depending on the choice of transmission. Prices kick off at AU$47,990 (RM147,889) to AU$59,990 (RM184,870).

    See who the majority naik moto, they eat nasi lemak and then fall asleep on the wheel. This already confirmed by the JPJ ie nasi lemak is known to make you lazy and fall asleep. Somemore, half the time, you are thinking about Malam Jumaat, how to concentrate on the road?

    Don’t get excited, our Fortuner is stripped out of so many safety features because greedy UMW want to make more untung at the expense of your life

      Yup, Seeing that only the Camry Hybrid gets more than 2 airbags apart from having the pay for the safety package in the Altis, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get 2 airbags only here.
