The Toyota Hilux pick-up truck received a minor local update last week, and now is the turn of its SUV sister, the Toyota Fortuner. The Fortuner, which has been around in latest facelift guise since October 2011, gets some extra kit with no price increase.
New things include 17-inch twin-spoke wheels in a new dark grey colour. The rim design has not changed, merely the colour. Inside, the previous ‘sandbeige’ colour theme is out, replaced by black. The black combination leather upholstery in the petrol 2.7V variant gets silver contrasting stitching, and the driver’s seat is six-way power adjustable. Diesel 2.5G variants get fabric seats.
Trim wise, the 2.7V’s dashboard features black woodgrain panels, as opposed to silver bits on the 2.5G. All variants now have ISOFIX anchorage points for child seats.
Individual on-the-road prices with insurance for Peninsular Malaysia are as follows:
- Fortuner 2.7V (P) A/T TRD Sportivo – RM182,482
- Fortuner 2.7V (P) A/T – RM179,024
- Fortuner 2.5G (D) A/T TRD Sportivo – RM174,789
- Fortuner 2.5G (D) A/T – RM171,305

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post reveal a mix of opinions, with some users expressing disappointment over the updated Toyota Fortuner, criticizing the lack of features like height adjustment for the driver seat, stability control, and auto cruise, despite the addition of ISOFIX. Many see the update as superficial, calling it a cosmetic facelift or a marketing ploy to boost sales, and compare it unfavorably to competitors or previous models. Price concerns and value for money are common themes, with some users suggesting the new model is overpriced. Several comments divert into off-topic debates, personal insults, or criticisms of Toyota's business strategy, but the main sentiment is that the update is seen as minimal, expensive, and possibly just a tactic to attract attention rather than a substantial upgrade.
