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
ISOFIX shd be given FREE to all cars from Day One, not as facelift enhancements.
What the f**k Toyota?
When buying this car come to me. When you think of Toyota, think Sam Loo. When you think Sam Loo, think of Toyota.
If you don’t want Toyota, come to my yard, I got so many 1 year old Mazda CX5 and Proton Preves all going for half price.
Unker Sam, may I have ur HP No. please…! Me wanna buy 2 unit of 2nd hand Mazda CX5 2012! RM75K/unit if bought 2 maybe Unker Sam can give more discount right?
Nissan should bring in the Pathfinder to fight with this fortuner and pajero sport…..
This Toyota still cannot beat my 2006 JDM Murano.
Murano? Be careful of the tiny radiator. Common problem for the engine overheating.
True…my company fleet of X-Trail all got overheating problem due to small radiator.
Wow..what the beck man? What kind of upgrade is that? Im sure if proton do the same thing..peoples will bash them like hell
To all the poor and low achievers Kimchi and Proton owners, you can only dream to own this baby!. Work hard you lazy bums and maybe, just maybe, one day, you can buy a 2nd hand Toyota!
Obviously, a K5 owner trying to belittle uncle Sam
i pity u Sam..im afraid there is no cure for ur bengness :(
Work hard mung! Aku kerja pukul 8.30 sampai pkul 5.30 gaji 3k. Tu pun balik rumah sambung buat kerja ofis pasal klo stay ofis bos tak bagi OT jugak. Ada baiknya aku balik buat kerja dirumah. Mu nak suruh buat kerja apa lagi?
I must apologize, he sits so often on this super-bumpy-luxury-hilux that his otak jatuk ke dalam longkang. :X
Maybe his brain got bang up so bad when his hilux turn turtle a few times…..
….. while whacking corner at Genting Highlands going downhill. Personally encounter few times that daredevil Hilux drivers going downhill + sapu corner from Genting lot more faster than me (at speed of at least 80 km/h, you try to challenge/go near them them, they might speed somemore to >100 km/h) while i m doing 50 – 60 km/h at 3rd gear on left lane.
You are talking like you own a Ferrari.. Im sure one of us own a Ferrari or a Porche & etc.. But not as arrogant as you Sam Loo.. You are just a hilux owner.. How pathetic..
Sam Loo, u must be siao! even thought Kimchi and kampung car Potong r not good maybe cheap does not mean u can hurt them!
guys, i mentioned again and again. just ignore the loo guy. he is just an attention seeker wanting to see your harsh reaction to him. he derives pleasure from that and the way to banish him is to ignore him. he’ll suffer like hell if you ignore him.
don’t feed his needs for attention.
Every one is a fake fella. Including my so called dad. Don’t crtitic me, come to my yard, I got so many Preves, K5 and Mazda CX5 all going for half price. Only 1 year old cars.
The export market for Sam’s program took off.
He just shipped around 70 units of Sonata and 20 units of Elantra to Colombo.
Problem is with the few Kia’s leftover, no takers at all. Gotta sell locally
still the same sh1t, no stability control, no auto cruise, no traction control.
only some cosmetic changes. phuii
Rubbish from Toyota.
This must be TOYOLAH money sucker?
Sam Loo is very proud of this.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing.
Uncle Sam now needs more sorhais to trade in kimchis.
Big export market for 1 year old kimchis that has depreciated by easily 50%
No comment on the car and it’s pricing. But Toyota Malaysia business strategy sucks!
WOW! Black cabin…..WOW!!! ISOFIX!!!
What so special about isofix? cheaper car also have.. it seems like a very big deal for toyota to install
Read: Sarcasm.
You don’t know ah, Toyolta also install ISOFIX at the rear cargo area…very generous…die die must buy!
Again!!!! Don’t call them Toyota, name them ToyoDate better. 1) Innova (lost count how many updates) 2) Hilux (also lost count) 3) Fortuner (3 I guess). To those buy Fortuner I don’t think u r Fortunate now :(
Sam loo where are you?
Uncle Sam is too busy these few days. Negotiating export deal for used kimchis to Sri Lanka.
His team of sales reps so darn busy till they already fall sick from overwork. Dem good biz trading kimchis
wow, TRD Sportivo , wow, can add 0.5 more horse power once you add in TRD Sportivo, wow
i cant believe so many people still fall for the TURD Sportipu crap..plus just when all the pickups already have automated 2WD-4WD shift,Hilux still maintain the transmission stick..even this overpriced unfortuner..talk abt Hilat
normal hilux – RM70k
hilux with two more seats RM-170k
Toyota logic.
To be honest, I always think that black interior is proper for this car. And like always, I am now disappointed with Toyota when they decide to totally replace it instead of having another variant and this car is overpriced as f***
This is not an update/ facelift.
This is just a lame attempt to grab attention and boost sales. They can do better.
A proper update would be VSC plus price increase, about RM17 just like the Camry.
This is indeed another attempt by Toyota to fool the public. Its just a more luxurious hilux with more seats and they are charging twice the price of hilux
this is madness
this is toyota.
i would still prefer the Nissan X-Trail because
1) Flat-fold seats
2) Have enough power to move around for a city-dweller
3) As practical and reliable
4)It is not as big so you wouldn’t have problems when parking
5)2.0 liter so the road-tax won’t eat you too much
Kereta Kementerian.
in the name of ‘new’, they’re always alternating between beige/brown and black interior, and vice versa. Just observe, most car companies do that.
IS the accident rate for the fortuner very high?
even without whatever safety gadget?
Sometime, abit in dilemma, when all bashes just bash…..
Is there and statistic to back this thing up?
I like this car, RM 170k is expensive compare to pajero sport. I mean 2wd. Since I’m not using it for offroad, why not 2wd? Compare to Thailand, they do offer 2wd version
can toyota set the price closer to crv ?
I just put a used sofa, a carpet, and some cupholders on the back of a hilux, nail some papan overhead as a roof…voila! A Fortuner! No wonder Toyota makes fortunes.
Umw Toyota thinking is alway so “special ” & unique, their don’t want to bring 3.0 diesel fortuner already a mistake. Their marketing strategy is very weird, a 3.0 full spec hilux get leather treament and steering wheel have audio control and power seat but 2.5 fortuner which 70+k expensive than 3.0 hilux get fabric seat and no audio control on steering wheel, no power seat….. What the hack…Umw
Just bring in the Fortuner 5 speed 3.0 diesel. Why Toyota so lame?
Sam Loo motive : since he cant tell any superior tech coming from this model, he will condemn other brands. Reverse psychology. Typical salesman character.
I think they did this because the new model ones are coming ? Just like what they did to vios which is new body colour months before the all new vios launch. Reports says Hilux and fortuner will get replaced around end of this year… no?
Toyota IMV project (innova, forutner, hilux) is legendary project, doesnt required replaced, can run for another 10year. hahaha :)
Fortuner in Labuan cost about RM 110K, almost the same as the Hilux. I am sure every one know what is the remaining RM60K. There is very different in tax between pick up truck and SUV.
I have bought a Fortuner Diesel variant at RM 176K since 2014. No height adjustment even for driver seat and 2 zones air-conditioning with no front defrost. WTF is wrong with Toyota specing scheme??? Is Toyota really producing ultimate moneysucking and cost-cutting machine???? Even Kancil 660 also have that feature, why don’t you?
