The rollout of the new 2016 Toyota Fortuner in the region continues – after being unveiled in Thailand in July and making its way to Australia in October, the Hilux-based SUV’s next stop is Indonesia later in the month.
Three variants will be available in three variants – 2.4 G and 2.4 VRZ diesels and range-topping 2.7 SRZ petrol, with both 4×2 and 4×4 versions offered. The diesel models are powered by the new 2.4 litre 2GD-FTV engine that features common-rail direct injection and variable nozzle turbocharging, pushing out 150 hp at 3,400 rpm and 400 Nm from 1,600-2,000 rpm.
On the petrol side sits a revised 2.7 litre mill, now lighter and with Dual VVT-i, improved combustion and less friction; it churns out 166 hp at 5,200 rpm and 245 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The base G gets the option of either a six-speed “intelligent” manual transmission with rev-matching or a six-speed automatic with ECO and Power modes; the rest are auto-only.
Other details regarding the Indonesian-market Fortuner remain scarce, but it is confirmed that it will feature a powered tailgate, as well as an “advanced infotainment system” and “absolute safety” – the latter likely being seven airbags – on the VRZ and SRZ.
To be built at Toyota’s Karawang factory there, the new Fortuner will have a big task to top sales of the current truck, which leads the 4×2 SUV segment there with a 25% market share in the period of January to October 2015 despite being an ageing model due for a replacement.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Malaysia stay within 2000 and late parameters.
I will soon get my 5th Lexus with all good sales. Work hard you kimchi driver. Buy a sushi is your dream.
So….when malaysia ._.???
In overseas, especially Indonesia, Toyota is highly respected. But in Malaysia, Toyota now has become a laughing stock. If you buy one, people secretly laugh at you thinking you are the dumbest person in town cause the Toyota is heavily stripped of its safety features. Now somemore, Picanto, comes with 6 airbags and can be safer than a Camry!
Malaysians already now know how Toyota has been cheating people. Until today, even RM150k Camry got no VSC and only 2 airbags. Paultan already wrote long article how vital VSC is 3 years ago and yet UMW don’t care a damn for our lives.
Global price of Camry with 10 airbags and VSC is US$22,000. Besides VSC and 10 airbags, the global Camry has about 20 other safety features that is NOT in our Camry. These features are standard and free on the global Camry. our Camry RM160k also no VSC, and only 2 airbags.
UMW don’t care about your life. you die or vegetable, they don’t care, janji untung lebih. they take out safety features to save cost. Yet, they charge us 3x the global price of US$22k. We buy for RM180k a heavily stripped down car. Same with Altis. Same with Vios.
Worse still, it is CKD and Made in Malaysia. The price is even cheaper. If US Toyota is sold at US22k and still make a profit, you can bet that UMW will get this car at country distributor price of US15k. CKD it, it will be US$12k (about RM40k). But they sell to Malaysians for RM180k. This is Camry, imagine how cheap the factory Innova will be!
Camry Hybrid even better. US$26k. Come to Malaysia no tax. But sold for RM175k
I think you are the real vegetable.
Repeating your same speech over again in each post.
its important to let people know this, this the first time i read it.
You should recognise trolling when you see it for the first time.
He is one of those sorhai tai lan ngong that was shown the Hilux when he tried to trade in his kimchi.
It was a 19 month old Elantra, so we only offered RM20k for it. So he dulan now, blame sushis for the low RV is his kimchi
