Which variant to buy
Start with the 2.4 AT 4x4 at RM195,880. It gets the same seven-seat layout, conventional automatic gearbox and 4x4 driveline as the dearer versions, with a 2,393 cc diesel making 148 hp. The 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4 costs RM202,880 and switches to a 2,694 cc petrol engine with 164 hp. Choose the 2.8 VRZ AT 4x4 at RM241,880 only if the 2,755 cc diesel’s 202 hp matters; the gap from the 2.4 is RM46,000.

Verdict
The Fortuner is straightforward: a seven-seat 4x4 SUV with automatic gearboxes across the range and a choice of petrol or diesel power. In this Truck/4X4 SUV class, it starts below the Ford Everest and far below the G-Class pair. But the jump to the 2.8 VRZ is large, and on paper that decision rests mainly on wanting the stronger diesel.
