In the current guise, the Fortuner sports a more distinctive, sleek yet striking and powerful design. The new Fortuner may share some under-the-skin artillery with its tough-as-nails Hilux sibling, but in terms of design, they’re poles apart.

TSAM has also ensured there’s sufficient infrastructural expertise in the country to support the new Fortuner. “It can transform seamlessly from a sophisticated urban warrior to a fierce bush conqueror.” “The new Fortuner has a long, wider stance versus the outgoing model, and its capabilities to adapt into every environment like a chameleon have been reinforced,” says Calvyn Hamman, sales and marketing Senior Vice president of Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM). The first-generation Fortuner was launched in 2006 in South Africa and soon became the SUV of choice for bush and urban lifestyle enthusiasts alike. Two decades later, a much more refined design with similar underpinnings to the Hilux Surf was introduced as the Toyota Fortuner to more than 110 markets in 2005. It dates back as far as 1984, when a midsize SUV called the Hilux Surf was introduced and sold to selected markets, including Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The origins of the Fortuner are interesting. That’s the true luxury of freedom – and this is embodied in the new Toyota Fortuner. It’s the ability to go anywhere you like, whenever you want. But what exactly is freedom? In short, it’s whatever we want it to be – enjoying life without inhibitions. We all want and love freedom, or at least the idea of it.

All models will feature front wheel drive while the 2.8 litre model will have the option of all-wheel drive. There’s also a 2.7-litre petrol motor, but it remains to be seen if we will receive this variant. Both the motors will come mated to a 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions.

The engines, referred to as 1GD or GD series, employ highly efficient fuel-injection systems and intake/exhaust ports. The 2.4-litre motor generates maximum power of 120Kw and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Toyota will equip the new Fortuner with it’s newly developed advanced 2.4 and 2.8 litre turbo-diesel engines. No other company has sold 40,000 SUVs in a single year. Toyota sells more SUVs in Australia than any other brand, having delivered more than 50,000 in each of the past three years.

“Fortuner provides a diesel alternative to the petrol-only Kluger range as the new entry point for customers looking to purchase a large Toyota diesel SUV.” “At the same time, Fortuner’s unique design suits the advanced tastes of modern SUV buyers while being equipped with a comprehensive list of features appreciated by families and business owners.” “Fortuner shares the rugged underpinnings of the ‘unbreakable’ Hilux, allowing owners to travel to – and return from – places many other SUVs simply can’t go.” “Fortuner’s strength and refinement ensures it is equally at home on the school run as on the toughest off-road trails found in Australia,” Mr Cramb said. Toyota Australia’s sales and marketing director, Tony Cramb, had this to say at the world premiere:
