Details of the new Toyota Fortuner 2018 updated

Last month, UMW Toyota revealed the updated Fortuner with two new diesel engine options and a few cosmetic changes.

At launch, Toyota only announced the prices of the 2.4 AT 4x4 diesel and 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4 petrol models, but now the full price list is available and takes effect immediately.

UMW Toyota announces detailed prices for Fortuner 2018.

Prices for the new 2.4 VRZ variants are MYR 185,500 (around VND 997 million) for the 4x2 model and MYR 195,800 (around VND 1.05 billion) for the 4x4 model, higher than the MYR 181,800 (around VND 977 million) price of the 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4, which is currently at the top of the range. Meanwhile, the 2.4 AT 4x4 is still the cheapest model in the stable, priced at MYR 169,800 (around VND 912 million).

Changes for 2018 are fairly minor, with LED front fog lights on the 2.4 VRZ and 2.7 SRZ models, and the addition of standard disc brakes on all versions.

Disc brakes are now standard on all 2018 Fortuner models.

With the new versions, the 2.4 VRZ 4x2 and 4x4 models are quite similar to the 2.7 SRZ in terms of specifications, so it is not surprising that the price offered is higher than the petrol model.

The kit includes automatic bi-LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, door lights, remote start, push-button start, a 4.2-inch multi-color display, automatic climate control, cruise control, brown leather upholstery, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a power tailgate and a DVD-AVX entertainment system with an eight-inch touchscreen and six speakers. The SRZ 2.7 has the advantage of a navigation system.

In terms of safety, the 2.4 VRZ models get the same seven airbags as the 2.7 SRZ (including a driver's knee airbag), along with a host of safety features. The base 2.4 model gets three airbags and no stability control.

Specifications remain the same.

Mechanically, everything remains the same. The 2.4-litre model is powered by a 2GD-FTV 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine that produces 150 PS and 400 Nm, while the SRS 2.7 SRZ gets a 2TR-FE 2.7-litre naturally aspirated VVT-i petrol engine that produces 166 PS and 245 Nm.

All models have a six-speed automatic transmission, with the 2.4 VRZ and 2.7 SRZ getting paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The 2.4 VRZ 4x2 is rear-wheel drive, while all other models have part-time four-wheel drive with an automatic disengagement differential and a locking rear differential.

The new accessory packages include the TRD Sportivo body kit priced at MYR4,982 which includes a black grille, aerodynamics, body stripes, and special floor mats. There is also a panoramic view monitor priced at MYR2,650 and a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert priced at MYR1,855./.
