The newly announced Toyota Fortuner 2018 version focuses on improvements in comfort and safety while the design remains almost the same.

Having only been launched for the first time 2 years ago, the new generation Fortuner is still a fairly new car line. However, the version of the Toyota Fortuner 2018 model has just been "launched" by the Japanese car company in the first market, Thailand, with small improvements in comfort and safety. |
 |
In terms of design, the Fortuner 2018 remains the same, with almost no changes, using the "Keen Look" language that is sharper than the previous generation, to bring a beauty that is both "cold" and strong. You have to be really observant to realize that the car has added LED fog lights, new side turn signals on both sides of the rearview mirror, redesigned side steps and slightly modified taillights. |
 |
Similar to the exterior, the interior of the Fortuner 2018 is also kept the same by Toyota. Although the layout of the details is identical to the Hilux, the dashboard of the new generation Fortuner is designed completely differently, making the car look more premium. At the same time, the materials used on the car also create a more luxurious feel than the Hilux. |
 |
On the high-end versions, Fortuner is now equipped with an 8-way electric passenger seat. Previously, this car line also had electric seats, but only the driver's seat could be adjusted. The rear seats of the car have independent air-conditioning vents, can fold back 60/40 and can be adjusted manually. |
 |
In the Thai market, Fortuner 2018 will still be equipped with 2 different turbo diesel engines: 2.4l (150 PS/400 Nm) and 2.8l (177 PS/450 Nm). In addition, the car also has a 2.7l naturally aspirated gasoline engine (166 PS/245 Nm). Depending on the version, the car will have rear-wheel/4-wheel drive and connect to a 6-speed manual/6-speed automatic transmission. |
 |
Another worthy upgrade of the Fortuner 2018 is the rear disc brake system instead of drum brakes, helping to shorten the braking distance of the car. The remaining safety equipment of the car has not changed compared to the 2017 model. In Thailand, the price of the Fortuner 2018 will be sold a little more expensive than the old model, starting from 1.239 million Baht (equivalent to 846 million VND) and reaching 1.759 million Baht (equivalent to 1.2 billion VND) for the highest version. |
