The Toyota Fortuner range has been expanded with the addition of two new diesel variants – the Fortuner 2.4 VRZ 4×4 and Fortuner 2.4 VRZ 4×2 – offering customers more choices and to cater to a wider customer group. The two new variants are positioned between the
top-of- the-line Fortuner 2.7 SRZ 4×4 and the Fortuner 2.4 4×4. The carried over 2.4L turbo-diesel engines for the two new variants continue to deliver a strong driving experience.
The new variants maintain the design theme of ‘Luxury & Prestigious’ which combines a tough image with refined and sophisticated styling that offers comfortable accommodation in the 3-row, 7-seater cabin. Like the Fortuner 2.7 SRZ 4×4, the two new Fortuner VRZ variants come with additional equipment among which include Bi-LED projector headlamps,
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), 7 SRS Airbags, Automatic air-conditioning, Leather seats, and a Power Back Door which can be opened and closed at the touch of a button – a feature that is usually found only on more expensive SUVs.
Also newly available are front LED-type fog lamps, and Cruise control. As for new 4×4 features, the Fortuner 2.7 SRZ 4×4 and Fortuner 2.4 VRZ 4×4 variants now come with Downhill Assist Control (DAC). All variants are now updated with rear disc brakes. As for the Hilux, which has been the best-selling pick-up truck in Malaysia for 12 years, major upgrades and improvements enhance off-road performance, convenience, and safety. As before, there are 6 variants to suit different budgets and requirements, whether they are just for work or for personal use or a combination of both.
The major enhancements relate to convenience and comfort features which have been added following customer feedback and demand. These include cruise control, automatic air-conditioning, USB charging ports, and an additional vent to bring cool air to the rear passengers for a more comfortable journey.
Using the immense power of electronics, new systems have been developed which can make driving easier, safer and more enjoyable. In the Hilux 2.8G and 2.4G AT variants, besides Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) which can prevent the vehicle from spinning out of control on a slippery corner, there is also Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and Active Traction Control (A-TRC). VSC has now also been added to the Hilux 2.4G with manual transmission, along with HAC and A-TRC. The Hilux 2.8G also comes with Downhill Assist Control (DAC) to make driving down a steep slope easier and safer. Safety has been stepped up further by expanding the availability of 7 airbags to the 2.4G AT variant as well.
