Toyota Fortuner

[Mr Lee]

Hi All,

Finally, the Toyota Fortuner is arriving in AU. The car is only in Diesel 2.8L 4 cylinder with 7.6L/100km.

Now that coupled with true offroad and stylish design is what a Kluger should have been. This car has been in South Africa for years and exceptional value. When I asked Toyota last year if this was arriving; they had no knowledge of this news.

Will you upgrade to the new Fortuner?

Not a big fan of the Fortuner styling, the current model Kluger is much more attractive. however i have only seen pics so will reserve my judgement until I've seen and sat in one. Ready to trade-in our 2008 KX-S Kluger with 200,000+ km and there is a lot to choose from nowadays

I went and saw it a couple of days ago.They only had the top of the range model. A bit pricey for me.On first inspection they dont look too bad but I was dissapointed to be told that the Navigational system is not available on the two other models only the crusade.

That's typical toyota ! Sometimes a bit of haggling can get you the navi thrown in but not often.

Is a bit pricey and there are options from other brands that (same say) have more presence.

Gonna be a game of wait and see. Hopefully the build quality is better and more reliable than the Kluger

Well, apprently the new 2.8L engine needs to work hard to keep the car moving. And still more pricey than Isuzu Mu-X. The Ford Everest.......
