"Appearing alongside the 2021 Toyota Innova is the 2021 Toyota Fortuner. The refreshed, locally-assembled (CKD) 7-seater SUV comes with an exterior refresh and beyond that, a new engine from the Toyota Hilux Rogue.
The headlining new feature here is the engine fitted on the range-topping 2.8 VRZ 4x4. It's now fitted with the Hilux Rogue's 2.8-litre turbodiesel (1GD-FTV) engine that makes 204 PS and 500 Nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 2.7 SRZ keeps its 166 PS/245 Nm engine and the 2.4 variant (only available in East Malaysia) runs on the same 150 PS, 400 Nm petrol-powered mill as before.
The facelifted Fortuner bears a new face with bi-beam (2.7 SRZ) or quad-beam (2.8 VRZ) LED headlights. There's a set of new 18-inch, dual-tone wheels too. Beyond that, there's a choice of six colours - Medium Silver Metallic, Silver Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, Phantom Brown Metallic, Super White II and the new Bronze Mica Metallic, from which the White and Bronze can be specified with black A-pillars, side mirrors, roof spoiler and roof (2.8 VRZ only).
Moving inside, the red/black dual-tone interior sports a new marble-like pattern around the gearlever surround. The 2.7 SRZ and 2.8 VRZ variants also get ambient lighting, electrochromic rearview mirror, and electric seats adjustment for both the driver and front passenger. Also, the Fortuner is now equipped with a hands-free, powered tailgate with a kick sensor.
Another notable inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on the 2.8-litre VRZ variant. The system includes Pre-collision System (AEB), Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Yaw Assist Function.
Prices for the Fortuner are: RM 203,183 (2.8 VRZ), RM 172,244 (2.7 SRZ) and RM 167,357 (2.4 AT)."

Driving Performance
Engine performance
The 2.4-litre diesel engine has a linear torque delivery and makes daily driving smoother and more effortless. The 2.7-litre petrol engine benefits from better refinement and power in the upper rev range, but not as torquey.
Transmission performance
Shifts are clean and precise. It responds reasonably quick to throttle inputs when power mode is selected.
Steering and handling
For its weight and height, it handles respectably for what it is. It does not lean excessively during high-speed bends and maintains composure in most situations.
Ride Comfort
Sound proofing
Cabin noise level is low, even at highway speeds. The diesel clatter fades at a cruise and tyre noise is very well subdued. Although like any tall-riding SUVs, wind noise makes itself heard at highway speeds.
Passenger comfort
Due to its ride height, the pendulum effect is rather apparent as passengers are more prone to motion sickness. Suspension pliancy is on the busier side, even more so with larger wheels. Seats are supportive for thighs and lumbar, which aids long-distance comfort.
Fuel Economy
Fuel Consumption
According to Toyota Company, the Toyota Fortuner owns a fuel economy around 10-litre / 100 km.
Conclusion
The Toyota Fortuner is a dependable 7-seater SUV with a tough ladder frame chassis that is advantageous in off-road situations. It would suit those in East Malaysia where SUVs are almost a necessity. And many are fond of its looks.
However, rivals like the Hyundai Santa Fe and Mazda CX-8 with their monocoque chassis provides better handling and comfort. Although they are not as capable off-road.
