Toyota Fortuner, likewise called Toyota Hilux SW4 or simply Toyota SW4, is a mid-size SUV, extremely popular in Thailand, the Philippines, and India. The Japanese automaker doesn't use it neither in Europe nor in The United States and Canada. It is based upon the IMV platform established by Toyota and the initial design was produced in Thailand.

The brand-new generation has actually brought lots of innovations and we'll just rapidly review some of them.

Toyota wished to distinct Fortuner from Hilux considering that these 2 uses "Keen Look" design and had practically the very same interior. They also utilized the very same transmission, engines, and chassis. 2016 design was available in 3 trim levels: G, VRZ, and SRZ. The last two were introduced instead of TRD Sportivo and have some extra features. We can't expect that 2018 design will bring anything revolutionary, but it certainly deserves our attention. Although there is still a lot of time up until its release some speculations have actually already appeared.
