There is something right that Toyota has done or is doing to keep attracting customers to Fortuner in their numbers.
Since its first landing on South African soil in 2006, no other SUV has been able to threaten its position in this segment. As the late legendary Tina Turner said “simply the best”.
Toyota had recently updated this hotter-than-hot cake model making a few interior and exterior changes.
The lights are the most noticeable change to the exterior with the clear intention of giving a more assertive look. The interior spots a dual-tones.
The new Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GD6 4×4 is what one would describe as a perfect family vehicle. Being a market leader, this is not a nameplate Toyota messes around with, they have managed to keep clean and ahead of the pack for many years. This seven-seater Toyota offers the best of both worlds, doubling as an adventure vehicle when needed.
It takes off-road driving to new heights, performing very much like its older sibling, the Hilux. From the moment you lay eyes on it, you can sense that Toyota has put in a lot of effort to create a vehicle that is both rugged and refined.
From its sleek lines to its solid and muscular body, the Toyota Fortuner exudes power and strength. The 2.8 GD6 engine delivers a formidable punch while maintaining excellent fuel economy. The 4×4 system is as capable as they come, allowing you to take on even the toughest terrain with confidence.
The Fortuner is one of those rare gems, it holds its value, and it is as reliable as a camel. The Fortuner firmly holds a 40% market share in its segment and by the looks of things, this is going to be the case for a while to come.
But what really sets the Toyota Fortuner apart is the level of comfort and convenience it offers. Inside, the cabin is spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of room for passengers and their gear. The seats are supportive and plush, and the infotainment system is intuitive and feature-rich.
Whether you’re tackling steep inclines, navigating through deep mud, or simply cruising down the highway, the Toyota Fortuner doesn’t miss a beat. It’s a vehicle that is all about delivering performance, comfort, and style in equal measure. Driving to the Nampo Harvest show in Bothaville seemed like a local trip to the shop, thanks to Fortuner’s road manners.
Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GD6 4×4 is an outstanding vehicle that is a joy to drive both on and off the road. If you’re someone who values quality, reliability, and versatility in your SUV.
From R653 500 for a base model 2.4 GD-6 manual transmission right up to R925 600 for the top ranging 2.8 GD-6 VX Bi-Tone, you will find a model that suits your pocket.
