Overview

The Toyota Fortuner is a seven-seat, four-wheel-drive SUV in the Truck/4X4 class, aimed at buyers who need three rows and a choice of petrol or diesel power. The GUN156 facelift generation launched in 2021. Prices start from RM195,880 for the 2.4 AT 4x4 and rise to RM241,880.

Fortuner in 2026 — what's new

No Malaysian 2026 specification change or replacement launch is confirmed, so the GUN156 facelift carries into 2026 with three seven-seat 4x4 automatic variants: 2.4 diesel, 2.7 SRZ petrol and 2.8 VRZ diesel. A 2026 Fortuner has been spied with a heavy facelift and carry-over body structure, but that does not confirm Malaysian specifications, equipment or launch timing. The 2024 optional GR bodykit is available for the 2.4 diesel and 2.7 SRZ petrol at RM3,990.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should pick the RM195,880 2.4 AT 4x4. It is the least expensive Fortuner, yet still gets diesel power, four-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox and seven seats. The RM202,880 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4 costs RM7,000 more for petrol power and 164 hp, versus 148 hp from the 2.4 diesel. The RM241,880 2.8 VRZ AT 4x4 is for buyers who want the 202 hp diesel; it costs RM46,000 more than the 2.4.

Verdict

The Fortuner keeps the brief simple: a seven-seat 4x4 SUV with two diesel choices and one petrol alternative. The 2.4 diesel is the sensible entry point, while the 2.8 VRZ asks a substantial RM46,000 more for its 54 hp advantage. Diesel buyers should also investigate the January 2024 shipment stoppage involving Fortuner diesel models, after non-standard ECUs were used in output tests.
