Will Malaysians Get A New Toyota Fortuner In 2025
Yes, the Toyota Fortuner is expected to have a new model or updates in 2025. Specifically, the Toyota Fortuner GR-Sport which was supposed to be launched late in 2024 and displayed at the 2025 ASEAN motor shows. Looking at this shared image of a 2025 model Fortuner, looks like another best seller for Toyota Asia Pacific but can it be priced to compete with the dozens of new and exciting SUVs from Chinese auto manufacturers.
In India, where the current Fortuner is a segment leader is also expected to receive updates in terms of styling and engine options in 2025. Remember, the last Fortuner update back in 2021 and it was a very minor physical update. Then there was the 2024 iteration of the Fortuner which brought an all-new GR Bodykit as an optional accessory upgrade to Fortuner 2.7 SRZ or Fortuner 2.4. The GR Bodykit included the following:
- Front Bumper Skirt
- Front Fog Lamp Garnish
- Rear Bumper Skirt
All this time the Fortuner has been manufactured in Thailand and the 48V mild hybrid system has not yet been integrated into the production process for Australian market where this Fortuner is also a popular model. This has led to some uncertainty about when or if the new Fortuner will become available to Australian buyers.
The current long serving Toyota Fortuner boasts of a power-packed 6-speed Diesel and Petrol AT as well as MT engine (in selected ASEAN markets like Australia and India) capable of turning mountains into molehills.
With its 4×4 capability and easy maintenance, this popular Fortuner makes blazing new trails and conquering uncharted territory easy for ASEAN buyers outside of city limits.
