In October 2021, the Fortuner received yet another variant in its lineup. On a related note, the 2.7-liter was also removed from the Toyota Innova lineup following an update for the 2021 model year of the MPV. Following the update, Toyota removed the gasoline 2.7-liter engine option in the Fortuner lineup. A separate facelift was also brought to the Philippines for the lower variants of the SUV along with updated 2.4-liter and 2.8-liter engine options. It comes with two new faces thanks to the addition of a new top-of-the-line variant known as the LTD trim, which features a number of rugged reinforcements. Toyota Philippines launched the facelifted version of the Toyota Fortuner on October 17, 2020.
This was met with a redesign that Toyota Motor Philippines stated was “a more distinctive, sleek, and powerful design while improving its performance.” This generation's launch introduced three engine options to the market, with a base 2.7L gasoline engine and newer 2.4L and 2.8L diesel engines. The Fortuner also has the advantage of having better amenities compared to the cars it shares its platform with.īack in 2016, the Fortuner came at an opportune time for Toyota to cement the nameplate's status as the best-selling SUV in the Philippines. Inside, the Fortuner can seat seven people, with the option to fold the third-row seats to the side in order to accommodate more cargo. Design-wise, the refreshed version of the Fortuner is sleeker than before, plus, buyers get to opt for a sportier and more rugged LTD trim, which could either be had in a 4x2 or 4x4 configuration.
The Hilux and the Innova share this platform, along with the engine options but with varying outputs. The Toyota Fortuner is a body-on-frame SUV that rides on the IMV platform. Fast-forward to October 2020, and the Toyota Motor Philippines finally brings in the updated version of the midsize SUV. The second-generation model has been consistently topping the sales chart, not only in its segment but for the entire Philippine automotive industry as well. This ladder-frame vehicle has been around since the early 2000s and has since become a household name thanks to its rugged platform and tested durability thanks to its robust platform and strong brand support. The Toyota Fortuner is the best-selling midsize SUV in the Philippines.
