Indeed, the 2.8 GD-6 models have been upgraded with dual-zone climate control while the flagship VX derivative benefits from a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) with selectable view and an 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system. Toyota’s satellite navigation has also been culled as customers prefer using smartphone apps such as Waze and Google Maps.

On the safety front of things, all Fortuner models now come equipped as standard with an enhanced Smart Entry system with additional security measures. The range-topping VX models sport an enhanced Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) system that sees the inclusion of Blind-Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). The VX also sports a refreshed colour palette with Pearl White being replaced by the Platinum White Pearl
