2021 Toyota Fortuner Review, Specs, Price


Toyota has revealed their facelifted 2021 Fortuner range, which has been released alongside the updated 2021 HiLux. Along with a new look, Toyota’s ute-based seven-seat SUV gains a more powerful driveline, a handful of specification changes and a bump in retail prices.

The range now starts from $49,080 for GX specification, which is followed by mid-range GXL at $54,350. Crusade remains the top specification, and has now broken into the next tier, priced at $61,410. (All prices are before on-road costs.) Those prices have gone up by $3115 for GX, $3560 for GXL and $3120 for Crusade, compared to the outgoing (pre-facelift) model.

Under the bonnet, the new Fortuner benefits from Toyota’s reworked 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine. Outputs have improved to 150kW at 3400rpm and 500Nm at 1600-2800rpm.

The new Fortuner will only be available with an automatic transmission, with the option of a manual phased out back in 2018. The six-speed automatic transmission, which is still sourced from Aisin, has been recalibrated to give more frequent torque converter lock-up. Toyota tells us this is for improved fuel efficiency and cooler running, as well as helping off-the-line acceleration. Along with improved performance, Toyota claims the Fortuner uses 11.6 per cent less fuel, on the combined cycle. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.6L/100km.

The side steps are sturdy and meant my six-year-old could climb in and out despite the tall ride height. Also helping him were hand grips moulded into the plastic trim around the B-pillar at 'kid height' for children to hold onto.

Then there are the rubber floor mats, which after a week were covered in mud, sand and potato chips, but I could pull the entire rear mat out and hose off the evidence. There's plenty of room in the second row  (pictured: Fortuner GXL 2021).There's plenty of room in the second row (pictured: Fortuner GXL 2021).

Cabin space is also good and while the third row is too cramped for me at 191cm (6'3") tall, I can sit behind my driving position with plenty of legroom in the second row. The doors have bottle holders, there are cupholders, trays and hidey holes in all three rows, there’s a cooled glove box and a centre console bin large enough to store a small backpack.

All Fortuners have seven seats and this is where we come to the 'why-did-they-do-that?' moment. That third row doesn’t fold flat, instead the seats fold up towards the side windows and are fastened into position there. Not only does this eat into your cargo space, but, if not fastened properly the heavy seats can fall back down and as a parent I was concerned about small hands or fingers being in the way.

The cargo capacity with third row folded that way is 716 litres, but with them in place you have 200 litres of boot space behind them. USB ports are thin on the ground in all grades with just one up front, although there are three 12V outlets on board and the Crusade also gets a 220V power point. All three rows have directional air vents, with fan speed adjustment in the very back seats.

This new driveline also improves the Fortuner’s towing credentials, with a braked towing capacity going up by 300kg to 3100kg. The 2021 Fortuner’s Gross Combination Mass has only improved by five kilograms, now up to 5550kg. Steering has also been overhauled in the new Toyota Fortuner. While many other SUVs and four-wheel-drives are moving to electrically-assisted power steering, the Fortuner is sticking with hydraulic power steering technology.

This new system, however, is updated with a variable-flow power-steering pump, which lightens steering resistance at low speed, and then gradually firms up steering feel at higher speeds. It is also tuned to especially accommodate off-road driving, when low-range is engaged.

Along with rear parking sensors, the new Fortuner now gets the same treatment up-front. There’s also bi-LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels and dark grey fabric trim. The infotainment system has been updated, which is now 8.0-inch across the range. This is one inch larger than the previous model, and the system now supports Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

There’s also now a rotary volume dial for easier control, and a digital speed readout through the 4.2-inch multifunction display. GX specification misses out on satellite navigation and digital radio, which can be optioned in for $1000. GXL gets these two features as standard, along with single-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, roof rails, LED fog lamps, privacy glass and hill-descent control.

Optional equipment for the GXL specification is a $2500 interior pack, which bundles eight-way electrically adjustable front seats and leather-accented trimming, features which are standard on top-specification Crusade. Along with the more premium interior fitout, Crusade also gets a powered tailgate, electrochromatic rear-view mirror, darker woodgrain interior trims and an 11-speaker JBL sound system. There is also ‘high-grade’ headlights on the outside, as well as 18-inch alloy wheels.

The 2021 Toyota Fortuner will retain its five-star ANCAP safety rating from 2019, with safety features like high-speed active cruise control and lane-departure alert with steering assist. There is also a pre-collision safety system with autonomous emergency braking, which has pedestrian (day/night) and cyclist (day) detection.
