Indonesia

There the Fortuner was presented for the first time at the Jakarta International Motor Show 2005. It fills the gap between the RAV4 and the Land Cruiser.

Originally it was available as 2.7 G and 2.7 V . The 2.5 G model was added later . The 3.0 l V6 turbo diesel is not officially offered in Indonesia, but was introduced specifically for use in Sumatra and Kalimantan , where it proved to be very popular.

The 2.7 G has the well-known 2.7 l R4 engine with four-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. This model is particularly popular in large cities because of its automatic transmission. The 2.7 V also has all-wheel drive and has proven itself outside of Java , where there are consistently bad roads. The 2.5 G was added later, but is considered to be underpowered for its size due to its diesel engine with only 102 bhp (75 kW). It has a manual five-speed gearbox. Its higher ground clearance version has been criticized as unsafe and not aerodynamic at higher speeds. Nevertheless, the car sells quite well, as many Indonesians trust the Toyota brand. It is also considered economical in the long run.

When it was released, the Fortuner sold well in Indonesia, but could never outperform the smaller Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail as these SUVs are considered more effective and better suited for urban use. In the country, however, the Fortuner has advantages, as you can transport many people with it. The former President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono , privately owned a gray four-wheel drive Fortuner, with which he was often seen in his campaigns for the 2009 presidential election.

Singapore

The Fortuner was launched in Singapore in 2005 and immediately received an enthusiastic response. The problem was finding parking space for this SUV in the urban jungle. Its height of 1.85 m can cause difficulties especially in parking garages. Less than 1,000 of the 2009 model have been sold so far (as of August 2009).

South America

In South America the model was initially offered as Hilux SW4, from the facelift simply as SW4. It was the successor to the Toyota 4Runner (N180), which was also offered under this name. Production started at Toyota Argentina in 2005.

2009 model

In August 2008, a slightly revised model of the Fortuner came out. It has new headlights with projector lenses, a new dashboard, new taillights, a DVD-based navigation system, a Bluetooth connection, a new interior in light beige, an electronically adjustable driver's seat in the all-wheel drive models, air outlets for the air conditioning for the second and third row of seats, one newly developed stability control, traction control and electronic brake force distribution with brake assist. Its front is similar to that of the Land Cruiser.
