Toyota Fortuner Spied With HiLux-Style Overhaul as Australia Exit Stands

Overview

• Camouflaged prototypes in Thailand reveal new front and rear styling with slimmer LED headlights, a lower honeycomb grille and a full-width rear light bar, while the doors and roof appear unchanged.
• Reporting indicates the SUV will continue on Toyota’s IMV ladder-frame architecture, closely tracking the new HiLux rather than adopting an all-new platform.
• Powertrain details are expected to mirror the HiLux with a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder, six-speed transmission options and mild-hybrid assistance, with market-dependent driveline choices.
• Interior changes have not been shown, but outlets expect a redesigned dashboard with dual 12.3-inch displays and upgraded driver-assistance features borrowed from the HiLux and Land Cruiser Prado.
• Toyota Australia says it will not offer the updated Fortuner locally, with the outgoing model discontinued and remaining stock being sold down through mid-2026.
