Toyota’s new Fortuner 4WD wagon was unveiled this week, ahead of an Australian arrival from October.

Expected at an entry price below the $46,990 FJ Cruiser, the Fortuner will be powered by the same 2.8 litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder used by 4x4 variants of the HiLux. A 4WD driveline will be standard.

Earlier in the week, the Fortuner was spied in the metal in Thailand giving our first clear view of the new model which was unveiled days later.


Hyundai Australia announced key prices and specifications for its all-new Tucson range, which will launch on August 1 as a larger, better-equipped replacement for the ix35.

And while the ix35 sits in the small SUV category, the Tucson is a medium-sized offering with a 2670mm wheelbase, 4475mm overall length, 1850mm width and 1655mm height (1660mm with roof rails), making it longer, wider and lower than the car it replaces.

Cabin space benefits as a result, with Hyundai saying the new Tucson offers "substantially more" than the ix35.
