Toyota Australia has confirmed that it will add the Hilux-based Fortuner seven-seat off-roader to its broad range of SUV offerings in the near future.
Speaking with TMR at the local reveal of the all-new Hilux utility, Toyota Australia sales chief Tony Cramb revealed that approval has finally been given to bring the Fortuner to local showrooms.
With sales slowly rising in the body-on-frame seven-seat SUV segment currently populated by the Holden Colorado 7, Isuzu MU-X and Mitsubishi Challenger, the Fortuner’s arrival will allow Toyota to capitalise on growing demand for more rugged family-sized offroaders.
The segment will grow even further in the near future, with the coming debut of Ford's new Ranger-based Everest SUV.
