Toyota has unveiled the latest update to the Toyota Fortuner at the 2011 Indonesian International Motor Show. This is the second time the Fortuner has been facelifted, which is expected as this has been the trend for Toyota’s IMV models for developing countries. The Fortuner was last updated in 2008.
Toyota seems to be making the Fortuner look bolder and bolder, which was also the trend when the original Fortuner was changed in 2008. Toyota gave the 2008 facelift a wider and stronger front end compared to the original, and with this latest 2011 update, the Fortuner takes on a similar look to the flagship Toyota Landcruiser at the front.
The rear tail lamps have been given a clear lens look, which reminds me of the first generation Toyota Harrier.
On the inside, the Fortuner gets an updated steering wheel design, as well as some minor changes and rearrangements to the upper half of the dashboard.
Look after the jump for a full gallery of the new 2011 Fortuner.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Toyota Advancing…….
Come on Toyota can’t even have some soft touch plastics in the car?
Your price isn’t exactly cheap you know.
the car is so bling……….. but when go to showroom, you need to buy the rim separately.. everything else.. sigh……
In appearance only. Inside still has the under-performed, over-rated crap.
what the heck…i dont care underpower or not…yang penting minyak safe…my kereta idaman..tunggu i naik pangkat..sure angkat satu weh…huhuhu..
Again, another case of Japanese underestimating Asian auto market. Don’t know why! They like to give us obsolete products instead of latest model selling in North America. Now we talk about flat world but not for those Japanese. What has made them treat us unequally? If you manage to go to USA, then you will know what I am talking about. Go to do some surveys. we can afford luxury cars. We are deserving better cars since our market is equally as big as of North America do.
Most of us, pretty blind when thinking over buying a car. No wonder Japanese dare to offer this crap to us and not North America.
Gimme Toyota Highlander or at least 4Runner anytime over this IMV.
i agree with you ray.. i still feel like most of the retard japs look at us malaysian like a bunch of dungu.. Mother Shoes! Anyway, i would choose an ALZA over Vios… and City, anytime!
Spot!! VW Bumper’s design!! Toyota is copying plain VW bumper desing… OMG… I dun really like that boxy plain bumper laa..
dont see you saying sorento copy vw bumper?
aiyark…the tail light look more china car…i prefered the current face…btw..IIMS look more “meriah” than our KLIMS..
Huiyo… back so ugly and damn outdated.. tail light use old stock ah?
wahlan leh… wtf is this?? Old Harrier + Alphard + Bling Bling = nah for Asian market.
Toyota doing things backward…. Using d 1st generation Harrier tail lamp???
..look ok lah compare to his brother altis over-priced and dugong vios!!! Yeah, the bumper oso taking VW design…,seriously toyota need a good reliable designer!!
this crap is even worse than the famous dugong!!! its seriously overpriced as it is essentially just a hilux inside out.
is it just me, or the front bumper kinda looks like the one in the new sorento? =.=
Front = like land cruiser = nice
Back = like old harrier, aftermarket look = ugly
i can believe toyota is still milking from this ancient IMV overpriced junk!!!
this fortuner is just a hilux with a proper roof and toyota can charge 180k for this crap!!? only gov will buy this rubbish. they are used to buying everything at a high premium anyway.
mine one better still. the new facelift looks mild. but top speed capped at 160km/h. also fuel consumption like hell. oh, it’s a 2.7 petrol.
Cewek Indonesia bisa tahan canteknya… perghhhh.
Look like Toyota try to mimic Proton in extending their shelf life for IMV products as long as possible! Shame on you T brand.
boring design this days from toyota..come on lah..facelift again..haizzzz..and yess the bumper..sigh..VW deisgn..
All models modified with aftermarket parts.. looks weird to me especially that bling bling rims
Why is it when it’s an upgrade or facelift for toyotas, they put in those ugly, silver transparent rear lamps??
SuperUGLY dinasour . Won’t buy (although I am able to buy it with cash).
this fl fortuner is kinda carry toyota/lexus land cruiser’s trend…overall is lower tech feel when it park site to new sorento or even santa fe
Price is believe to be not far from current tag so should consider d korean one…
Sportage is nice
: )
Agreed with the author, the rear lamp looks similar to after market first gen harrier. Not very nice. The tyre looks too low profile for an off roader. maybe suitable for urban driving.Does it come with VNT?
How many gear does Toyota Forturner facelift ?
Wonder when is the official launch in Malaysia??
I saw the latest fortuner in an advertisement on the local paper yesterday (I am from the Philippines). There was only one photo so I decided to check out paultan.org. (Yes, we Filipinos also love Paul Tan :-) ) Anyway I like the Facelifted model much better than the outgoing model except for that really hideous butt ugly taillights! They should have redesigned the complete rear door too to avoid that hideous disproportionate taillights design. I don’t know about Malaysia, but from where I come from, Mitsubishi MonteroSports are eating up the fortuner’s market share since it debuted more than two years ago. no new engine? We deserve better! Thanks Paul for the great photo. Cheers
Testing the Toyota Fortuner 2011 against Nissan Patrol Safari 2005. It shows that the fuel ussage on the Patrol was more efficien. although the Patrol use 4800cc with the speed of +200kmh and Fortuner 160kmh maks
