Verdict
At RM195,880, the Toyota Fortuner 2.4 AT 4x4 is RM7,000 cheaper than the RM202,880 Toyota Fortuner 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4, yet its diesel delivers a substantial 400 Nm from 1,600 rpm against 245 Nm at 4,000 rpm. That is the stronger case for buyers who value low-rev pull and lower RM754 annual road tax. The SRZ counters with 164 hp, LED projectors, 18-inch wheels, automatic climate control and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity. Pay the extra if those daily-use upgrades matter more than torque and running costs.
Pick the Toyota Fortuner 2.4 AT 4x4 if 400 Nm at 1,600 rpm and RM754 annual road tax matter more than the SRZ’s convenience equipment.
Pick the Toyota Fortuner 2.7 SRZ AT 4x4 if you want 164 hp, LED headlamps, automatic climate control and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for RM7,000 more.
