The recently unveiled Toyota 4Runner in the US offers a glimpse into the styling direction of the upcoming Fortuner. Both models are expected to share design cues and potentially powertrains, signifying a closer alignment between Toyota's SUV offerings.
The Toyota 4Runner SUV will not be sold in South Africa, but its new model likely provided a big hint on how the next Toyota Fortuner will look. This year the new 4Runner was launched in the United States, following the new Tacoma bakkie which was introduced in 2023. It was reported three years ago that a product alignment strategy will see the new Toyota Hilux and Tacoma styled closer to each other for the first time in almost three decades. And the same goes for the Fortuner and 4Runner .

It produces 207kW of power and 512Nm of torque as standard and 244kW/630Nm in hybrid guise.These powertrains are also offered in the new Prado in other markets. But Mzansi launched the new Prado with the same 150kW/500Nm 2.8-litre GD-6 turbodiesel mill as before.that is already on offer in both the current Fortuner and Hilux. The mild-hybrid assistance brings and 12kW of power and 65Nm of torque to the table. Before the new Toyota Fortuner arrives the current model will have a final hurrah in the form of a GR-Sport (GR-S) model next year. It is expected that the GR-S will feature similar outputs than that of the Hilux GR-S, which is 165kW/550Nm
