Early Christmas for Toyota Fortuner Buyers
Toyota has embarked on an early Christmas for buyers of its seven-seat Fortuner range by adding features while cutting prices by a minimum of $5,000*. The emphatic price realignment comes as Toyota ramps up the style and convenience of Fortuner while maintaining its impressive off-road performance. Prices for the range now start at $42,590* - a reduction of $5,400 or 11.25 per cent - and all but the top-of-the-line Crusade are now priced below $50,000. The most-affordable GX variants have been improved with smart-looking 17-inch alloy wheels (replacing same-size steel wheels) and gain the convenience of rear parking sensors. Mid-range GXL is now equipped with satellite navigation#, Toyota Link## connected mobility and digital radio+ - all operated via a seven-inch display audio screen. Despite the new features, GXL prices have been reduced by $5,500 or more than 10 per cent. For added luxury, buyers of automatic GXL can opt for a dark brown leather-accented interior, which includes power-operated driver and frontpassenger seats. At the top of the range, the Crusade is now fitted with a premium 11-speaker JBL audio system, heated and eight-way power-adjustable driver and front-passenger seats and LED instead of halogen fog lamps. Pricing for Crusade - now available exclusively with an automatic transmission - is down by $5,000. Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing said Fortuner’s enhanced equipment levels would meet the expectations of people seeking a rugged off-roader with the comfort and style of an SUV. “Fortuner’s updates are based on specific feedback from our dealers and our guests, reflecting Toyota’s commitment to continuous improvement,” Mr Cramb said.
