UMW Toyota Motor has announced upgrades and
enhancements for the IMV trio – the Toyota Fortuner SUV, Innova MPV and Hilux
pick-up truck. The Hilux, Fortuner and Innova get a new colour option, Phantom
Brown, taking exterior colour choices to six for the SUV and seven for the MPV.
More importantly, the Fortuner now gets Vehicle Stability Control, Brake
Assist, Hill-start Assist Control and Active Traction Control (A-TRC) standard
on all four variants.
A-TRC provides more effective traction control in
slippery conditions, and is helpful off-road when one encounters muddy terrain.
The system detects wheel spin and distributes torque between front and rear
wheels, braking the spinning wheel and sending drive to corners with more
traction.
Available equipment on the Fortuner and Innova
include keyless entry and push start, LED headlamps and eight-way power adjustment
for the driver’s seat. The touchscreen infotainment systems include
connectivity to compatible smartphones and the Internet while on the move. The
Fortuner can also be had with a powered tailgate and cruise control.
No changes for the Hilux other than the new colour
option and the discontinuation of the 2.8G variant. Those looking for a
high-spec Hilux 2.8L can now go straight to the L-Edition that was introduced
earlier this year.
The Fortuner is priced from RM 170,500 to RM 195,600,
while the Innova goes for RM 107,280 to RM 132,400. The Hilux now comes in five
double-cab variants from RM 100,000 to RM 138,000. All prices are OTR inclusive
of SST, without insurance.
