The HiLux SUV - aka Fortuner - is dead. Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1
This off-road focused 7 seater diesel 4x4 has been feeling its age for, well, ages, and now Toyota has cancelled it, with stock scheduled to run out in 2026.
But for those who want the best-known brand's budget 4WD SUV, this could still represent a great buy.
With its known diesel engine, serious off-road chops, and lower-than-some-rivals pricing, it's not as bad as you'd think.
But these alternatives might be better!

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
