Matt Campbell

2025 Toyota Fortuner GXL review

This rugged Toyota HiLux-based off-road SUV has seven seats and a strong diesel engine, but it’s really feeling its age in 2025.

Pros

Strong turbo-diesel engine
Great reputation for reliability
Terrific off-road

Cons

Lacking safety gear in lower grades
Feels ancient inside
Annoying third-row packaging
