TOYOTA FORTUNER FROM $42,590

Think of Toyota’s Fortuner as a seven-seater HiLux wagon and you’re on the money.

All models run the 130kW 2.8-litre turbodiesel used in SR HiLux models, matched to six-speed manual and automatic transmissions and a part-time, dual-range 4x4 drivetrain with a standard locking rear diff.

So it’s a serious bushcapable Toyota 4x4 straight out of the box, just like the Prado and LandCruiser.
