A RUGGED HiLux-based SUV aimed mainly at Asia and South Africa will get a distinctly Aussie face, thanks to designers at Melbourne-based Toyota Style Australia (TSA).

The facelifted Fortuner that is set to roll off the Toyota Thailand production line in the next two weeks was the responsibility of TSA manager Paul Beranger and his team who are also working on other Toyota products for the Asia-Pacific region.

The task was small compared with the global ground-up projects being masterminded by rivals GM Holden and Ford Australia, but Mr Beranger told GoAuto that TSA was seeking to grow its business in the region.

The Fortuner – launched in 2005 – is one of four IMV (HiLux) variants, with the others being the single-cab, extended-cab and dual-cab HiLux ute models that are also made in Thailand.

Apart from Thailand, the 4×4 and 4×2 wagon is sold in India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Middle East, South Africa and Central and South America. In Indonesia, it is badged Kijang Innova.

Although it is similar in concept to the Triton-based Mitsubishi Challenger and Navara-based Nissan Pathfinder, there are no plans to bring it to Australia, where Toyota is happy with its Japanese-built Kluger and Prado wagons.
