Toyota launched two styling packages in the Fortuner in April – the Fortuner Epic and Fortuner Epic Black, both with the company’s 2.8 litre GD-6 turbodiesel engine.
The package includes a branded nudge-bar and tow bar. The Epic Black models feature a bi-tone design with black roof, black roof rails, black side-view mirrors and unique, all-black 18-inch alloy wheels.
These high-contrast elements are exclusively combined with Glacier White paintwork on the Epic Black. Epic variants can be had in Glacier White, Chromium Silver, Graphite Grey and Avant-Garde Bronze.
Inside you receive metal scuff plates and an Epic-branded carpet set. The usual Fortuner luxuries apply here, such as the leather interior and soft-touch dashboard trim. The interior layout remains as per current, with elevated 2nd and fold-up 3rd row seating.
The announcement coincides with the removal of all manual versions of the Fortuner and also the discontinuation of the 4.0 V6 petrol model. The 2.7 VVT-I and 2.4 GD-6 models continue unchanged.

We reported on the auction of a one-of-a-kind Audi RS6 Avant GT in November last year with part of proceeds going the Kutlwanong Centre for Maths, Science and Technology. Audi South Africa celebrated the official handover of a R500 000 donation to the Centre following the successful auction of the exclusive vehicle.
Last year, Volvo Car South Africa revealed impressive sales figures for its electric vehicle (EV) line-up. But how did it all start?
In a true spirit of celebration and support, Toyota fans and members of Toyota, Lexus and the Hino dealer network will gather at the OR Tambo International Airport tomorrow (Wednesday, 22 January) to welcome back the 2025 Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Dakar Rally Team.
