Hilux, Fortuner, and Innova also received updates in September, with the Hilux GR Sport receiving a power boost to 224PS and 550Nm of torque. Customers will benefit from having Tailboard Assist as a standard feature on the Hilux GR Sport, Rogue, and 2.4V models. Additionally, all versions of the Hilux, Fortuner, and Innova now come standard with RFID tags, ensuring a smooth ownership experience.

Toyota has maintained and strengthened its commitment to meet diverse customer needs by providing car models with features that strike a chord strongly with our Malaysian customers, according to Datuk Ravindran K, president of UMW Toyota Motor.
In this, we are expanding our portfolio with vehicles that enrich the driving experience in every way – exemplified by the newly-launched Corolla GR Sport and 2023 Corolla IMP models, as well as feature updates for our Hilux, Fortuner and Innova range. In addition, we are maintaining our programmes that make owning a Toyota more accessible and convenient than ever,” said Datuk Ravindran. -full_normal.jpg)
