Toyota South Africa Motors has upgraded its Hilux SRX models, while also adding some bling to certain of its Fortuner derivatives.

The local arm of the Japanese automaker says it based these latest changes on customer feedback.

The most significant change to Hilux SRX models is a switch from a narrow-body design to a wide-body construction. This means SRX variants now feature the integrated over-fenders already used on Raider models, as well as a wider, front bumper design.

The update adds some 55 mm to the width of the SRX single- and double-cab derivatives (xtra-cab models, of course, already featured the wide-body construction). The side-mirrors, meanwhile, gains integrated indicators.

SRX models also ditch their steel wheels for wider-track 17-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 265/65/R17 all-terrain rubber, as used on Raider variants.

Meanwhile, the Fortuner has also come in for some changes. All 2,8 GD-6 and 4,0 V6 Fortuner models are now equipped with fresh 18-inch alloy wheels (replacing 17-inch versions), shod with 265/60/R18 rubber.

Furthermore, 2,7 VVTi and 2,4 GD-6 Fortuner derivatives now boast leather interior trim.
