You’ve basically got four new options from Toyota in South Africa: the Toyota Rumion, Fortuner, Land Cruiser Prado and Land Cruiser 300. They all seat seven, but they live in completely different price worlds, so it helps to be clear on what you need before you start shopping.
Please note: All pricing is accurate at the time of publication (January 2026).
Toyota Rumion: the 'budget' 7‑seater, from R307 900
For a deeper dive into spec levels, practicality and what it is like to live with, find our Rumion explainer here, with available colours here.
If your budget is tight and you mostly want a people‑mover that is cheap to run and easy to drive, this is usually the Toyota 7‑seater that makes the most sense.
If you don't mind buying an older car, the Avanza is also worth a test drive. Check out used models here.

Toyota Fortuner: the 'proper SUV' seven‑seater, from R685 900
The Fortuner is the one you buy if you want a tough, bakkie‑based SUV with low‑range, ground clearance and that “big Toyota” feel.
You are looking at R685k just to get into a new 2.4 GD‑6 Fortuner, and then running up towards the upper–R900k–over–R1–million mark for high‑spec 2.8 GD‑6 48V VX and GR‑Sport models.
If you want more than just numbers and you’d like to know how the latest Fortuner actually drives and what you get for the money, there are detailed expert reviews you can read, including this 2.8 GD‑6 4x4 VX test, and a newer Fortuner GR‑Sport review here.
In simple terms, if you want to tow, head off‑road or keep the car for a decade as a family adventure machine, the higher price of a Fortuner is what you need to budget for.

Our website's used listings offer plenty in terms of demo, nearly-new, and low-mileage cars, or, if you want to spend as little as possible, well-maintained, higher-mileage models that will flourish with a bit of TLC.
Low-mileage demos and ex-fleet Rumions often dip below R300,000 with full warranty; Fortuners bring rugged 4x4 capability into the R400k-R700k range via popular older models; Prados offer refined off-road prowess from R800k on well-kept examples; while rare LC300 pre-owned units shave 10-20% off new tags.
