The Toyota Fortuner facelift is designed to offer a luxurious and bold driving experience that is not only refined but also looks aggressive and edgier. This latest model will be available in a range of variants with subtle interior refinements, and it will feature a host of advanced features that will ensure that it stands out from the crowd.
The Fortuner features a mesh-type upper grille, exclusive skid plate, LED fog lamps, gloss black roof and A-pillars, gloss black outside mirrors, black roof spoiler, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The exterior of the car looks luxurious and bold, with an edgy design that is eye catching and looks best off road (in its natural habitat). The exclusive skid plate adds to the aggressive look of the vehicle.
The interior of the Fortuner is just as impressive as its exterior. The new model comes with leather seats that feature a new dual-tone color palette, ambience illumination. It is spacious and can seat up to seven passengers. All the 2.8 variants further benefit from the addition of USB points for rear passengers, and an 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system. The onboard satellite navigation function was deleted due to the preferred usage of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, which is a standard feature.
The Fortuner has been designed with safety in mind. It features a Lane Keeping System with Land Departure Alert (LDA), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), Adaptive Cruise Control, and a brake-synchronised Pre-Crash System. These features are part of the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance technologies that ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.
The Toyota Fortuner is offered with the choice of two engines. The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine pushing 150kW/ 500Nm, is mated exclusively with the six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4 GD-6 produces a healthy 110 kW / 400 Nm and is available in both 6-speed manual and 6-speed auto transmission configurations. It has a fuel consumption of 6.8 l/100 km, depending on the variant and transmission type selected.
All Fortuner models are covered by the three-year/100 000 km warranty and a 9-services/90 000 km service plan.
