| Toyota Fortuner (facelift) renderings |
The second-generation Toyota Fortuner made its debut in 2015,
and it is widely awaited for Toyota to bring any updates to the SUV. Finally, Toyota has revealed a new facelift version of the Fortuner in Thailand and is expected to make its appearance in India as well. The 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift has a new styling, updated interior and features and an updated infotainment system as well as a more powerful engine. The top of the line model in Thailand, at least, differentiates itself with completely different styling and a new name called "Toyota Legander". Whether Toyota will follow the same philosophy for the Indian market is anyone's guess at the moment, but we'll only know when the new Fortuner will arrive in India.
The front gets a redesigned grille which is longer and has a new mesh, which allows more chrome in India. The new Toyota Fortuner features new-size LED headlamps with LED DRLS, a revised front bumper and sits on new 18-inch alloy wheels. The rear is largely similar to the old model, but it has a new and slimmer look with LEDs.
The fully designated "Legander"
model is designed to look sportier as it features a new mesh pattern split-grille design that we are familiar with from other modern Toyota models. The front bumpers are also new and give a sharp look. Lighting devices include a new dual-LED projector headlamp with a different LED DRL pattern than the standard. The chrome parts from the regular model are finished in gloss black, it is equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels, dual-tone paint and a similar philosophy is followed in the rear of the car.
Although the interior is largely the same,
it gets updated features and technology as it offers a larger 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that now comes with Apple CarPlay. The instrument cluster has been updated to be able to provide more information, it has wireless smartphone charging, ambient lighting and 360 degree camera.
Instead, the Legander model offers more features like a 9-inch touchscreen
infotainment system, white accent trim panel, 7 airbags and more safety features, including a collision prevention system, lane departure warning and radar-guided dynamic cruise control and a part Are included in the form. "Toyota Safety Sense" Package.
While there are some petrol and diesel engine options for Fortuner in international markets,
the most popular diesel for India. The 2.8-liter inline-4 turbo motor is now geared to develop 204hp and 500Nm torque. The same engine in its current form in India develops compared to 177hp which is a significant leap forward. We expect Toyota to continue offering the 2.7-liter petrol motor with Fortuner already in India. Transmission options are likely to be manual 6-speed in addition to the 6-speed automatic for the Indian market.
Toyota Fortuner is considered as the benchmark for SUVs
not only in its segment but also for all SUVs in India. The current model is still king in terms of popularity which rivals it against more feature-packed SUVs such as the Ford Endeavor, or the Mahindra Alturas. Fortuner in India currently prices Rs. 28.6 lakhs to 34 rupees, .4 Lake (ex-showroom) in its BS6 variant. While Toyota has not yet confirmed the arrival of the new Fortuner facelift in India, nor has it given any word about the new "legender" variant, but we expect Toyota to launch new ones in India sometime in 2020 Fortuner will introduce the facelift.
