While the first-generation Fortuner was developed in Thailand by Thai and Japanese engineers, its facelifted version, as well as the Hilux and Innova, was designed in Australia by Toyota Australia, which is also responsible for developing the second-generation model. Since 2010, its always been way ahead of its competitors but now it lacks many features and its time it should get a makeover. It should definitely be equipped with more features like rain sensing wipers, hill assist, telescopic steering wheel, etc. Initially it was launched at about 21 lacs and now after 5 years the cost has gone to up to 30 lacs with no such big changes in the SUV. The rising prices of the fortuner can be a issue. The large turning radius of this SUV makes it extremely difficult while taking u-turns. The same old climate control buttons look a bit old now and needs a change. The glove compartment is really small and needs attention by the manufacturers. Like it is said, you can have a Fortuner in any colour as long as its White.

The D-4D 3.0 litre engine has been the best from Toyota which gives about 171 Bhp of power and 343 Nm of torque. Power is delivered right from the 1400 RPM mark up to the 3400 RPM mark.

The Fortuner renews its rivalry with the likes of the updated Ford Endeavour, relatively new MG Gloster and the Mahindra Alturas G4.

The petrol engine, which develops 164bhp / 245Nm can be had with both manual and automatic transmission but is only available with 4x2 drivetrain.

The Legender variant gets a 360-degree camera, wireless charging, radar-guided cruise control, lane departure warning and a steering wheel orientation warning.

There are new dual-tone upholsteries, the instrument cluster gets new graphics and the touchscreen infotainment system has a better display and better connectivity – including smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Inside, the Fortuner facelift has not received the radical changes as it has on the outside. Changes at the rear are much less noticeable, the biggest one being the new LED elements in the taillights which now mimic those on the Camry sedan. The side design has not changed from the pre-facelift version, with the two variants differentiated by the larger 18-inch wheels. The Legender variant has a completely different fascia with a much slimmer grille, all-LED headlamps, larger lower air dam and unique dual-tone paint schemes.

Changes include a new stylish ‘Legender’ variant, a complete exterior design overhaul, new features and a performance bump for the AT variants.įor the standard variant, the fascia has received an evolutionary change with changes including new LED projector headlamps, a redesigned grille which loses its three chrome slat design and a completely new bumper with a more prominent front bash plate, larger faux side-intakes and repositioned LED indicator strip. The facelifted version of the second-generation Toyota Fortuner has made its way to the Indian market almost half a year after it was made its international debut in Thailand.
