Toyota Fortuner Exterior

The muscled appeal remains, albeit with a lot of sleek and angular design cues. There are dollops of chrome all over – something Indian buyers crave for. With the 2021 Toyota Fortuner new model, you'll find sleek redesigned headlamps at the front and rear that look like slashes caused by a razor blade. The wheel arches are nicely flared, and the Toyota Fortuner new model sits on 18-inch wheels that do add to the stance. Thanks to its whopping dimensions, the SUV has terrific road presence as well.

Toyota Fortuner Variants

The Toyota Fortuner variants for the petrol models are as follows: 2.7 4x2 (MT) and 2.7 4x2 (AT), while the diesel variants are: 2.8 4x2 (MT), 2.8 4x2 (AT), 2.8 4x4 (MT), 2.8 4x4 (AT) and Legender 2.8 4x2 (AT).

In terms of safety, the Fortuner gets Hill-start assist control, hill descent control, Active traction control for four-wheel-drive modes, 7 airbags and ABS with EBD.

Toyota Fortuner Interior

The cabin sees minor revisions in comparison to the pre-facelift model. As before, much of the cabin is draped in leather, and the quality of plastic materials used is decent. The seats offer ample thigh support, while occupants will be happy with the amount of legroom and headroom on offer. The second-generation Fortuner was always a longer and wider car, the result of which is overall decent cabin comfort – which seems on par for the Toyota Fortuner on-road price, to be frank. All-round visibility is good too, while the third-row seats can be folded up, allowing for more luggage space.
