Toyota is about to usher in the facelifted Fortuner on Epiphany . It looks like the facelifted model are going to be available in two broad trims: standard and therefore the more premium Legender, as seen on the Thai-spec model. before its possible January launch, the Legender has been spotted testing during a TVC shoot.
The Toyota Fortuner Legender will get several styling upgrades for a refreshed look. Its nose is entirely new with a smaller mesh grille, more aggressive bumpers, a bigger air intake, revised fog lamp house , bi-LED projector headlamps, and alittle skid plate. The front profile seems sharper and sportier than the facelifted model.
The Legender also gets a replacement alloy wheel design. Further, it sports a dual-tone colour theme, sequential LED turn indicators, a replacement rear bumper, and blacked-out ORVMs. This variant misses out on chrome detailing and instead, goes with the sportier glossy black treatment.
Inside the cabin, it’s expected to urge an all-black theme with leather seats. New features expected onboard include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, 360-degree camera, and a powered tailgate with the sweep-to-open feature.
The Legender is probably going to urge the uprated 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine which will now produce 204PS and 500Nm (27PS and up to 80Nm quite before). Its 2.7-litre petrol engine should be retained with an equivalent power figures. The transmission options should also remain an equivalent as earlier. The petrol engine comes with a 5-speed MT as standard and therefore the diesel with a 6-speed MT. Both of them also get a 6-speed AT as an option.
Expect the Toyota Fortuner Legender to demand a premium over the regular facelifted variants, which might be costlier than the pre-facelift model. The outgoing pre-facelift model retails from Rs 28.66 lakh to Rs 34.43 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi). Many dealerships have already started accepting bookings for the facelifted Fortuner for a token amount of Rs 50,000. it’ll still rival the likes of the Ford Endeavour and MG Gloster.
