Japanese automaker Toyota has finally launched its updated Fortuner mid-size SUV in Thailand. In 2021MY format, the new Toyota Fortuner facelift gets a ‘Legender’ tag to stand apart from its previous version, sold alongside in the Thai market. It comes in four diesel variants: 2.4 2WD, 2.4 4WD, 2.8 2WD and 2.8 4WD. Each variant is mated to a 6-speed TC automatic transmission (with paddles) and there is no manual option. Prices start at 1,577,000 Thai Baht or roughly Rs 37.68 lakh ex-showroom.
Toyota’s new Fortuner Legender is available in only three colour choices: White Pearl / Black, Emotional Red / Black and Attitude Black. Compared to its predecessor (or the current Indian counterpart), the Toyota Fortuner Legender sports a sharper front-end and bigger 20-inch 5-spoke wheels. Full-LED lighting with sequential turn signals is another welcome addition. Being a facelift, the side profile or silhouette remains mostly identical.
In terms of safety, equipment on top trims includes 7 airbags, traction control, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, etc. Some of these features will be limited to just the automatic format. The Indian market could get the facelifted Toyota Fortuner in a 6-speed manual version as well.
