External Features of New Toyota Fortuner
As can be seen above, the all new Fortuner does not look all that handsome and some may still call it sleek but actually this new avatar seems to have diluted the aura and personality which Fortuner is known for. The raised stance does make it look as an SUV but apart from that there is nothing worth noting in the external design.
New Chrome Grill gets additional 2 chromes stripes on the sides. Looks too loud and bling.
The front fog lamps are normal ones with Yellow light and the added chrome surround is just adding to bling factor. The design of the fog lamp console looks odd.
The front air dam has 4 slates and is absolutely Black without any chrome. Looks more like the one in Crysta. The only simple looking feature in front profile.
Black Color Plastic Cladding provided on exteriors of wheel arcs. The fitting and plastic quality is of good quality. The cladding unlike the full-fledged ones in the old one are much smaller and
not in body color which makes way for a cost cutting move.
Good Quality of Plastic Mud Flaps are used. They are properly bolted and well fixed.
Black Color Side foot steps are broad enough and sturdy as well. It is a much needed feature in any SUV. Helps a lot in egress and ingress for the elderly.
ORVMs are electrically adjustable and retractable and look neat in body color. Get turn markers integrated in them with good viewing space too. For added visibility during night time drives, additional lamps are provided under the ORVMs.
Chrome door handles on the outside are equipped with smart key sensors too. The quality of handles is not flimsy at all. Instead of chrome they could look quite good with body color in my view.
The side pillars are Black in color. In dark colors this Black finish on the pillar looks quite good but not that appealing in the light shade body colors.
The chrome stripe running from the front door on both sides all the way under the rear windshield tries to make the side profile look more elegant but with overload of chrome at every possible place on the body this stripe too doesn't help much.
