Toyota Motor Thailand launched the new Fortuner TRD
Sportivo with minor cosmetic changes last week. The updated model costs
1,652,000 Baht onwards. The new Toyota Fortuner TRD
Sportivo differs from the old model with a few styling tweaks and changes to
the colour-coding.
At the front it has new fog lamps and a matte-finish skirt.
On the sides, the TRD-branded 20-inch alloy wheels come in a dual-tone finish
instead of all-black finish. At the rear, the bumper has individual brushed
metal inserts on each side, something customers going for an aftermarket dual
exhaust system would appreciate.
Two exterior colour schemes are available to select
from, namely Pearl White with Pearl Crystal Black roof and Attitude Black Mica. Key comfort and convenience
features of the new Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo include 8-way adjustable
leather seats, 7-inch T-Connect infotainment system with navigation, engine
start-stop button (in red colour and with TRD branding), rear-view camera and a
power tailgate.
The new Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo measures 4,795
mm in length, 1,855 mm in width and 1,835 mm in height. It has a ground
clearance of 193 mm. These dimensions are the same as that of the standard
variant. However, it benefits from TRD Sportivo shock absorbers.
Under the hood, the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo has
the 1GD-FTV (High) 2.8-litre diesel engine, which is married to a 6-speed
automatic transmission. This turbocharged four-cylinder engine develops 177 PS
at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm of torque at 1,600-2,400 rpm. A four-wheel drive system
is optional.
