The exterior of the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo 2
would be much bolder than that of the regular version. Up front, it is likely
to feature a redesigned bumper with revised fog lamp housings and an updated

Sportivo design alloy wheels shod with 265/50-spec tires, black-coloured ORVMs,
and black-coloured A-pillar. At the rear, it will likely sport a TRD Sportivo
badge and a black metallic muffler cutter.
On the inside, the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo 2
should feature a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation support, a

console with TRD Sportivo logo, leather-wrapped steering wheel, TRD Sportivo
logo on the dashboard, upgraded trim and seat upholstery, brushed aluminium
finish near the gear lever, and floor carpets with TRD Sportivo logo.

2,755 cc turbocharged diesel engine that outputs a maximum power of 177 hp at
3,400 rpm along with a peak torque of 450 Nm between 1,400-2,600 rpm. It will
come mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new variant will be
