The 2021 Toyota Fortuner has started
reaching showrooms in Thailand, which is its first market. Here are the first
live images of the new Toyota Fortuner facelift, showing its exterior and
interior in detail.
Edgier LED projector headlamps and front bumper, larger
radiator grille, more compact lower grille, wider front fog lamp housing,
silver skid plate and additional LED DRLs that double as turn indicators are
the changes in the regular Toyota Fortuner at the front. On the sides, it
features new 18-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the new mid-size SUV has
revised LED tail lights. Inside, there’s a new Optitron instrument cluster.
The regular 2021 Toyota Fortuner is
available with only the 2GD-FTV 2.4-litre diesel engine. Carried over from the
old model, it still produces 150 PS of maximum power at 3,400 rpm and 400 Nm of
maximum torque at 1,600-2,000 rpm. Without disclosing how Toyota says that it
has enhanced this engine. It is available with only a 6-speed automatic
transmission. A 4WD system is optionally available.
More features and the significantly
enhanced 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV diesel engine are available in Toyota Fortuner
Legender, which we have covered in a separate report. The Legender variant of
the facelifted Fortuner is equivalent of the pre-facelift model’s TRD Sportivo
variant.
The prices of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner in
Thailand start at 1,319,000 BHT.
