In a recent piece of information, the brochure of the upcoming Toyota Fortuner facelift TRD Sportivo has been leaked. The upcoming SUV which has been doing the rounds of the internet several times is supposed to be launched soon during the festive season.
Toyota Fortuner has been a remarkable and the most selling SUV in its segment for over a decade and with its mid-cycle facelift of the current generation, the SUV not only gets tweaked visual appeals but also updated features.
From the leaked facelift brochure of the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo, we can see it gains several features. To name a few, like wireless charging, a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also gets 360-degree camera so parking in tight spaces really makes it a handy process and detects the blind spots.

To make things more interesting, it will now receive powered tailgate with kick sensor. This feature is old but is quite handy when you have your hands full of shopping bags or luggage and you just cannot take the keys out from your pocket. So a wave under the rear bumper and voila, the boot will be opened.
Visually, the Fortuner now gets more drama than before. With this facelift, it now gets aggressive front and rear bumper design, a restyle grille and notice the chrome details around the fog light housing. You get black ORVMs, TRD sticker at the side profile and a new dual-tone alloy wheel design which aesthetically improved the Fortuner's image.
Mechanically, things will remain unchanged for the Fortuner. It will continue to get a 2.7L petrol and 2.8L turbocharged diesel unit. The latter is popular in demand and brings up more sales than petrol. The oil burner produces 174 bhp with 420 Nm of peak torque. The engine gets mated to a 6-speed manual as standard and an optional 6-speed AT gearbox.

We can expect this facelift to launch from anywhere after the festive season to early 2021. Ford also launched the Sport Edition of the Endeavour and to stay ahead in the competition, Toyota might launch this facelift of Fortuner soon. We expect that it will be based on the diesel 4x4 variant and will cost close to Rs 36 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.
