Toyota first introduced the new-generation Fortuner in 2015, which is now 7 years old in India. The company has introduced the upgraded Fortuner with subtle changes in terms of features. This update comes as a buffer before Toyota brings the next-generation model. The 2017 Toyota Fortuner comes with a new interior scheme and feature upgrades. The Fortuner is fitted with a prominent grille, massive bumper, and fog lamps. The vehicle gets sweptback headlamps with LED daytime running lights. It features a large bumper with reflectors, black air dams and chrome finished fog lamps, the side profile gets squared wheel arches, black cladding, and chrome treatment around window lines. The flared wheel arches have been fitted to 17-inch or 18-inch wheel shod with all-terrain tires. At the back, the SUV gets a chic styling with LED tail-lights, a new bumper with integrated reflectors, a roof-mounted spoiler, etc.

The 4-cylinder, an in-line turbocharged diesel engine is capable of producing 174.5bhp of power at 3,400rpm and 450Nm of torque between 1,600 to 2,400rpm. Transmission options include a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic unit. Since the Fortuner hasn’t received many changes in terms of power and efficiency of engines, the mileage numbers remain the same, the automatic model is claimed to return 12.9kmpl.  Some other new features are the touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. It also packs an electric tailgate release as well as driver and passenger electric seat controls.
