2023 is almost over, and next year, 2024 promises big launches, and one of those awaited big launches is the Next Generation Toyota Fortuner. Toyota had confirmed the popular SUV of India will be getting the new-gen update, and confirmed that the powertrain they’ll be using is the diesel paired with 48V mid-hybrid tech to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency.
The next-gen Toyota Fortuner will undergo big exterior changes like it’ll get new front face which looks a semi-hexagon shape grille with three horizontal slats and new sharper looking tri-cube LED headlights with thinner and sleeker looking LED DRLs with in the headlamp unit. The side profile will most likely look the same except it’ll sport new set of alloy wheels. Moving to the rear, it’s likely the new Fortuner will get connected LED taillamps and new bumper design both the front and the rear.
Moving to the interiors, it’s possible it will get slight change in dashboard design to accomodate a bigger free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment system and below it will the slimmer AC vents. There will be a new fully digital instrument cluster which Toyota could borrow from the Innova HyCross, and in from the cluster will be the new 4-spoke steering wheel. Moreover, the 2nd-row could get the Ottoman Seats which was seen in the HyCross as many of its rivals in the segment offer Captain Seats, and Toyota could follow the same footstep with the Fortuner.
