While we know Toyota’s Full-Size SUV, Fortuner is set to receive new generation update which will get all the missing features that it should have already had given the size and price of it. Well, nevertheless, it’s was about the time it got one update. Anyway, let’s compare the newer version SUV against the older SUV and see how changes we can expect!
Toyota Fortuner Old vs New: Design
The next-gen Toyota Fortuner will undergo big exterior changes over the current version that’s on sale like it’ll get new front face not like the one the Legender or standard Fortuner, but its expected to sport a semi-hexagon shape grille with horizontal slats on it and new sharper looking tri-cube LED headlights with thinner and sleeker looking dual LED DRLs aligned with the headlamp unit.
The side profile will most likely look the retain the same shape as before, but it may sport new set of alloy wheels which could be of size between 19 and 20-inches since the current version has only 18-inch wheels while rivals are closing to 19 and 20-inches. Moving to the rear, it’s likely the current Fortuner has wing-like tail-lamps, however, with the new version, we could see Toyota slightly tweaked the design of tail-lamps and add a light bar to give it a connected look.
Moreover, bumpers both the front and the rear will be revised over the current versions. From the inside, while it’s available in 7-Seater form only, we may get the Captain Seats in the new version, possibly the Ottoman Seats from the HyCross. Moreover, the cabin could take design elements from the HyCross itself to make it more premium and luxurious than the current outdated cabin.
