Big, macho and reliable, the Fortuner has been a runaway success right
from day one. Cosmetic updates coming soon will ensure the Fortuner
maintains this popularity. Going by changes to the Thai model, the SUV’s
chrome front grille will grow in width and the headlights will be new
too. A restyled front bumper and larger air-intake scoop on the bonnet
add to the new Fortuner’s mini-Land Cruiser looks. Clear-lens tail-lamps
will be the only changes to the Fortuner’s rear while the interiors
will receive darker faux wood detailing. The trusty 3-litre D-4D diesel
will continue but there is a possibility of an automatic transmission
being added to the Fortuner line-up. We’ll know soon enough as the
updated Fortuner will be launched at the Auto Expo in January 2012.
