The upcoming Toyota Fortuner facelift has been spotted testing globally. It may get ADAS, a new grille, updated lighting, and Hilux-inspired interior.
The next-generation Toyota Fortuner has been spied testing on international roads, revealing key design and feature updates. While earlier spy shots showed only the rear, new images now give a glimpse of the updated front end — and there’s a major highlight that could boost its appeal.
New front and rear design
The heavily camouflaged test mule shows a completely refreshed front fascia. Expected changes include:
-
New grille with polygonal slats
-
Sleeker LED headlights and DRLs
-
Revised bumper design
-
Updated rear styling (seen earlier)
The overall silhouette remains familiar, but the sharper styling aims to keep the Fortuner competitive in the premium SUV space.
ADAS likely to be the game changer
The biggest talking point is the visible ADAS module at the front. If confirmed, the Fortuner could finally get Level 2 ADAS, a feature buyers have been demanding for years.
Despite its premium pricing, the Fortuner continues to enjoy strong demand due to its rugged reputation and reliability. The addition of ADAS could further strengthen its position against rivals like the MG Majestor.
Interior may borrow from Hilux
Although the cabin wasn’t clearly visible, reports suggest the interior could take inspiration from the Toyota Hilux. Expected updates include:
-
Revised dashboard layout
-
Larger infotainment screen
-
Improved materials and finish
-
Updated digital cluster
Engine and mechanical details
Mechanically, the new Fortuner is expected to remain unchanged, continuing with the existing engine lineup:
-
2.7L petrol 2WD: 164 bhp / 245 Nm
-
2.8L diesel 2WD:
-
MT: 201 bhp / 420 Nm
-
AT: 201 bhp / 500 Nm
-
-
2.8L diesel AWD: Same output as diesel 2WD
However, the new-generation model is likely to offer slightly improved ride comfort and tuning.
With fresh styling, potential ADAS, and its proven mechanical package, the upcoming Fortuner update could further cement its dominance in the premium SUV segment.
