New Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo revealed

The SUV is a sportier variant of the new-gen Fortuner; receives mechanical and cosmetic changes to set it apart.



In 2015, Toyota not only revealed a new larger and more premium Innova but also showcased a new generation of its SUV, the Fortuner. Though yet to arrive in India, the SUV is already on sale in international markets and now seems ready to get a sportier avatar as well.

As per the images of the brochure, the Sportivo gets sporty, black-finished 20-inch alloy wheels and new aggressive-looking bumpers. The car also seems to be available with a choice of a dual-tone black and white, and a single-tone black paint scheme. The SUV also features TRD badging on the door sills and the tailgate, along with a new chrome-finished exhaust muffler.

Inside, the Fortuner TRD Sportivo gets dual-tone black and red upholstery to go with its new appearance, along with a revised instrument cluster. Also included is 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, TRD-badged floor mats and a red-finished push-start button.

The Fortuner TRD Sportivo also gets mechanical tweaks to go with its sportier credentials. The SUV is equipped with a revised suspension and brakes. The engine on offer is the 175bhp 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV, as on the standard Fortuner.

The Fortuner SUV is said to head to India sometime next year, and we can expect the TRD Sportivo variant to arrive sometime after the launch.
