What Happened
Spy shots of the next-generation Toyota Fortuner have emerged, showcasing a heavily camouflaged test unit undergoing trials in Thailand. This follows the recent unveiling of the new Hilux, with which the Fortuner shares many design elements.
Why It Matters
The current-generation Fortuner has been in the market for nearly a decade, making this upcoming model significant for Toyota’s lineup. The new Fortuner is expected to adopt a similar exterior design to the Hilux, featuring tapered headlamp clusters and a honeycomb front grille, while retaining the IMV 0 platform and the 2.8 GD-6 turbodiesel engine.
What’s Next
The next-generation Fortuner is anticipated to make its global debut later this year. As Toyota prepares for this launch, details regarding its interior and technology features, such as dual 12.3-inch displays and a surround-view camera system, are expected to align closely with those of the new Hilux.
