The 7-seat SUV is based on a new ladder frame platform.The 7-seat SUV adopts a completely new design, a more premium interior with additional equipment and lays additional focus on safety. The 2016 Fortuner is packed with 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, Vehicle Stability Assist, Hill Hold and Hill Descent Control, Trailer Sway Control, alloy wheels, foglights, projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights, electric tailgate, electrically adjustable driver seat, a comprehensive touchscreen infotainment system, smart remote key with push button start/stop, and so on.
For India, the 2016 Toyota Fortuner is expected to be powered by the new family of GD diesel engines displacing 2.4- and 2.8-litre. Both manual and automatic transmission options with 4×2 and 4×4 configurations are expected to be on offer.
Considering that the older Fortuner is enjoying good demand in India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor may wait for a year or so before fielding the new model.
