Toyota fortuner SUV has managed to dominate the segment since its launch in 2009 and the 2021 facelift just takes the Fortuner brand to a whole different level. While 2021 facelift doesn’t come with an extensive exterior redesigning, it does feature a lot of game-changing features inside and what’s new under the hood also guarantees a wave of excitement among the Fortuner fanbase.

However, there's still a lot that is new specially on the front. The grille is new and has become bigger while the LED projector lamps now come with different looking DRL's and are sleeker than before. The fog lamps too have become smaller while the bumper has changed too, and you also get silver skid plates now which look much better. The SUV also gets a new sparkling black crystal shine colour. On the profile the big highlight is the new alloy wheel design that certainly appeals more than before. The four-wheel drive variants get 18-inch wheels while the two-wheel drive ones get one size lesser. At the rear, not much changes apart from the new LED taillights.

If you go in for the top-of-the-line Legender variant what's on offer is an even more aggressive grille, a taller bumper, new quad LED headlights, sequential turn indicators, a different alloy design and a dual tone roof. In a world full of sub-4 metre cars, the Fortuner has really big dimensions - It is 4,795 m long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,835 mm tall. And Its wheelbase is 2745 mm.

With this facelift Toyota is trying to keep up with the more feature rich cabins of rivals like the Ford Endeavour and the MG Gloster. Both the front seats are now ventilated and electrically adjustable and the good thing is that its standard across the range. The 8.0-inch Smart Playcast Touchscreen Audio is new and is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Its quite responsive but the interface could've been better and the size bigger, looking at this massive cabin. The SUV also gets connected car technology for the first time which means you have access to features like geo-fencing, real-time tracking, last parked location, etc.

The 2.8 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine now makes more power and torque than before. You get a little over 200 brake horsepower and 420 Nm of peak torque on the 6-speed manual that kicks in fairly early at 1,400 rpm and stays till 3,400 rpm. It gets even better on the Automatic that I got to drive. Here you get a healthier 500 Nm from 1,600-2,800 rpm. And that is quite helpful for a car that weighs more than 2,600 kgs. Both Automatic and Manual transmissions and come with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options. The Legender, meanwhile, just gets diesel two-wheel drive automatic variant. This engine with the Auto gearbox also feels more refined when compared to the pre-facelift model. You can sense that the torque delivery feels a lot more linear and the gear changes too are quick and smooth.

The 2.7 litre 4 cylinder Petrol is being offered with both Manual and Automatic gearbox options but there's no 4WD option here. On this engine you get much lesser 164 brake horse power and 245 Nm at 4,000 rpm. So yes, there's a lot to choose from when it comes to drivetrain options. In all there are now 3 modes to choose from in the diesel – Eco, Normal and Sport. If you cannot do your overtaking moves in normal mode, the Sport will help you do it. The Eco mode is strictly for city traffic and don't expect anything but better efficiency here. The petrol gets two drive modes called Eco and Power like earlier.
