The beltline also kinks upwards towards the rear, and blacked-out pillars give it a “floating roof” look. Under this, a chiselled bumper with chrome inserts brings on a very macho look.Īlong the side, the prominent haunches give the new Fortuner a strong stance, enhanced by optional 18-inch wheels shod in 265/60 rubber (standard fitment in Thailand). Looks handsome, doesn’t it? While we’ve seen the design as early as March, it remains very forward-looking, with slim headlights flanking a heavily-chromed grille.

The second-generation Hilux-based seven-seater SUV has been totally redesigned with a sleek new look, a more premium-looking interior and a range of new engines. My Fortuner is 99% chauffeur driven, I rather save that huge chunk and get the DC upgrade than pay the steep price tag of the Fortuner.After plenty of leaks and spyshots, the 2016 Toyota Fortuner has finally been unveiled in Thailand.

Have always been tempted to get a DC upgrade, might consider it this time. I am more keen to replace by Fortuner with the Innova Crysta. The only way Toyota would get me back as a returning customer would be if they dramatically changed the ride quality. Most magazine review claim the ride quality has improved but not dramatically, it yet seems to be bumpy due to the ladder on frame. Although your review focusing on the great new interiors and some improvement on the refinement there isn't much talk about the bumpy ride. Major reason being the poor ride quality followed by the interiors and refinement. I recall we bought the first gen Fortuner around the same time, however even though I yet have it, I have never been fully satisfied with the car. Great review as always Karan! I see your video effect skills are getting better too, I like the lighting effect you got done in the start of the video.įrankly, I am a bit surprised you got the Fortuner again.
