Official prices of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift are scheduled to be announced on coming 6th January. The SUV will witness significant cosmetic changes and feature upgrades along with a more powerful engine. With the mid-life update, the Fortuner will receive a new Legender variant featuring sportier design bits inside and out. Ahead of its launch, the new Toyota Fortuner Legender has been revealed in clear pictures.
The spy pictures confirm that the new Toyota Fortuner Legender will come with bigger 20-inch alloy wheels and get dual-tone Pearl White with Matte Black paint scheme. Design elements such as glossy black front grille, full LED headlamps, deep-set fog lamps, prominent trapezoidal air dam, updated rear bumper and L-shaped faux air vents further distinguish it from the regular model.
Sporty treatment will continue inside the cabin as well. The Legender will feature a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
