Toyota has given its Fortuner PPV (Pickup Passenger Vehicle) an update for 2021 as well as launching a sporty GR Sport version to broaden the lineup.
While the standard 2021 Fortuner variants get additional panoramic view monitor and dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, the GR Sport features both exterior and interior upgrades, as well as monotube shock absorbers and four-wheel disc brakes.
Meanwhile, the Fortuner Legender also gets added equipment such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor and the Toyota Safety Sense (Pre-collision system, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control).
The Fortuner was first introduced in 2005 under Toyota’s IMV project serving as an upmarket derivative of the Hilux 1-ton pickup truck, and more than 380,000 units have been sold up to date.
