The all-new Toyota Fortuner is a complete departure from its predecessor and is underpinned by the new TNGA platform. The new architecture has helped shed weight on the SUV, while also improving the ride and handling of the model. The styling is a lot more urban, moving away from the butch appeal, with the SUV boasting of sharp lines, slender headlamps with LED projector lights and LED DRLs. The rear gets wraparound LED tail lamps, while there is decent amount of chrome all over keeps the model premium. Here are 10 things you need to know about the all new Fortuner

That said, the large proportions continue to remain one of the USPs of the all-new Toyota Fortuner with the accentuated wheel arches and massive ground clearance making its off-roading capability evident.
Inside, the SUV gets a modern looking cabin and is fitted with premium materials all over including leather upholstered seats. The cabin is more spacious too, while the feature list is a lot more expansive and includes a touchscreen infotainment system with audio connectivity and navigation, ambient lighting, multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters, automatic climate control, electric tailgate and a whole lot more. The SUV continues to offer three-row seating with the second and third row foldable, to make way improved cargo space.
