2021 Toyota Fortuner Facelift & Legender Surpass 5,000 Booking Mark in India

The Toyota Fortuner facelift was introduced last month in the Indian market, along with the launch of new top-spec Fortuner Legender. The Japanese car manufacturer has revised the exterior and added some comfort and convenience goodies on the latest version of the Toyota Fortuner. These changes on the Fortuner have received some positive signals from the market. As of late, Toyota Kirloskar announced that the Toyota Fortuner facelift has garnered over 5,000 bookings within one month after its arrival, which is an impressive number for a full-sized SUV.

The new facelifted version, without a doubt, will strengthen Toyota Fortuner’s influence in the market. Before the entry of the new facelift, the Fortuner is claimed to hold 53 per cent of the total market share. Toyota expects to increase the sales with the addition of the special Toyota Fortuner Legender, hence, expanding its bite in the market. At this point, Toyota has sold over 1.7 lakh units of the Fortuner in India.

Compared to the standard version, Toyota Fortuner Legender is rolled off with a host of cosmetic updates and feature enhancements. As far as the exterior is concerned, the Legender gains a unique identity with a slightly revised front avatar. The new front updates come in the form of quad-LED headlights, a sleeker grille and a more dominant air dam. It also adorns 18-inch alloy wheels with dual-tone machine finish, which is not available on the standard model. To the rear end, there is a slightly different bumper with black treatment. On the inside, a dual-tone Black Maroon theme, along with other minor styling elements, has set the top-spec Legender apart from the regular version. Some exclusive features of the Legender variants over the regular version include wireless mobile charging, rear USB port, ambient lighting, and a foot-activated power liftgate.
