However, it does get a couple of added features while the power figures have been updated as well. Here's what we can expect the new Toyota Fortuner to be like.

On the inside, you'll hardly see anything new in the layout and finish. That said, there are some notable updates in the features department. Keeping up with the competition, it gets a new 8.0-inch touchscreen system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other updates include LED ambient lighting, a moderately updated instrument cluster, multi-functional steering wheel, electrically adjustable front seats, wireless phone charger and nine-speaker JBL audio system among others.
