Toyota Fortuner Legender SUV India Launch Confirmed: Will Rival The MG Gloster

According to Autocar India, the Toyota Fortuner Legender SUV will go on sale in India sometime in early-2021. The Fortuner Legender will not replace the standard SUV but sold alongside it as a more premium version.

The Fortuner Legender SUV comes with significant design changes, along with a number of new features and a completely different engine as well. Starting from the front, the Legender has a much sharper set of LED headlamps with individual elements and dual projector setup and integrated LED DRLs. There are also dynamic LED turn indicator strips lower down on the bumper.

Other changes also include a new sleeker grille with the ‘Toyota' badging at the centre. A brand new front bumper with sharp creases and LED fog lamps on either side of the large air intake. The SUV also features a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels, along with some additional design revisions at the rear of the SUV.

Moving inside, the Toyota Fortuner Legender continues to offer a host of additional features and equipment. The SUV comes with a larger touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 360-degree camera, premium dual-tone upholstery on the seats, wireless charging, automatic climate control, lane-departure warning, cruise control, a Hilux-like steering wheel with mounted controls and many others.

However, the most impressive aspect of the Toyota Fortuner Legender is its engine. The premium SUV comes powered by a 2.8-litre diesel engine producing 204bhp and 500Nm of peak torque. The engine could come mated to a manual gearbox, with the optional automatic transmission also on offer.
