Its reach will further be expanded in the near future across Asian markets and the facelift is expected to arrive in India early next year.

To carry the momentum forwards, Toyota has expanded the Fortuner facelift’s range with the inclusion of the TRD Sportivo variant in the Indonesian market. To differentiate itself from the regular model, the TRD gets a host of design updates.

The exterior of the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo comprises of scmoked out LED headlights with integrated LED Daytime Running Lights, redesigned front grille with dark inserts, a deep C-shaped housing for the LED fog lamps with horizontal LED lighting, new skid plates up front and rear, dark accented front and rear bumpers, and more aggressive 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels.

It is good enough to generate a maximum power output of 150 PS and 400 Nm in Indonesia. Upon the arrival of the facelift, the 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel motor was updated to produce 204 PS and 500 Nm. The same powertrain will more likely be offered when the mid-life update debuts in India in 2021. It is paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
