The 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift is all set to go on sale in India on January 6, 2021, and this time around the company will also be introducing a sportier, special version of the SUV, called the Fortuner Legender. Recently the Toyota Fortuner Legender trim was spotted in India ahead of its launch, without any camouflage, giving us a closer look at the updated flagship SUV. Compared to the regular Fortuner facelift, the Legender trim will come with sharper styling, a sportier body kit, dual-tone paint job, and more stylish alloy wheels.

While we do not get to see the cabin in these images, we expect the SUV to come with a bigger 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, LED ambient lighting, revised instrument cluster, and much more. In terms of features, the SUV will get electrically-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, wireless phone charger, 9-speaker JBL audio system, 360-degree view camera view, 7 airbags, Toyota's safety sense, collision prevention system, lane departure warning, radar-guided dynamic cruise control and more.
Powertrain wise, the 2021 Toyota Fortuner will continue to get the BS6 compliant petrol and diesel engines. While the former is a 2.7-litre motor that makes 164 bhp and 245 Nm torque, the diesel unit is a 2.8-litre engine which develops 201 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque. The transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed sequential automatic unit.
