New Toyota Fortuner 2012

The Toyota Fortuner, soulmate of the Toyota Hilux pickup on which it is based, has just received a facelift for 2012. It has already been revealed in Thailand, where it is built.

First introduced in 2005, the 2012 Toyota Fortuner receives a new frontal treatment similar to that of the 2012 Toyota Hilux. That includes new headlights, bumper and grille, along with different tail lamps, rear bumper and wheels. The 8-seater interior may have changed a bit, but we can’t be sure without comparing to an older model. The bonnet scoop is only turbodiesel models, which are not offered in the GCC.

That’s about it for the “new” model, as the engines remain the same. Expect the facelifted Fortuner to reach dealerships in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries by the end of summer.

As we see from the images, the new 2012 Toyota Fortuner has sharper finish and the interiors are plusher than before. The Toyota Fortuner has been a successful car with or without the facelift and hence, Toyota Motors has no reason to launch the upgraded version anytime soon. It is the frontend that has undergone maximum change, though the rear end and the interior changes cannot be ruled out. The grille, the headlamps in the front and the bumper are modified to give an edgy finish. The headlights are adorned with projector lamps along with the conventional lights. The front end changes look more effective with the huge chrome grille with horizontal slats
