New Fortuner to debut globally on December 1. SUV will get Hilux-inspired styling with new front and rear. ADAS, larger screens and premium interiors expected. Existing petrol and diesel engines are likely to retained.
The next-generation Toyota Fortuner is one of the highly anticipated upcoming SUVs in India. The all-new model is set to make its global debut in South Africa on December 1, 2026. Since the new-gen model has been undergoing testing for a long time and has been spied testing multiple times in Thailand and Argentina, we have a handful details about its exterior design and interior changes. The new Toyota Fortuner is expected to hit Indian roads in 2027.
New Hilux-Inspired Design
The 2027 Toyota Fortuner will receive comprehensive design changes, heavily inspired from the new Hilux and Toyota’s global SUV design language. Spy images suggest that the SUV will feature a more upright and wider front fascia and a flatter bonnet. The newly-deigned mesh-style grille, split headlamp setup with slim LED DRLs positioned slightly higher and revised front bumper with larger air intakes and integrated fog lamps will further enhance its refreshing front looks.
The side profile is expected to remain largely unchanged, except for the newly-designed alloy wheels and revised body cladding. The SUV could also get updated LED taillamps with slimmer, wraparound elements, a revised rear bumper and redesigned tailgate.
ADAS, Larger Screens & More
The biggest upgrade could be the addition of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), as its test mules have been spied with radar modules integrated into the lower front bumper and cameras behind the windscreen. The ADAS suite could offer features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistance, lane departure alert, autonomous emergency braking, a 360-degree surround view camera and front and rear parking sensors.
The new Toyota Fortuner could also get a redesigned dashboard, a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a new steering wheel, ventilated and electrically adjustable front seats, a premium sound system, enhanced connectivity features, updated physical controls and improved material quality and new upholstery.
Engines Will Be Retained
Under the hood, the 2027 Toyota Fortuner is expected to retain its existing engine options. For reference, the existing 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbo diesel engine produces 204bhp with up to 500Nm of torque. It comes with both 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox options along with RWD and 4WD configurations.
The 48V mild-hybrid system, Neo Drive, could also continue to be offered. The new Fortuner will also retain the existing 2.7-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, generating power worth 166bhp and 245Nm of torque. It can be had either with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Fortuner will retain its ladder-frame chassis and four-wheel drive (4WD) capabilities.
