The Fortuner owns the moment with a muscular yet stylish presence. Its newly-designed bumpers, radiator grille, headlamps and rear combination lamps create a striking new look that is further complemented by 17" alloy wheels, colour-coded exterior mirrors (electrically adjustable with integrated indicators), a chrome rear door garnish and a rear spoile with a high-mount stop lamp. HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps optimise visibility and keep riders safe on the road.
Additionally, the car is equipped with two airbags for driver and passenger, as well as many other advanced features.
Fortified with 2.7litre engine, four-speed automatic transmission, Fortuner, according to Toyota Nigeria Limited (TNL) was introduced due to increasing demands from customers across the country.
Though there are other Sports Utility Vehicles under the umbrella of TNL, the new Fortuner, is expected to win more loyalists because of its “bold, stylish and stable disposition.”
Unveiling the SUV in Lagos last week, TNL Managing Director Mr Chandra Thampy said the car is designed and reinforced for the Nigerian terrain.
Thampy boasted that the company would not leave anything stone unturned in its quest to meet customers taste and demand.
“We are happy to launch this new product for our customers, who have continually asked for quality products from us. The new Toyota Fortuner is specifically built for Nigerian roads and our terrain. You will recall that we recently launched 2012 Toyota Camry into the market,” he said.
Stating that the car is from the Middle East, Thampy said, it is in line with the Toyota concept of durability, quality, performance and safety.
TNL General Manager (Marketing) Mr Bayo Olawoyin said the Fortuner was developed from the Hilux.
Emphasising that the Fortuner is designed to deliver optimal performance, Olawoyin said the engines are built with the consideration of fuel economy and the environment.
“The suspension and aerodynamics have been optimised to assume excellent stability and steering feel. The exterior is rugged and aesthetically appealing and the vehicle length is 4705mm, width, 1840mm and height is 1795mm,” he said.
According to him, the Fortuner like every other Toyota product has been designed to ensure low engine noise.
“It comes in a 2.7 litre engine, which operates silently without noise with four speed automatic transmissions, four cylinders in line with twin Cam 16valve,” he said.
The Fortuner delivers a rich lineup of features that guarantee passenger comfort. It is equipped with ABS brakes, interior chrome finish, dual zone A/C (front and rear), folding electric mirrors, parking sensors, remote power door locks, audio steering controls, and Ipod AUX.
A high-class look is presented by using a three-dimensional design of substantial volume that matches the form of the license plate. The vehicle’s name logo is placed in the center of the garnish, fostering a clear rearview impression.
The design is changed to create an intergrated look by smoothing the transition between body and bumper. The bottom edge of the bumper is streched out to both edge, and the central section, which is inward-slanting on both sides, is given a three-dimensional form, to emphasize a look that expresses the powerfulness of an SUV
Newly adopted body-colored outer mirrrors with side turns signal lamps accentuate the high-class look.
The redesigned aluminium side step is equipped with a black plastic cover, emphasizing the intrepid look. The cover surface is grooved to precent slipping, in consideration of running the vehicle in heavy weather and on muddy groud.
By combining alternate spokes if different shape, a novel and refined design has been created.
In addition to the straight-line-themed sharp form, the use of a lamp configuration giving a sense of depth, and the cylindrical-shaped projector lamp located centrally on the vehicle, convey a high-class, advanced look. HID headlamps with auto-leveling function are also available.
While assimilating the boldly carved- out, inverted trapezoid theme, the design is modified to bring out prestige and refinement.
The distinctive rear combination lamps sport two sets of round graphics. The complete lamp is changed to a clear lens configuration, giving a more clear-cut impression and advanced look.
