The India-bound 2016 Toyota Fortuner has been given a modern design and two new engines.

The next-generation Toyota Fortuner, a highly successful model for Toyota India, is a complete redesign compared to the incumbent version. With a fresh ladder-frame chassis underpinning the SUV, Toyota has gone for a total redesign inside out. Seen in these images are a clear mark of the comprehensive design makeover of the Fortuner.

The interior also sports a very premium look, with its new dashboard and centre console design.

With its sleek and slick exterior design, however, it could be said that the Fortuner loses some of the chunky and robust looks that made it all the more appealing to Indian customers.

It may share its interior architecture with the Hilux, but several components have been redesigned for individuality. The spy shots show it featuring a new centre console that also has a touchscreen integrated into it. The dashboard, compared to the Hilux, has been redesigned to give it a more modern, car-like look. The SUV will, in Thailand, come in three engine options: two diesel and one petrol.
