Bonus Tydskrif Winter 2023

A more delicate touch has been applied to the rear styling. Reworked elements include the aforementioned bumper treatment, a new de- sign for the taillight clusters and a piano black numberplate garnish. Another touch of class is the black badge treatment offered across the model line-up. The profile of the reimagined Fortuner has also been subtly tidied up. The all-new two-tone black and metal 18-inch multi-layered, ma- chine-cut finished alloys (now standard across the range), provide the final flourish. For maxi- mum impact, Fortuner 2.8-litre customers can specify the new bi-tone colour option which pairs a black roof (including spoiler, garnish, outer mirror housings and shark fin antenna) with the exclusive platinum pearl white exterior. Platinum pearl white is now also available across the range. Overall, the newcomer looks ‘aggressive’ and edgier than before, which is of course on trend for Toyota’s global SUV and crossover models. Subtle interior refinements Leather is standard across the Fortuner range, but the package is elevated even further for 2.8-litre customers with the adoption of a new dual-tone colour palette, which sees the har- monious pairing of black and maroon leather. Matching maroon stitching adorns various surfaces providing a striking counterpoint to the predominantly black trim. All the 2.8 variants further benefit from the ad- dition of a USB points for rear passengers. One other discernible differentiator on these models is the revised instrument cluster which features all-new graphics, new black background orna- mentation and revised opening animation for for the TFT display. There were several interior refinements that were made to the model year 2022 Fortuner. These included an upgrade to dual-zone cli- mate control for 2.8-litre models, a panoramic view monitor (PVM) with selectable view for the range-topping VX grade, and for avowed au- diophiles, a major spec up to the 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system.
