Toyota Kirloskar Motor India is set to launch the Toyota Fortuner facelift today (6 January). This will be the mid-life update for this generation of the Fortuner, and follows a similar update to the related Innova Crysta MPV last month.

At the rear, the bumper has been chiselled down, while the taillamps now have a sleeker look to them. The interior has been revised too, the highlight being a new eight-inch infotainment system and revised instrumentation. There are seven airbags on offer too.[caption id="attachment_9152611" align="alignnone" width="1280"]![Image: Overdrive]()

The headlamps have four-part LED detailing, there are deep recesses for the foglamps and low-mounted LED DRLs. There are dual-tone alloy wheels while at the rear there are L-shaped inserts and a contrasting faux diffuser. The Legender also gets a unique black and maroon interior, a larger 9-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera and wireless charging.
