People buy it primarily for its rugged nature and high reliability. The Japanese carmaker has proved over the years that it makes some of the most indestructible SUVs on the planet. As a matter of fact, that is the reason for the immense popularity of some of its top-selling SUVs in various parts of the world. Let us take a look at the details of this unique digital rendering which would give us an idea of what the upcoming next-gen model could look like.

Next-Gen Toyota Fortuner
This digital illustration looks on point. At the front, we see a sleek LED headlamp cluster with an integrated LED DRL unit, a massive front grille with chrome inserts, LED fog lamp housings on the extreme edges of the bumper, a rugged skid plate to accentuate its road presence and an upright bonnet to ooze authority. Down the sides, the silhouette remains almost identical to the existing model. This includes black side pillars lending that floating roof effect, a dual-tone black roof, prominent wheel arches, chrome door handles, a practical side step to enhance the ingress and egress characteristics of the SUV, and large stylish alloy wheels. The rear section is not visible in this image. All in all, this could certainly be something close to the production model.
