Toyota Fortuner Looks Mean with Old Land Cruiser-Inspired Body Kit

In this latest instance, a Toyota Fortuner bears a rather interesting Takai Limgene body kit resembling elements of a Land Cruiser. For several years, the Fortuner has held the title of the most sought-after 7-seat off-roader in the country, a position solidified, especially after the exit of its main competitor, the Ford Endeavour. In contrast, the Land Cruiser is one of the most triumphant luxury SUVs globally, becoming the go-to option for numerous celebrities across the world. Let us check out the details of this unique fusion.

Toyota Fortuner or Land Cruiser?

These images come from icon60autocustomsofficial on Instagram. They contain a rather unconventional fusion. The existing Fortuner wears the fascia of an old Land Cruiser. One could clearly see the colossal grille with horizontal slabs neatly integrated between the sleek LED headlamps. Apart from that, the grille culminates into the sporty and striking bumper. There are substantial fog lamp housings on the extreme edges of the bumper. I also like the compact skid plate in the centre. The black elements accentuate the sportiness of the SUV.

Moving down the sides, the elegant and large alloy wheels look quite imposing. As is the case with almost every large SUV, the side profile has the side steps to enhance the ingress and egress characteristics of the vehicle. At the rear, the body kit also includes a black quarter glass area, pronounced wheel arches, a prominent roof spoiler, an additional LED taillamp mounted vertically, and an adventurous rear bumper with tiny hints of a diffuser just like you see on a sportscar. A massive exhaust pipe marks its presence too. All in all, I appreciate the subtle but effective customizations on the Fortuner to make it look slightly like the old Land Cruiser.
