As we eagerly await the unveiling of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, SUV enthusiasts are also looking forward to the new generation Toyota Fortuner. However, sources indicate that we will have to wait until early 2024 for the release of the next generation Toyota Fortuner.
While we wait, many designers have taken it upon themselves to create unofficial renderings of the new Fortuner, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from this Japanese 7-seat SUV. One of the most recent renderings, created by SRK Designs, has garnered a lot of attention.

Based on this rendering, we can see that the upcoming model will feature a redesigned front fascia with a new grille, sharper headlights with new LED daytime running lights, revised fog lamp housing, a grille with multiple horizontal slats and a Toyota logo at the center, as well as a more muscular bonnet.
Other notable enhancements include newly designed alloy wheels, larger air intakes, and a new front skid plate. Sources suggest that the 2024 Toyota Fortuner will be based on the TNGA-F platform, which it shares with the Tundra, Land Cruiser 300, and the upscale Lexus LX. This may result in increased overall dimensions and a more spacious interior.

Another significant upgrade for the 2024 Toyota Fortuner is the introduction of a mild-hybrid system, which could be paired with the current 2.8L GD diesel engine. This system is expected to be exclusively mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Toyota predicts that the inclusion of mild-hybrid technology will result in a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to non-hybrid variants.
Furthermore, off-road capabilities and related technologies will be improved, while the cabin will be upgraded to a more premium level with enhanced materials and advanced technologies.
