Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros Co (AAB), the official dealer for Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Qatar, has launched the new 2021 Toyota Fortuner at the Toyota main showroom, introducing a “refreshed design and upgraded features that promise a more refined experience for the driver and passengers”.
The seven-seater SUV builds on the model’s heritage as a stylish yet durable vehicle with four-wheel-drive powered off-road capabilities, AAB has said in a statement.
R K Murugan, acting CEO of AAB, said: “The new Fortuner’s exterior design has been notably enhanced, with its large front grille and silver bumper strips creating a stronger sense of rigidity and dependability. The SUV’s appearance also benefits from newly designed Light Guiding Headlights with Daytime Running Lights, together with a pair of stylish LED Guiding Taillights that make it stand out after dark.”
Firas Mufti, senior marketing manager, added: “Drivers and passengers can enjoy a range of intelligent features designed to increase convenience and safety that not only make for a highly comfortable drive, but also a more elegant way to get out there and explore. These include an 8-inch display audio that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, as well as the T-Connect app by Toyota.”
The Fortuner is available with a choice of highly efficient petrol and diesel engine options, the statement notes. The petrol options include a 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine, which produces 164hp and 245nm of torque, and a 4.0-litre V6 engine that churns out 235hp and 376nm of torque. The diesel
option features a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine capable of generating 147hp and 400nm of torque.
The Fortuner’s 6-speed automatic transmission maximises engine potential and features multi-stage gears that are optimised to improve drive force in the low-speed range.
As with any other Toyota model, safety remains a top priority for the new Fortuner, which incorporates a comprehensive array of features designed to protect its occupants. These include SRS airbags for the front seats along with a knee airbag for the driver, Vehicle Stability Control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Tire Pressure Warning System and Hill-start Assist Control, among others.
The new Fortuner is available in eight exterior colours.
