“Find beauty in the freedom that lies outside of the everyday,” exhorts a Toyota Fortuner enthusiast, “Beyond the mundane, beyond the routine is where you know yourself to be truly alive. You live in a world full of constraints – break out and discover what you have not yet explored.You know no boundaries, which is why you drive your Fortuner. It is the conqueror of cities, the tamer of the wild off-road. Follow your heart, every terrain is yours to master.Refined yet muscular, powerful yet agile, rugged yet comfortable, the Fortuner gives you ultimate freedom of versatility.”
Indeed, the Fortuner arouses similar sentiments in many a heart. And these get a fillip with the variety of up-to-the-minute additions that adorn the Fortuner TRD Sportivo- astylish front bumper, rear & roof spoiler, an imposing TRD Sportivo emblem and a muffler cutter are some of them. Livening-up the entire package is a TRD side tape stripe. The Fortuner TRD Sportivo’s splendid form is further adorned with chrome radiator grille, HID headlamps and magnificent 17″ Alloy Wheels.
