Toyota Kirloskar Motor will launch the TRD Sportivo variant of the Fortuner before the end of September, dealers confirmed to IAB. Customers can place orders for the Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo now.

The TRD Sportivo trim is based on the 2.8 L Diesel 4x2 AT variant of the Toyota Fortuner. It features only cosmetic additions which comes via a body kit, and new alloy wheels and decals. A gloss black finish replaces the chrome applique on the grille and also adds a red 'TRD' badge. Front fog lamps get a black housing as part of the bumper extension. TRD Sportivo stickering with red and black stripes is placed just above the door sill.

Toyota will offer the TRD Sportivo only with the diesel automatic pairing without 4x4. The 2,755 cc engine under the hood of the diesel Fortuner produces 450 Nm @ 1,600 - 2,400 rpm when paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Peak power of 177 PS comes in at 3,400 rpm.

The equipment list stays the same. The Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo features Bi-beam LED headlights, LED tail lamps, Smartkey, 7-inch infotainment system with navigation, leather inlays in the centre console, powered tailgate, and one-touch tumble second-row seats.
