The Toyota Fortuner has been a home run success for the Japanese automaker in the Philippines. It's the country's best-selling midsize body-on-frame SUV or pick-up-based passenger vehicle (PPV) as it's called in our region. Even though it's such a highly successful model, Toyota isn't resting on its laurels on the Fortuner. Instead, they gave it a mid-cycle update for the 2021 model year. This is the 2021 Toyota Fortuner LTD variant to be precise, which receives the bulk of the nameplate's updates.

One look at the new Toyota Fortuner LTD is enough to make you notice that this is the facelifted model. As a new, sportier variant, the front fascia looks handsome in my eyes. Some of its design highlights are the 18-inch wheels, black contrasting roof, sleek LED headlights, and the full LED taillights with its sweeping LED turn signals. The new Fortuner LTD variant is definitely one of the most handsome PPVs out there, right along the lines of the newly-updated Terra to my eyes.
