An image showing a blurry outline of the 2016 Toyota Fortuner has emerged on several Thai publications. Although, Toyota hasn’t sent out this image officially, reports suggest that it could be a snapshot of a presentation made by the Japanese carmaker for its dealers.

The forthcoming new Toyota Fortuner will be revealed alongside the 2016 Toyota Hilux pickup, and will be based on a new ladder-frame chassis. The new 2016 Toyota Fortuner will continue to sport its ruggedness and off-road ability.

The all-new 2016 Toyota Fortuner will be offered in petrol and diesel engine options in international markets. This forthcoming new SUV will also be offered in multiple variants. The engines are expected to be paired to manual and automatic transmissions with 2WD and 4WD.
