Next-Gen Toyota Fortuner
This digital illustration looks on point. At the front, we see a sleek LED headlamp cluster with an integrated LED DRL unit, a massive front grille with chrome inserts, LED fog lamp housings on the extreme edges of the bumper, a rugged skid plate to accentuate its road presence and an upright bonnet to ooze authority. Down the sides, the silhouette remains almost identical to the existing model. This includes black side pillars lending that floating roof effect, a dual-tone black roof, prominent wheel arches, chrome door handles, a practical side step to enhance the ingress and egress characteristics of the SUV, and large stylish alloy wheels. The rear section is not visible in this image. All in all, this could certainly be something close to the production model.

What We Think
It is quite common for digital automobile artists to develop unique iterations of popular vehicles. It gives them the opportunity to display their creativity. Simultaneously, it offers the viewers a chance to visualise their favourite vehicle in a completely different guise. But unlike a lot of such digital renditions, this one is not too extravagant to not make it to production. That is what we appreciate the most about this particular illustration. We will have to wait to see how the actual product looks in real life when it arrives in a few months.
