Toyota Fortuner is the most popular 7-seater off-roading SUV in the country for a long time now.
This is an enticing Suzuki’s version of the mighty Toyota Fortuner called Augusta. The Fortuner has established itself as the leading 7-seat off-roader in the country, enjoying continuous success since its introduction. The departure of the formidable Ford Endeavour has left potential buyers with limited alternatives, making the Fortuner the go-to choice in its segment. Recognizing this, Toyota has introduced several iterations of the renowned Fortuner to cater to market demands. As Toyota and Suzuki have a collaboration that involves the sale of rebadged products, a designer has envisioned Suzuki’s version of the Fortuner. Let’s delve into the details of this intriguing concept.

Suzuki’s Version of Toyota Fortuner
This unique iteration has been doing the rounds on the internet lately. Essentially, there aren’t too many changes to the regular Fortuner. It is only once that the onlookers glance at the Suzuki logo that is present on the front grille with chrome and underneath it that things become clear. This is the latest trend that we’ve seen in Maruti Suzuki products in our country. Apart from that, the LED DRLs are sleek along with the LED headlamp units. The front bumper is quite chunky with a skid plate accentuating the adventurous presence. The side profile is also visible in this image and is completely reminiscent of the regular Toyota Fortuner.

What We Think
Maruti Suzuki has no intentions of introducing its own version of the Fortuner in the market. Instead, we can look forward to the upcoming next-generation model of the Toyota Fortuner itself. Therefore, it would be impractical to launch Suzuki’s iteration of the renowned SUV from the previous generation. However, we are still excited to witness the unique creations that digital artists bring to the table, as they offer something truly distinct. We also value the meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful virtual concepts of various vehicles.
