The Legender's cabin has a robust, built-to-last feel to it, and some materials have been upgraded. However, many of the plastics are still harsh, the button quality is mediocre, and the Fortuner lacks the key quality feel found on many of its competitors. Even if the interiors aren't spectacular, the car has enough functionality to get the job done and look decent while doing it.
On the inside, the Fortuner features two-tone seats, ambient lighting, an electronic rear-view mirror, wireless charging, a USB port in the back, and a kick sensor for opening the boot while your hands are full. There's also a larger 8-inch touchscreen with quick controls, connected technology, cooled seats, and Apple Car Play and Android Auto now come standard on the Fortuner.

The legender receives a 204hp engine that also produces
500Nm of torque, and it has a big impact on how the new Fortuner drives. The boost in power was obtained principally through the use of a more powerful variable nozzle turbo, which is now operated by an electric motor. Torque is now available at 1,600 rpm, and Toyota has enhanced airflow at higher engine speeds as well.
In addition, the engine is more responsive. Toyota has introduced a third drive mode to the Fortuner Legender, making it three instead of two. It now includes Eco, Normal, and Sport modes. Sport mode sharpens up engine reactions beautifully, and the six-speed gearbox is quick to respond and easy to manipulate with your right foot as well.
