Toyota has revised the Fortuner for 2015.

At the front it receives blacked-out headlamps and teardrop-shaped bezels around the fog lights. The side mirrors now have a chrome finish, while the tail lamps have also been blacked-out to compliment the lights at the front.

One can also now order a Fortuner in “Epic” guise. This particular model features a number of styling and practical enhancements, which will be applied to 50 percent of the range over the next two months of production. The “Epic” specification will be available on all the 3,0D-4D and 4,0 V6 derivatives.

Up front the Epic gets a chrome nudge bars with Epic branding. A set of dark-grey 17-inch alloy wheels adds a decent wallop of style to the Fortuner package.

Epic models also come standard with a towbar, as well as a rear sill protector to make loading bulky objects easier.
