The Toyota Fortuner Legender was launched in India in January 2021.

The Toyota Fortuner Legender is offered with one engine option; a 2.8-litre diesel engine producing 201bhp and 500Nm of torque, paired to a six-speed automatic transmission unit. It can be had in two variants — 4x2 and 4x4 option.

On the outside, the Toyota Fortuner Legender features a sleeker split grille, new LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, sequential turn indicators mounted on the lower front bumper, tweaked front and rear bumpers, new 18-inch alloy wheels, and revised LED tail lights.

Inside, the Toyota Fortuner Legender gets black dials for the instrument cluster, a rear USB charging port, a wireless smartphone chargering, ambient lighting, an auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror, and a hands-free tail-gate opening. Other features which are carried over from the standard Fortuner include an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car technology, a cooled glove-box, drive modes, electrically adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, ventilated front seats, puddle lamps, and an engine start-stop button. The model receives safety features in the form of seven airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a seat-belt reminder system, and speed alert system, VSC with brake assist, traction control, and a park assist function.
