There won’t be a major change in the pricing of the Sportivo. The minor change due to the increase in fit and finish. The Fortuner TRD Sportivo doesn’t get more features, rather cosmetic changes. We wish there were some additional features on offer in this variant. This extra premium that is charged over the Fortuner offers a lot of features. This means that every extra penny paid is seen on this car. This pricing is better than what we saw on the Innova Touring Sport.

Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo 2019 Space

In terms of space, the Fortuner TRD Sportivo is the same as the regular Fortuner. The front row has a large seat and space is just perfect. Driver’s seat has electric adjustment.  The second row has good space, comfortable seating however the headroom is a bit tight. These seats slide and recline and there are AC vents on the roof. The third row, well if the front seats are moved ahead, there is decent knee room. The headroom too is just fine. With all the rows raised, there isn’t much space in the boot. However, the third row folds flat as the seats move on the side. There is no electrically folding for these seats. The tailgate is electric. All changes are cosmetic, nothing more than that.
