The only additional equipment which the Toyota Fortuner Legender 4×4 gets over its 4×2 counterpart is the four-wheel-drive system, with new features like low range, lockable differential and hill descent control on offer now.

Apart from this, there is no change to the equipment list of the Toyota Fortuner Legender. The 4×4 variant features the different and sleeker-looking gloss black front grille and quad-LED headlamps, dynamic LED turn indicators, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, 11-speaker audio system from JBL, powered tailgate with hands-free opening, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, wireless charger, dual-tone black and maroon leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, seven airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control and hill start assist.

Here too, the engine makes 204 bhp of maximum power and 500 Nm of maximum torque. The Toyota Fortuner Legender 4×4 misses out on a manual gearbox and a petrol engine option, which the regular Fortuner is available with.
