Does the Legender’s design make the Fortuner more aerodynamic or is it all for aesthetics?

While the Toyota Fortuner Legender looks more aggressive and sleeker than the regular Fortuner, especially in its front fascia. The redesign features a sleeker grille, reshaped bumpers and new LED headlamps. These changes may certainly make the Legender more modern and sporty, but there is debate over whether these design elements do have any effect on aerodynamics, or are just for looks. There are some who say that smoother lines might reduce drag, and others who think the changes are too minor to make a difference in real world performance. This question hits a broader spot in discussing the form vs function in automotive design, specifically in the SUV segment where aesthetics are emphasised over rugged, practicality and also where aerodynamics often go behind an SUV’s tough look.
