Toyota Fortuner

Toyota Fortuner Leader Edition has been launched at Rs 34.79 lakh (ex-showroom) with a tougher visual upgrade. It gets a new grille, bonnet lettering, spoilers, dual-tone roof, and gloss-black alloys, while the cabin adds black–maroon upholstery. Power comes from the 2.8L diesel (201 bhp/500 Nm) with MT or AT, but it’s 4×2 only.

Toyota Fortuner and Legender have crossed a cumulative 3 lakh sales milestone in India, underlining their enduring popularity. Buyers continue to favour them for rugged build, proven reliability, strong road presence, and brand trust, even as prices climb and features lag newer rivals. The Fortuner remains a top aspirational SUV despite its age.

Toyota Fortuner is likely to get a 48V mild-hybrid diesel setup as early as next month, pairing the existing 2.8L diesel with improved efficiency, smoother start-stop, and torque assist - without hurting off-road capability. At the same time, petrol-manual variants have been discontinued, streamlining the Fortuner’s powertrain lineup and pushing the entry price higher.

Toyota Fortuner petrol-manual has been discontinued, making the SUV’s entry point more expensive. The range now starts at Rs 35.37 lakh (ex-showroom) with the petrol 4×2 automatic, while diesel manuals are still available. The move likely reflects low demand and streamlines the lineup, but it also sidelines manual-gearbox enthusiasts looking for a more affordable Fortuner.

Toyota Fortuner Signature Edition has been launched at Rs 39.08 lakh (ex-showroom) as a festive special. It brings cosmetic upgrades only, including dual-tone paint, blue/red accents, special badging, tri-tone upholstery, and coloured brake calipers, while retaining the 2.8L diesel engine and existing feature set unchanged.
