Toyota Fortuner Latest Updates

The Toyota Fortuner is still going strong in the Indian market. It’ll no longer be Toyota’s flagship SUV in 2023 with the arrival of the Land Cruiser LC 300. The SUV is also expected to be updated to BS6 phase II emission norms and become E20-ready this year.

Toyota Fortuner Engine

The Toyota Fortuner gets two engine options: a new 204PS/500Nm 2.8-litre diesel and a 166PS/245Nm 2.7-litre petrol unit. Transmission options include 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox. The diesel variants get an option for rear and all-wheel drive, whereas the petrol variants are only offered with a rear-wheel drivetrain.

Toyota Fortuner Variants

Toyota offers the SUV in two broad variants: Standard and Legender. While the standard model is offered with all the powertrains, the Legender comes only with a diesel 4×2 AT powertrain.

Toyota Fortuner Features

The new Fortuner comes with various updated features including a new touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 11-speaker JBL sound system, ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting, and hands-free tailgate opening. It also gets a differential lock, which was missing in the previous models. Other features such as cruise control, climate control, powered-driver seats, multi-info display, and keyless entry with button start have been retained. Safety is taken care of by seven airbags, ABS with EBD, front parking sensors, rear camera with parking sensors, and electronic stability control. Unlike its rivals, the Fortuner misses out on a sunroof.

Toyota Fortuner Competitors

The Toyota Fortuner and Fortuner Legender will lock horns with the Ford Endeavour, MG Gloster and Mahindra Alturas G4.
