The Toyota Fortuner is a full-size premium SUV built on the rugged underpinnings of the Hilux pickup platform. First introduced in India in 2009, the model has undergone several updates, with the second generation launching in 2016 and receiving a significant facelift in 2020. Known for its durable construction, ladder-frame chassis, and commanding road presence, the Fortuner remains one of the most popular choices among buyers looking for a reliable, seven-seater SUV with off-road capability. In 2025, Toyota expanded the lineup by introducing a mild-hybrid diesel variant featuring a 48V system paired with the existing 2.8-litre engine.
The Toyota Fortuner is priced from ₹36.05 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base Petrol 4x2 MT variant and goes up to ₹52.34 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-end GR-S Diesel 4x4 AT. Additionally, the Fortuner Legender variant, which was introduced in 2021, is priced between ₹44.11 lakh and ₹48.09 lakh (ex-showroom), offering a distinct styling package. The newly introduced mild-hybrid variant is based on the 2.8-litre diesel engine configuration and is part of Toyota’s strategy to improve efficiency in its premium models.
There are seven main variants of the Toyota Fortuner on sale, comprising both petrol and diesel options with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. The lineup includes Petrol 4x2 MT, Petrol 4x2 AT, Diesel 4x2 MT, Diesel 4x2 AT, Diesel 4x4 MT, Diesel 4x4 AT, and the range-topping GR-S Diesel 4x4 AT. Apart from the regular lineup, Toyota offers the Fortuner Legender in two automatic diesel variants, and in 2025, the brand introduced a mild-hybrid diesel variant with the Neo Drive system.
Toyota offers the Fortuner in a range of exterior paint options, including classic solid shades and dual-tone finishes.
The Toyota Fortuner offers an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure ranging from 10 kmpl to 14.4 kmpl, depending on the engine and drivetrain configuration. Diesel variants generally offer better fuel economy, particularly with the addition of the new mild-hybrid 48V system which enhances low-speed responsiveness and marginally improves efficiency. The vehicle is equipped with an 80-litre fuel tank, suitable for long-distance highway use and touring.
The Fortuner is offered with a choice between two engine options. The 2.7-litre petrol engine produces 163 bhp and 245 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine delivers 201 bhp and is offered with both manual and automatic options. Torque output stands at 420 Nm with the manual and 500 Nm with the automatic transmission. In 2025, Toyota launched a diesel mild-hybrid variant which retains the same engine but incorporates a 48V system for improved driveability and efficiency.
The SUV features a part-time 4WD system in the diesel variants, along with a Multi-Terrain Select system that alters powertrain and traction settings for off-road conditions. The drivetrain also includes Downhill Assist Control and Electronic Drive Control, with selectable High and Low Range gearing. On the features front, the Fortuner comes with three drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—alongside an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, powered tailgate with memory function, and connected car technology. Diesel variants benefit from an 11-speaker JBL sound system, while petrol models get a six-speaker setup.
The Toyota Fortuner has received a five-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP and is equipped with a wide range of safety features. These include seven airbags, vehicle stability control with brake assist, traction control, and ABS with EBD. The front seats follow Toyota’s Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) design philosophy, aimed at reducing neck injuries during a rear-end collision. Other safety highlights include ISOFIX child seat anchors, rear parking sensors, and hill-start assist, ensuring the Fortuner meets both urban and off-road safety requirements.
As of June 2025, Toyota has not announced any nationwide discounts on the Fortuner. However, regional dealerships may offer festive deals, exchange benefits, corporate offers, or low-interest finance schemes based on stock and location. Potential buyers are advised to check with authorised Toyota dealerships for current pricing packages and financing options.
The Toyota Fortuner competes in the full-size SUV segment and goes up against rivals such as the MG Gloster, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq. While the Gloster offers more features and ADAS capabilities, the Fortuner remains a strong seller owing to its reputation for reliability and off-road prowess. The Skoda Kodiaq provides a more premium, monocoque alternative, while the Jeep Meridian offers a similar 4x4 layout with a different driving character.
