New Toyota Fortuner prices are introductory: Report

Toyota launched the new Fortuner in India on November 7 with a price tag starting at Rs 25.92 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and going all the way up to Rs 31.12 lakh. But the latest news is that these prices of the new Fortuner could be introductory.

If the emerging reports are anything to go by, the prices of new Fortuner may see changes soon as the current prices are introductory. However, we are yet to hear from Toyota on the same. The Japanese auto giant, Toyota launched the new Fortuner in six variants-- 4x2 Petrol Manual, 4x2 Petrol Auto, 4x2 Diesel Manual, 4x2 Diesel Auto, 4x4 Diesel Manual and 4x4 Diesel Auto. The Fortuner, which comes with a 2.7-litre petrol engine or a 2.8-litre diesel motor under the hood, comes in seven shades– Dark Brown, Super White, Attitude Black, Avant Grade Bronze Metallic, Dark Grey Mica Metallic, Phantom Brown Metallic and Silver Metallic.

While the diesel variant is tuned to generate a power of 175bhp and 420Nm of torque, the petrol mill pumps in 164bhp of power along with 245Nm of torque. The transmission in petrol is handled by a five-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic; whereas six-speed manual and automatic gearbox does the duty in diesel models. The new Fortuner measures 4,795mm in length, 1,855mm in width and 1,835mm in height and comes with a wheelbase of 2,750mm. In India, the new avatar of Toyota will be up against new Ford Endeavour and Chevrolet Trailblazer.
