Toyota Fortuner Achieves 3 Lakh Sales Milestone In India: Is Hybrid Model Coming Soon?
Toyota Fortuner Sales In India: Toyota Fortuner, a full-size SUV, has reached a major milestone of 3 lakh cumulative sales in India. This figure includes both the Fortuner and Fortuner Legender. Since its debut in 2009, the Toyota Fortuner has long been a benchmark in the SUV segment with strong road presence and capable 4X4 performance. In 2021, Toyota launched the Fortuner Legender, offering features like dual-tone styling, sequential LED turn indicators, wireless charging, and an 11-speaker JBL sound system, boosting its premium character. The SUV is powered by a 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine that delivers 201bhp and 500Nm of torque.
