The Toyota Fortuner stands as the cornerstone product for the Japanese automaker in India. This premium three-row SUV has maintained its supremacy in the segment since its debut in 2009. After completing a successful 14-year journey, the Fortuner is now gearing up for a generational shift in 2024. While we await official launch details and timelines for the new 2024 Toyota Fortuner, numerous media reports have offered insights into its key changes.
Based on the information at hand, the talented team at Rushlane has created renderings of the new Fortuner in the appropriate hues. The rendered model boasts a distinctively designed front grille, updated headlamps featuring LED daytime running lights (DRLs), a revised bumper, and a redesigned fog lamp assembly. Its design language exudes a more edgy and sharper character compared to its predecessor.
The SUV showcases metallic skid plates at both the front and rear, newly-designed alloy wheels, an updated rear bumper, and reimagined taillamps that contribute to its refreshed appearance. The Fortuner also embraces square-shaped, pronounced wheel arches, door panels, and robust body cladding enveloping the entire body. The forthcoming Toyota Fortuner will draw design inspiration from the Tacoma pickup truck and will be built on the brand’s TNGA-F platform.

Expect significant feature enhancements for the new 2024 Toyota Fortuner. The SUV is rumored to incorporate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology, a hydraulic steering wheel, and vehicle stability control, among other noteworthy changes.
Toyota has officially confirmed that the next-gen Fortuner will feature a mild hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.8L turbo diesel engine with 48V mild hybrid technology. The current diesel powerplant delivers a maximum output of 204PS and peak torque of 420Nm with a manual gearbox or 500Nm with an automatic transmission. Both manual (5-speed) and automatic (6-speed) transmissions will be available.
Given all these upgrades, it’s expected that the new Toyota Fortuner will come with an elevated price tag. The model is anticipated to have its global premiere early next year, with its market launch slated for mid-2023.
