With dominance of seven years, the Fortuner set a benchmark in the premium SUV space in India.

First launched in 2009, the Toyota Fortuner has always been favoured for its aggressive design, great off-road capabilities and low running cost. With dominance of seven years, the Fortuner set a benchmark in the premium SUV space in India. The company recently introduced the second-generation model of the SUV in the Indian market.

Interestingly, the new Toyota Fortuner, with over 6,200 bookings within few weeks of its launch, became an instant hit for the Japanese carmaker in India. And the vehicle still enjoys huge popularity among SUV buyers, and proof of this lies in the fact that it has crossed one lakh domestic sales milestone. Picture Gallery – New Toyota Fortuner 2017
