In coming years, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is set to redefine family SUVs with two all-new additions to its lineup. The first one is an SUV based on the Corolla Cross, positioned to take on competitors like the Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Meridian. However, the true game-changer is the next-generation Fortuner. Toyota has left no stone unturned in the comprehensive overhaul of this iconic SUV. With a fresh platform, a striking design, cutting-edge technology, and the incorporation of a mild hybrid powertrain, the Fortuner is ready to establish new benchmarks in the 7-seater SUV market. Let’s delve into all the key details that we currently have about these upcoming 7-seater Toyota SUVs.
All-New Toyota Corolla Cross SUV
According to preliminary media reports, Toyota is currently evaluating the introduction of a new SUV based on the Corolla Cross for the Indian market. This model will share its platform (TNGA-C), powertrains, and components with Toyota’s highly popular MPV, the Innova Hycross. With a wheelbase spanning 2,640mm, the forthcoming 7-seater Toyota SUV promises abundant cabin space. Much like the Hycross, it might offer flat-fold third-row seats and an electrically operated tailgate. However, it will feature a distinct design, setting it apart from the Innova Hycross. It is anticipated to be available with 2.0L petrol and 2.0L strong hybrid (184bhp/206Nm) powertrain options. More details here…
All-New Toyota Fortuner
The highly-awaited next-generation Toyota Fortuner is set to make its debut in India sometime in 2024. Drawing design inspiration from the new Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, this SUV will be built on the TNGA-F architecture. The 2024 Fortuner will come equipped with a suite of advanced features, including an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), vehicle stability control, and a hydraulic steering wheel. However, the most significant highlight will be its 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel engine, featuring mild hybrid technology and a regenerative braking system. Compared to the current generation, the new model will offer improved fuel efficiency. More details here…
