This is the third price hike for the Fortuner since the facelift was launched in early 2021.
The Toyota Fortuner has just received a range-wide price bump, varying from model to model. This is not an uncommon practice, as many carmakers use the new year to revise the prices of their line-ups to counter the increasing input costs. This is however, the third price hike for the Fortuner facelift, as the first came in April 2021 and the second came in August 2021.
- The Fortuner 4×2 variants prices are up by Rs 66,000
- The 4×4 and Legender variants prices have increased by Rs 1.10 lakh
- The Fortuner’s features list remains unchanged
