If you’re eyeing a new SUV, the 2027 Fortuner is slated to arrive in India in the second half of 2027, starting at ₹40 lakh. That price sits just above the current Leader Edition, which clocks in at ₹36.51 lakh, and puts the Fortuner in a tighter band with the MG Majestor and the Audi Kodiaq.
The heart of the new Fortuner is a 2.8‑litre diesel that delivers 201 hp and 420 Nm of torque in the manual, while the automatic variant bumps the torque to 500 Nm thanks to a low‑range transfer case. That’s a modest lift over the present model but enough to keep it competitive against rivals that now lean towards hybrid powertrains.
Design‑wise, the new Fortuner moves away from the curvy silhouette of its predecessor. An upright front fascia, a honeycomb mesh grille borrowed from the Hilux, and slimmer LED headlamps give it a more aggressive stance. Inside, fans can expect a 12.3‑inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, and optional panoramic roof – all powered by a 3‑phase inverter that could support a future strong‑hybrid option.
Safety is likely to step up too. Toyota is rumored to slot in Level‑2 ADAS, a 360‑degree camera, parking sensors and tyre‑pressure monitoring. Those features are becoming the baseline in the segment, so the Fortuner’s new platform should place it on par with the Skoda Tayron and the Hyundai Sorento.
For buyers who can wait, the new Fortuner will launch in late 2027, with dealerships across major metros ready to roll out the updated model in early 2028. If you need a vehicle sooner, the current Fortuner still offers a solid offering, but the next‑gen SUV brings sharper styling, more tech and a platform that will last longer.
