New 2024 Toyota Fortuner: All Details!
Toyota recently unveiled the new Fortuner in South Africa, which is based on the Legender model in India.

So, you may be asking how is the Mild-Hybrid Tech beneficial? Well, the Mild-hybrid systems in cars offer fuel efficiency improvements by seamlessly integrating electric power during acceleration, and contribute to reduced emissions, promoting environmental sustainability.
The new Fortuner is expected to retain the 2.8 L Diesel engine except it’ll paired to an 48V mild-hybrid system. Similar to the South-African, expect this hybrid setup to contribute an extra 15.7 BHP and 42 NM, resulting in a combined power output of 201 BHP and 500 NM Torque. However, it’s unlikely that the Petrol engine will receive this enhancement and is expected to remain unchanged.
Toyota had claimed 5% improved fuel efficiency for the South-African Fortuner, so expect the same for the Indian version as well. Notably, Toyota may also add a new Idle Start / Stop Feature with the SUV for improved throttle response, and smooth engine response. Other than that, expect Toyota to also add new features such as 360 Surround View Camera, and Toyota Safety Sense ADAS suite.
The Fortuner rivals are also getting big updates like the Jeep Meridian is getting facelift update later this year with ADAS, MG Gloster Facelift is in works with launch likely in 2025, Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan New Generation Update will also launch likely in 2025. So, expect the New Mild-Hybrid Fortuner to launch before the end of this year!
