Toyota will be launching 3 New SUVs in the coming months which will be affordable new SUV, new trim, and new generation update. In this article, we’ve explained everything we know about these 3 new SUV launches so far!
New Toyota Fortuner 4th Gen (Expected: H2 2024)
The new Fortuner will get changes like new semi-hexagon shape front grille with three horizontal slats, new tri-cube LED headlights with sleeker looking LED DRLs with-in the headlamp unit. The side profile will look the same except it’ll sport new set of alloy wheels. Moving to the rear, it’s likely the new Fortuner will get connected LED taillamps and new bumper design both the front and the rear.
The cabin will likely get subtle change in dashboard design to accommodate a bigger free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment system with slimmer AC vents below, new fully digital instrument cluster, and new 4-spoke steering wheel. Moreover, the 2nd-row could get the Ottoman Seats seen in the HyCross as many of its rivals offer Captain Seats, and Toyota could follow the same footstep with the Fortuner.
The New Fortuner will continue to sport the 2.8 L Diesel and 2.7 L Petrol engine except both will be paired to the 48V battery for the mild-hybrid to reduce emissions and achieve better fuel efficiency. It is likely the power and the torque output will remain the same. In the new-gen Fortuner, it’ll have new features like 10.25-inch infotainment system, new digital instrument cluster, ottoman seats in 2nd row, 360 Surround View Camera, and we could see the return of the 11 Speaker JBL Sound System.
Toyota had confirmed 2024 launch for the Indian Market, and we should more about the SUV in the coming months.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor (Expected: Early 2024)
Toyota is expected to launch the Fronx-based SUV in early 2024. The Taisor is expected to have front change inspired from either the Hyryder, or from the Glanza. The Interiors however will be same as Fronx and it’ll be just a software and logo change. Even in Dimensions, the SUV measures the same as the Maruti Fronx. In Engine Options, the Taisor should have three options – 1.2 L Petrol paired to 5 Speed MT / AMT, 1.0 L Turbo Petrol paired to 5 Speed MT, 6 Speed AT, and 1.2 L CNG mated to 5 Speed MT Gearbox only.
In Features, the Taisor will come with features like LED Projector headlamps, LED taillamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, 9-inch infotainment system with Wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto, wireless charging pad, 6-speaker Arkamy’s sound system, height adjustable driver seat, and more.

Lastly, the Urban Cruiser Taisor is expected to be priced from Rs. 8 Lakh for the entry-level variant.
Toyota Hyryder ADAS Trim (Expected: H1 2024)
Maruti was all set to introduce ADAS earlier this year for the Grand Vitara, but for some reason, that plan was never executed this year leading to a delay. However, it’s being reported that Maruti indeeds plans on introducing a new trim for the Grand Vitara which will have ADAS for sure as well as some new features that is likely to be the Electric Parking Brake with Auto Hold function. The same applies for the Toyota Hyryder as it’s just a rebadged model and would receive the same treatment. We should be getting an official update from the brand soon in 2024.
