Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) said today that it would introduce the Fortuner model, a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in India by September 2009, however, its exact pricing details were not shared.
The SUV will have a 3-litre advanced common-rail diesel engine and will also feature full-time four-wheel drive. The vehicle will be targeted primarily at the urban luxury SUV customer.
"The Fortuner is an important addition to our product line-up in India and we are currently in the process of finalizing details for the launch. We are still working out the price details of the Fortuner, taking into account variations in exchange rates, but it expected to be around at Rs 20 lakh,” said Sandeep Singh, deputy managing director (marketing), Toyota Kirloskar Motor.
The Fortuner will be brought to India as a knocked down unit and will be assembled at TKM’s plant in Bidadi, near Bangalore.
I am waiting for this vehicle for quite some time and came to know its going to launch by sep this year. But the prices is whopping 20L. Toyota sells the same at a much lesser price in Thailand comparing to the indicative price for india. ITS EITHER TOYOTA IS MILKING INDIAN MONEY OR THE GOVT. HAS REDUCE THE TAX BURDENS ON ITS CITIZENS. HOPE TATA WILL WAKE UP AND STAND BY THE COMPETITION TO GIVE A BETTER SAFARI TO BEAT THE FORTUNER MANIA IN INDIA AND PUNISH THEM FOR OVERPRICING IN INDIA.
