The new Toyota Fortuner will be locally manufactured at Toyota Kirloskar Motor's plant in Karnataka and is expected to be priced between Rs. 22 lakh and Rs. 28 lakh. 
Engine line-up for the new Fortuner will be sourced from the Toyota Innova Crysta, which includes a 2.4-litre GD diesel engine with 149 PS and 343 Nm of torque and a 2.8-litre GD diesel engine that produces 177 PS and 360 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes, while a 4WD system will be offered at the top-end grade.
