Toyota launches new Fortuner starting at Rs 25.92 lakh

Petrol variant of the SUV also launched in wake of environmental concerns surrounding diesel vehicles

Japanese auto major Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Monday launched the new Fortuner, it's popular SUV, priced between Rs 25.92 lakh and Rs 31.12 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). For the first time, Fortuner will also have a petrol variant.

This comes eleven months after the Supreme Court banned diesel vehicles with an engine capacity of 2,000cc and above in the national capital region (NCR). The ban, removed in August, had impacted sales of both Innova and Fortuner in the region.

The petrol variant comes with a 2.7 litre engine and the diesel one with a 2.8 litre engine.

Earlier this year, Toyota also brought in a petrol version of the Innova to cater to the NCR market.
