Toyota Fortuner 4×4 2025 : The Toyota has arrived, reinforcing its reputation as one of India’s most capable and premium full-sized SUVs. With a perfect balance of rugged performance, modern design, and cutting-edge technology, this latest model is designed to excel both on city roads and off-road adventures.
Sleek and Commanding Exterior Design
Gone are the boxy lines of previous generations—the 2025 Fortuner embraces a bold, contemporary look. The front features a striking honeycomb grille, complemented by sleek LED headlamps and dynamic daytime running lights (DRLs). Sculpted wheel arches house premium 18-inch alloy wheels, while the rear boasts sequential LED taillights and a rugged bumper with skid-plate styling.
For those seeking extra sophistication, the Fortuner now offers dual-tone paint options, such as Platinum White Pearl with a Black Roof, enhancing its premium appeal. Chrome accents further elevate its presence, making it a head-turner on any terrain.
Powerful and Efficient Engine Options
Under the hood, the 2025 Fortuner offers a choice of refined and powerful engines, all compliant with BS6 Phase 2 norms:
- 2.7L Petrol Engine: Delivering 166PS and 245Nm, this engine provides smooth performance for city driving.
- 2.8L Turbo-Diesel Engine: With 204PS and 500Nm, it offers exceptional towing capacity and highway cruising ability.
- 48V Mild-Hybrid Diesel: The standout option, this variant enhances fuel efficiency (claimed 14 kmpl) while maintaining strong low-end torque, thanks to its integrated motor-generator.
Buyers can opt for either a 6-speed manual transmission or a torque-converter automatic with paddle shifters, ensuring a dynamic and engaging drive.
Advanced 4×4 Technology for Unmatched Off-Roading
Those with an adventurous spirit will be glad for the enhanced 4×4 traction that is complemented by a Multi-Terrain Select system, so you can face new terrain with confidence. Rock mode for rocky trails, Mud & Sand mode for slippery, muddy trails and Downhill Assist Control for steep declines, the Fortuner is never going to slow down.
Other off-road help? There are plenty such as an electronic locking rear differential, Hill Start Assist, and a toughened ladder-frame chassis that takes a pounding. TECH TALK Toyota has also re-worked the suspension for greater high-speed stability, providing a comfortable ride in any road and weather conditions.
Luxurious and Tech-Forward Interior
Get in and the intuitive, luxurious and yet simple to understand Fortuner 2025 greets you. Inside, soft touch materials with contrast stitching and brushed aluminum trim provide a premium feel to the cabin. Mood is determined with 64‐color ambient lighting as cooled/heated power seats (8‐way) define comfort on long hauls.
A 10.1-inch touch screen featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is the marquee, though there are thoughtful touches as well, including a 220V power outlet and an air purifier. The Legender version also gets a panoramic sunroof, which is aimed at Indian family sensibilities.
Despite the Fortuner ‘s truck-based SUV heritage, it now promises to feature best-in-class NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels with the provision of acoustic glass and improved insulation.
