New 2025 Toyota Fortuner is about to steal the show. Toyota just dropped details on this beast, and it’s hitting showrooms soon—think late November vibes. I’ve been following Fortuner updates for years, and this one’s got that fresh edge without messing with what makes it a family favorite. Let’s break it down, from its tough looks to what it’ll cost you.
Bold Design
The 2025 Fortuner keeps its ladder-frame toughness but amps up the style. Up front, there’s a chunkier grille with LED headlights that scream premium, flanked by those signature C-shaped DRLs. Side profiles? Sleek alloy wheels up to 18 inches and roof rails ready for your weekend getaway gear. Inside, it’s all about luxury—soft-touch materials, a 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and ventilated seats for those hot Delhi summers.
New for ’25 is the Leader Edition, packing extras like a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera. Safety’s on point too: seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. It’s not just an off-roader; it’s a daily driver that pampers you. Imagine cruising through Mumbai traffic with JBL audio blasting your playlist—pure bliss.
Powerful Engine
Power-wise, the Fortuner sticks to its diesel roots with a 2.8-liter turbocharged engine pumping out 201 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic or manual, it hits 0-100 km/h in about 10 seconds. For city folks, there’s a 2.7-liter petrol option, but let’s be real—the diesel’s the star for towing up to 3 tons or conquering hill stations.
No full hybrid here yet, but Toyota’s teasing mild-hybrid tech in future tweaks for better pep without the battery hassle. It’s reliable as ever, with that Toyota badge promising low maintenance. If you’re hauling a full car of relatives to Goa, this engine won’t break a sweat.
Solid Mileage
Fuel efficiency? The 2025 model claims up to 14.6 kmpl on highways (ARAI-tested), which is decent for a big SUV. City driving dips to around 10-11 kmpl, but that’s still better than older models thanks to optimized gearing. With diesel prices hovering, it’ll save you a few bucks on those long drives. Not the greenest out there, but for an adventure machine, it’s a win.
Price
Starting at about ₹33.65 lakh ex-showroom for the base 4×2 manual, it climbs to ₹48.85 lakh for the top GR-S trim. Add on-road costs, and you’re looking at ₹38-55 lakh total. Bookings are open now—grab one before the rush. Value for money? Absolutely, especially with Toyota’s five-year warranty.
