2025 Toyota Fortuner launched in India: Price, bookings & more

Toyota has launched mild-hybrid versions of both the standard Fortuner and its premium sibling, the Legender, in India. The prices for the Fortuner Neo Drive 48V start at Rs 44.72 lakh, while the Legender Neo Drive 48V will set you back by Rs 50.09 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom. Bookings have opened across India, with deliveries set to begin from the third week of June.With these variants, the Fortuner family adopts hybrid technology. The familiar 2.8-litre diesel motor that makes 204 hp and 500 Nm of peak torque now comes equipped with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This setup includes a belt-integrated starter generator and a lithium-ion battery to deliver smoother low-speed performance, better fuel efficiency, and quieter engine starts.Furthermore, the hybrid assist system also enables features like regenerative braking and auto start-stop - the latter switching off the engine during idling to save fuel and reduce emissions.Though the design and interiors remain largely unchanged, the Neo Drive versions get a few key feature upgrades. These include a 360-degree panoramic camera and a wireless smartphone charger. As said before, both models remain unchanged in terms of cosmetics but now sport a 'Neo Drive' badge on the tailgate.The Fortuner and Legender Neo Drive variants join Toyota’s expanding lineup of electrified models in India, which already includes the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Glanza.
