Common questions

Which Toyota Fortuner variant gives you the most equipment for the money?
The Legender 4x2 2.8 Diesel AT. It costs ₹5,36,000 more than the base 4x2 2.8 Diesel AT, and adds 3 features we value at ₹30,000 — the most equipment per rupee of any upgrade on this car — which is a measurement, not a recommendation.
How many variants does the Toyota Fortuner have?
7 across 5 powertrains (Petrol automatic, Diesel manual, Diesel automatic, Diesel manual 4WD, Diesel automatic 4WD), from ₹35,11,000 to ₹45,53,000 ex-showroom.
Is it better to buy a lower trim and add accessories afterwards?
It depends on what you're after. Cosmetic items — alloy wheels, seat covers, infotainment screens — can usually be fitted afterwards. Safety and structural equipment such as additional airbags, ESC, ADAS and a factory sunroof generally cannot be retrofitted, so if you want those they have to come from the factory.
